/**
* This package contains interfaces for integration.
*
* It contains the {@link javax.cache.integration.CacheLoader} and
* {@link javax.cache.integration.CacheWriter} interfaces which
* allow loading from and writing to other systems respectively.
*
* A cache with a registered loader can be configured as a read-through cache, so
* that access will automatically load missing entries. And similarly a cache
* with a registered writer can be configured
* as a write-through cache, so that changes are written through to an underlying
* system.
*
* In addition a common idiom is to use a loader to initially
* populate or refresh a cache. For that purpose there is the {@link
* javax.cache.Cache#loadAll(java.util.Set, boolean, CompletionListener)} method.
