/**
 * 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. * * @author Greg Luck * @version $Id: SelfPopulatingCache.java 5631 2012-05-10 08:31:33Z teck $ */ public class SelfPopulatingCache extends BlockingCache { private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SelfPopulatingCache.class.getName()); /** * A factory for creating entries, given a key */ protected final CacheEntryFactory factory; /** * Creates a SelfPopulatingCache. */ public SelfPopulatingCache(final Ehcache cache, final CacheEntryFactory factory) throws CacheException { super(cache); this.factory = factory; } /** * Looks up an entry. creating it if not found. */ @Override public Element get(final Object key) throws LockTimeoutException { Element element = super.get(key); if (element == null) { try { // Value not cached - fetch it Object value = factory.createEntry(key); element = makeAndCheckElement(key, value); } catch (final Throwable throwable) { // Could not fetch - Ditch the entry from the cache and rethrow // release the lock you acquired element = new Element(key, null); throw new CacheException("Could not fetch object for cache entry with key \"" + key + "\".", throwable); } finally { put(element); } } return element; } /** * Refresh the elements of this cache. *
