Class AbstractValueAdaptingCache

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.cache.support.AbstractValueAdaptingCache

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cache

Direct Known Subclasses:

CaffeineCache, ConcurrentMapCache, GuavaCache, JCacheCache

public abstract class AbstractValueAdaptingCache
extends Object
implements Cache

Common base class for Cache implementations that need to adapt null values (and potentially other such special values) before passing them on to the underlying store.

Transparently replaces given null user values with an internal NullValue.INSTANCE, if configured to support null values (as indicated by isAllowNullValues().

Since:

4.2.2

Constructor Detail

AbstractValueAdaptingCache

protected AbstractValueAdaptingCache(boolean allowNullValues)

Create an AbstractValueAdaptingCache with the given setting.

Parameters:

allowNullValues - whether to allow for null values

Method Detail

isAllowNullValues

public final boolean isAllowNullValues()

Return whether null values are allowed in this cache.

get

public Cache.ValueWrapper get(Object key)

Description copied from interface: Cache

Return the value to which this cache maps the specified key.

Returns null if the cache contains no mapping for this key; otherwise, the cached value (which may be null itself) will be returned in a Cache.ValueWrapper.

Specified by:

get in interface Cache

Parameters:

key - the key whose associated value is to be returned

Returns:

the value to which this cache maps the specified key, contained within a Cache.ValueWrapper which may also hold a cached null value. A straight null being returned means that the cache contains no mapping for this key.

See Also:

Cache.get(Object, Class)

get

public <T> T get(Object key,
                 Class<T> type)

Description copied from interface: Cache

Return the value to which this cache maps the specified key, generically specifying a type that return value will be cast to.

Note: This variant of get does not allow for differentiating between a cached null value and no cache entry found at all. Use the standard Cache.get(Object) variant for that purpose instead.

Specified by:

get in interface Cache

Parameters:

key - the key whose associated value is to be returned

type - the required type of the returned value (may be null to bypass a type check; in case of a null value found in the cache, the specified type is irrelevant)

Returns:

the value to which this cache maps the specified key (which may be null itself), or also null if the cache contains no mapping for this key

See Also:

Cache.get(Object)

lookup

protected abstract Object lookup(Object key)

Perform an actual lookup in the underlying store.

Parameters:

key - the key whose associated value is to be returned

Returns:

the raw store value for the key, or null if none

fromStoreValue

protected Object fromStoreValue(Object storeValue)

Convert the given value from the internal store to a user value returned from the get method (adapting null).

Parameters:

storeValue - the store value

Returns:

the value to return to the user

toStoreValue

protected Object toStoreValue(Object userValue)

Convert the given user value, as passed into the put method, to a value in the internal store (adapting null).

Parameters:

userValue - the given user value

Returns:

the value to store

toValueWrapper

protected Cache.ValueWrapper toValueWrapper(Object storeValue)

Wrap the given store value with a SimpleValueWrapper, also going through fromStoreValue(java.lang.Object) conversion. Useful for get(Object) and Cache.putIfAbsent(Object, Object) implementations.

Parameters:

storeValue - the original value

Returns:

the wrapped value
