This class provides a map based cache with weakly referenced values. Cleared references are purged from the underlying map when values are retrieved or created. It uses a HashMap to store values and needs to be externally synchronized.
Type parameters:
  • <K> – the key type
  • <V> – the value type

public final class WeakValueCache<K, V> { private final HashMap<K, KeyValueReference<K, V>> map = new HashMap<>(); private final ReferenceQueue<V> refQueue = new ReferenceQueue<>();
Returns the value associated with key, or null if no such value exists.
Params:
  • key – the key
Returns:the value or null if none exists
/** * Returns the value associated with {@code key}, or {@code null} if no such value exists. * * @param key the key * @return the value or null if none exists */

Returns the value associated with key, or creates and returns a new value if no value exists using the creator function.
Params:
  • key – the key
  • creator – function to create a new value
Returns:the existing value, or a new one if none existed
