Interface CacheExtension</H2>
<HR>
<DL>
<DT><PRE>public interface <B>CacheExtension</B></DL>
</PRE>
<P>
This is a general purpose mechanism to allow generic extensions to a Cache.
<p/>
CacheExtensions are tied into the Cache lifecycle. For that reason this interface has the lifecycle
methods.
<p/>
CacheExtensions are created using the CacheExtensionFactory which has a <code>createCacheCacheExtension()</code>
method which takes as a parameter a Cache and properties. It can thus call back into any public method on Cache,
including, of course, the load methods.
<p/>
CacheExtensions are suitable for timing services, where you want to create a timer to perform
cache operations. The other way of adding Cache behaviour is to decorate a cache. See
<A HREF="../../../../net/sf/ehcache/constructs/blocking/BlockingCache.html" title="class in net.sf.ehcache.constructs.blocking"><CODE>BlockingCache</CODE></A> for an example of how to do this.
<p/>
Because a CacheExtension holds a reference to a Cache, the CacheExtension can do things such as registering a
CacheEventListener or even a CacheManagerEventListener, all from within a CacheExtension, creating more
opportunities for customisation.
