Class SoftCache<K,V>

java.lang.Object
  com.sun.hk2.component.SoftCache<K,V>

public class SoftCache<K,V>
extends Object

A very primitive cache of at most one entry, that uses both SoftReference(s) to the key as well as the value it caches. Useful to provide minimal caching without imposing on heap.
