Interface Cache

All Known Implementing Classes:

BlockingCache, FifoCache, LoggingCache, LruCache, PerpetualCache, ScheduledCache, SerializedCache, SoftCache, SynchronizedCache, TransactionalCache, WeakCache

public interface Cache

SPI for cache providers. One instance of cache will be created for each namespace. The cache implementation must have a constructor that receives the cache id as an String parameter. MyBatis will pass the namespace as id to the constructor.

 public MyCache(final String id) {
  if (id == null) {
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cache instances require an ID");
  }
  this.id = id;
  initialize();
 }
