Class CacheStoreMap

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Map

public class CacheStoreMap extends ConverterCollections.ConverterMap
A backing Map implementation that delegates all operations to a CacheStore.

Note: The clear() method is explicitly not implemented. Items can be removed individually, but the suggested usage is to indicate item deletion by state change, such as by setting a persistent "item-deleted" flag. There are two reasons for this:

  1. The CacheHandler for the backing Map may use the clear() method as part of setup and tear-down.
  2. Deletions are not replicatable to new members, since there is no record of the deletions having occurred. To be certain that new members are aware of items having been deleted, the "evidence" of the deletion must be recorded (i.e. as part of the "deleted" item's state).
