Method Summary

void	clear() Clear the cache.
boolean	containsKey(K key) Returns true, if there is a mapping for the specified key.
V	get(K key) Returns a value associated by the given key, that contains a non expired value.
String	getName() A configured or generated name of this cache instance.
void	put(K key, V value) Updates an existing cache entry for the specified key, so it associates the given value, or, insert a new cache entry for this key and value.
void	putAll(Map<K,V> keystores)
void	remove(K key) Removes the mapping for a key from the cache if it is present.
