/**
* A selfpopulating decorator for {@link Ehcache} that creates entries on demand.
*
* Clients of the cache simply call it without needing knowledge of whether
* the entry exists in the cache.
*
* The cache is designed to be refreshed. Refreshes operate on the backing cache, and do not
* degrade performance of {@link #get(java.io.Serializable)} calls.
*
* Thread safety depends on the factory being used. The UpdatingCacheEntryFactory should be made
* thread safe. In addition users of returned values should not modify their contents.
