Ehcache is an open source, standards-based cache used to boost performance,
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.

/**
* Binds the value(s) of a HTTP query parameter to a resource method parameter,
* resource class field, or resource class bean property.
* Values are URL decoded unless this is disabled using the {@link Encoded}
* annotation. A default value can be specified using the {@link DefaultValue}
* annotation.
*
* The type {@code T} of the annotated parameter, field or property must
* either:
*
* - Be a primitive type
* - Have a constructor that accepts a single {@code String} argument
* - Have a static method named {@code valueOf} or {@code fromString}
* that accepts a single
* {@code String} argument (see, for example, {@link Integer#valueOf(String)})
* - Have a registered implementation of {@link javax.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverterProvider}
* that returns a {@link javax.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverter}
* instance capable of a "from string" conversion for the type.
* - Be {@code List
}, {@code Set} or
* {@code SortedSet}, where {@code T} satisfies 2, 3 or 4 above.
* The resulting collection is read-only.
*
*
* If the type is not one of the collection types listed in 5 above and the
* query parameter is represented by multiple values then the first value (lexically)
* of the parameter is used.
*
* Because injection occurs at object creation time, use of this annotation
* on resource class fields and bean properties is only supported for the
* default per-request resource class lifecycle. Resource classes using
* other lifecycles should only use this annotation on resource method
* parameters.
