CachedMap (Apache Maven 4.0.0-alpha-2 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.codehaus.plexus.util.CachedMap

All Implemented Interfaces:

Map
```
public final class CachedMap
extends Object
implements Map
```
This class provides cache access to Map collections.

Instance of this class can be used as "proxy" for any collection implementing the java.util.Map interface.

Typically, CachedMap are used to accelerate access to large collections when the access to the collection is not evenly distributed (associative cache). The performance gain is about 50% for the fastest hash map collections (e.g. FastMap). For slower collections such as java.util.TreeMap, non-resizable FastMap (real-time) or database access, performance can be of several orders of magnitude.

Note: The keys used to access elements of a CachedMap do not need to be immutable as they are not stored in the cache (only keys specified by the put(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) method are). In other words, access can be performed using mutable keys as long as these keys can be compared for equality with the real map's keys (e.g. same hashCode values).

This implementation is not synchronized. Multiple threads accessing or modifying the collection must be synchronized externally.

This class is public domain (not copyrighted).

- Constructor Detail
  - CachedMap
```
public CachedMap()
```
    Creates a cached map backed by a FastMap. The default cache size and map capacity is set to 256 entries.
  - CachedMap
```
public CachedMap(int cacheSize)
```
    Creates a cached map backed by a FastMap and having the specified cache size.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cacheSize - the cache size, the actual cache size is the first power of 2 greater or equal to cacheSize. This is also the initial capacity of the backing map.
  - CachedMap
```
public CachedMap(int cacheSize,
                 Map backingMap)
```
    Creates a cached map backed by the specified map and having the specified cache size. In order to maintain cache veracity, it is critical that all update to the backing map is accomplished through the CachedMap instance; otherwise flush() has to be called.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cacheSize - the cache size, the actual cache size is the first power of 2 greater or equal to cacheSize.
    
    backingMap - the backing map to be "wrapped" in a cached map.
- Method Detail
  - getCacheSize
```
public int getCacheSize()
```
    Returns the actual cache size.
    
    Returns:
    
    the cache size (power of 2).
  - getBackingMap
```
public Map getBackingMap()
```
    Returns the backing map. If the backing map is modified directly, this CachedMap has to be flushed.
    
    Returns:
    
    the backing map.
    
    See Also:
    
    flush()
  - flush
```
public void flush()
```
    Flushes the key/value pairs being cached. This method should be called if the backing map is externally modified.
  - get
```
public Object get(Object key)
```
    Returns the value to which this map maps the specified key. First, the cache is being checked, then if the cache does not contains the specified key, the backing map is accessed and the key/value pair is stored in the cache.

    Parameters:
    
    key - the key whose associated value is to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value to which this map maps the specified key, or null if the map contains no mapping for this key.
    
    Throws:
    
    ClassCastException - if the key is of an inappropriate type for the backing map (optional).
    
    NullPointerException - if the key is null.
  - put
```
public Object put(Object key,
                  Object value)
```

    Throws:
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if the put operation is not supported by the backing map.
    
    ClassCastException - if the class of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map.
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if some aspect of this key or value prevents it from being stored in this map.
    
    NullPointerException - if the key is null.
  - remove
```
public Object remove(Object key)
