Java Application Cache

阅读更多

Application Cache is used very wide.

we need to cache user/business information in application, cause of it is used often, so don't need to clear cache.

sure, we can control of it, but if we cache so many messages, we will be lose control. every business want to cache something to improve it's performance, so what's the solution?

we can use soft reference, it will be GC before out of memory, and it used cache in so many cache framework.

package com.statestreet.tlp.cache;
  
import java.lang.ref.SoftReference;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap;

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

/**
 * 
 * Common cache use scenarios include an application cache, a second level (L2)[EHCache] cache and a hybrid cache.
 * 
 * 
 * Global Cache.[Application Cache]
 * 
 * Strong ==> Soft ==> Weak ==> Phantom
 * 
 * SoftReference: Soft references are most often used to implement memory-sensitive caches
 *                Soft reference objects, which are cleared at the discretion of the garbage collector in response to memory demand.
 * 
 * WeakHashMap: the key is not usually use will be delete, there map is not synchronized {@link Collections#synchronizedMap Collections.synchronizedMap}.
 *              case of back thread delete object don't use, so it is not used abroad
 * PhantomReference: garbage collector will be delete object, phantom reference always returns null.
 *              almost we can't see this example.
 *
