Class SoftValueHashMapIndex

java.lang.Object
  net.ontopia.utils.SoftValueHashMapIndex

All Implemented Interfaces:

LookupIndexIF

public class SoftValueHashMapIndex
extends Object
implements LookupIndexIF

INTERNAL: A lookup index implementation that uses soft references for the values, in order to allow them to be garbage-collected. It doesn't support a fallback, since this is not needed where it is used. It's simply a cache that allows its values to be GC-ed. Note that the keys passed in should not be SoftReferences; the index will wrap them as references where needed.

General approach is closed hashing, like in CompactHashSet. We simplify a little by assuming that null keys do not occur in put() and remove().
