  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getName

          String getName()

      A configured or generated name of this cache instance.
      Returns:
        name of this cache or null for anonymous caches.

    - #### get

          V get(K key)

      Returns a value associated by the given key, that contains a non expired value. If no value is present or it is expired the cache loader is invoked, if configured, or `null` is returned.
      Parameters:
        `key` - key with which the specified value is associated
      Returns:
        the value associated with the specified key, or `null` if there was no mapping for the key.

    - #### containsKey

          boolean containsKey(K key)

      Returns true, if there is a mapping for the specified key.
      Parameters:
        `key` - key which association should be checked
      Returns:
        `true`, if this cache contains a mapping for the specified key

    - #### put

          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.
      Parameters:
        `key` - key with which the specified value is associated
        `value` - value to be associated with the specified key

    - #### remove

          void remove(K key)

      Removes the mapping for a key from the cache if it is present.
      Parameters:
        `key` - key which mapping is to be removed from the cache, not null

    - #### clear

          void clear()

      Clear the cache.

    - #### putAll

          void putAll(Map<K,V> keystores)

      Parameters:
