offload the database and simplify scalability. Ehcache is robust, proven and full-featured and
this has made it the most widely-used Java-based cache.

/**
* Lazy List creation.
*
* A List helper class that attempts to avoid unnecessary List
* creation. If a method needs to create a List to return, but it is
* expected that this will either be empty or frequently contain a
* single item, then using LazyList will avoid additional object
* creations by using {@link Collections#EMPTY_LIST} or
* {@link Collections#singletonList(Object)} where possible.
*
*
* LazyList works by passing an opaque representation of the list in
* and out of all the LazyList methods. This opaque object is either
* null for an empty list, an Object for a list with a single entry
* or an {@link ArrayList} for a list of items.
*
* Usage
*
* Object lazylist =null;
* while(loopCondition)
* {
* Object item = getItem();
* if (item.isToBeAdded())
* lazylist = LazyList.add(lazylist,item);
* }
* return LazyList.getList(lazylist);
*
*
* An ArrayList of default size is used as the initial LazyList.
*
* @see java.util.List
