Apache OFBiz has a soft reference cache implementation.

guten morgen Bene,

I have not a strong opinion about it, I am convinced anyway that the
original BU authors (BU2 at the beginning was a tentative to refurbish
BU) adopted the WeakHashMap NOT with the purpose of implementing a
`cache` in the strict sense we are used to. We should go back to the
ML history and find related discussions about it to understand that
decision.

If we need to switch implementation, in Apache Cocoon we developed a
simple LRU cache hacking the LinkedHashMap, we could import and adapt
that version - it would be better keeping BU2 dependencies-less.

Thanks,

Hi,

I just came across this post:
http://www.codeinstructions.com/2008/09/weakhashmap-is-not-cache-understanding.html
Now i'm wondering what you think about it, since we are using the
WeakHashMap for BU2. Maybe we should be looking for an alternative
caching mechanism?
Any suggestions?

Best regards,
Benedikt
