Package org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.loader.cache

Class ImageCache

java.lang.Object

org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.loader.cache.ImageCache

public class ImageCache
extends Object

This class provides a cache for images. The main key into the images is the original URI the image was accessed with.

Don't use one ImageCache instance in the context of multiple base URIs because relative URIs would not work correctly anymore.

By default, the URIs of inaccessible images are remembered but these entries are discarded after 60 seconds (which causes a retry next time the same URI is requested). This allows to counteract performance loss when accessing invalid or temporarily unavailable images over slow connections.

Constructor Detail

ImageCache

public ImageCache()

Default constructor with default settings.

ImageCache

public ImageCache(org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.loader.cache.TimeStampProvider timeStampProvider,
                  ExpirationPolicy invalidURIExpirationPolicy)

Constructor for customized behaviour and testing.

Parameters:

timeStampProvider - the time stamp provider to use

invalidURIExpirationPolicy - the expiration policy for invalid URIs

Method Detail

setCacheListener

public void setCacheListener(ImageCacheListener listener)

Sets an ImageCacheListener instance so the events in the image cache can be observed.

Parameters:

listener - the listener instance

needImageInfo

public ImageInfo needImageInfo(String uri,
                               ImageSessionContext session,
                               ImageManager manager)
                        throws ImageException,
                               IOException

Returns an ImageInfo instance for a given URI.

Parameters:

uri - the image's URI

session - the session context

manager - the ImageManager handling the images

Returns:

the ImageInfo instance

Throws:

ImageException - if an error occurs while parsing image data

IOException - if an I/O error occurs while loading image data

isInvalidURI

public boolean isInvalidURI(String uri)

Indicates whether a URI has previously been identified as an invalid URI.

Parameters:

uri - the image's URI

Returns:

true if the URI is invalid

getImageInfo

protected ImageInfo getImageInfo(String uri)

Returns an ImageInfo instance from the cache or null if none is found.

Parameters:

uri - the image's URI

Returns:

the ImageInfo instance or null if the requested information is not in the cache

putImageInfo

protected void putImageInfo(ImageInfo info)

Registers an ImageInfo instance with the cache.

Parameters:

info - the ImageInfo instance

getImage

public Image getImage(ImageInfo info,
                      ImageFlavor flavor)

Returns an image from the cache or null if it wasn't found.

Parameters:

info - the ImageInfo instance representing the image

flavor - the requested ImageFlavor for the image

Returns:

the requested image or null if the image is not in the cache

getImage

public Image getImage(String uri,
                      ImageFlavor flavor)

Returns an image from the cache or null if it wasn't found.

Parameters:

uri - the image's URI

flavor - the requested ImageFlavor for the image

Returns:

the requested image or null if the image is not in the cache

putImage

public void putImage(Image img)

Registers an image with the cache.

Parameters:

img - the image

clearCache

public void clearCache()

Clears the image cache (all ImageInfo and Image objects).

doHouseKeeping

public void doHouseKeeping()

Triggers some house-keeping, i.e. removes stale entries.
