Class CacheLRU

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cache

public final class CacheLRU extends GenericCache
This class is a GenericCache subclass implementing an LRU (Least Recently Used) cache replacement policy. In other words, values are added to the cache until it becomes full. Once the cache is full, when a new value is added to the cache, it replaces the least recently used value currently in the cache. This is probably the best general purpose cache replacement policy.
