This project is a recreation of a simple in-memory caching library I created for a previous job.

It has a number of inherent limitations:

• It does not integrate with JSR 107 (javax.cache) or any other standard API.
• It does not store data in a database or other backing store.
• It does not distribute data among remote instances.

It will (when complete) do the following:

• Allow system administrators to control the parameters of each cache.
• Provide an almost realtime view of all data being cached.

So, if you need a simple way to cache results that almost looks like a java.util.Map then this might fit the bill.

Building the library

Run ant in the project's root directory. It will build a jar file (currently cache.jar) after running unit tests and coverage metrics.
