Class CacheLRU

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.oro.util.GenericCache
      org.apache.oro.util.CacheLRU

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cache, java.io.Serializable

public final class CacheLRU

extends GenericCache

This class is a GenericCache subclass implementing an LRU (Least Recently Used) cache replacement policy. In other words, values are added to the cache until it becomes full. Once the cache is full, when a new value is added to the cache, it replaces the least recently used value currently in the cache. This is probably the best general purpose cache replacement policy.

Since:

1.0

2.0.9-dev-1
