/**
 * Defines a concurrent cache with a factory for creating new object instances.
 * 
 * This (combined with ExpiringConcurrentCache) offers functionality similar
 * to com.sun.faces.util.Cache.  Two differences:
 *
 * 1. Cache is concrete/assumes a particular implementation.  ConcurrentCache
 *    is abstract/allows subclasses to provide the implementation.  This
 *    facilitates alternative implementations, such as DefaultFaceletCache's
 *    NoCache.
 * 2. ConcurrentCache does not provide remove() as part of its contract, since
 *    remove behavior may be subclass-specific.  For example,
 *    ExpiringConcurentCache automatically removes items by checking for
 *    expiration rather than requiring manual removes.
 *
 * We should consider consolidating Cache and ConcurrentCache + 
 * ExpiringConcurrentCache into a single class hierarchy so that we
 * do not need to duplicate the JCIP scalable result cache code.
