Method Detail

setupEvictionQueue

protected EvictionQueue setupEvictionQueue()
                                    throws EvictionException

Description copied from class: BaseEvictionAlgorithm

This method will create an EvictionQueue implementation and prepare it for use.

Specified by:

setupEvictionQueue in class BaseEvictionAlgorithm

Returns:

The created EvictionQueue to be used as the eviction queue for this algorithm.

Throws:

EvictionException - if there are problems

EvictionQueue

shouldEvictNode

protected boolean shouldEvictNode(NodeEntry entry)

Description copied from class: BaseEvictionAlgorithm

This method will check whether the given node should be evicted or not.

Specified by:

shouldEvictNode in class BaseEvictionAlgorithm

Parameters:

entry - NodeEntry to test eviction for.

Returns:

True if the given node should be evicted. False if the given node should not be evicted.

evict

protected void evict(NodeEntry ne)

Overrides:

evict in class BaseEvictionAlgorithm

prune

protected void prune()
              throws EvictionException

Overrides:

prune in class BaseEvictionAlgorithm

Throws:

EvictionException

getConfigurationClass

public Class<? extends EvictionAlgorithmConfig> getConfigurationClass()

Description copied from interface: EvictionAlgorithm

This is a helper so that the XML parser will be able to select and use the correct EvictionAlgorithmConfig implementation class corresponding to this EvictionAlgorithm. E.g., the FIFOAlgorithm would return FIFOAlgorithmConfig.class.

Returns:

a class that is used to configure this EvictionAlgorithm.
