Hi Thiago,
I like your implementation as a general solution better, as it solves the
problem in a simple and straightforward way, whereas my approach would only
provide the tools to build a solution by yourself.
One thing I might have added is a helper method in the ReferenceType to
create the most common contribution easier, maybe something like this
pseudo/untested code:
public enum ReferenceType {
SOFT,
STRONG;
public PageCachingReferenceTypeService forPages(String...
canonicalPageNames) {
// Handle simplest case without allocating a HashSet
if (canonicalPageNames.length == 1) {
return pageName ->
canonicalPageNames[0].equalsIgnoreCase(pageName) ? this : null;
}
// Prepare the page names for case-insensitive lookup
Set<String> pageNames = new HashSet<>(canonicalPageNames.length);
for (String pageName : canonicalPageNames) {
pageNames.add(pageName.toLowerCase());
}
return pageName -> pageNames.contains(pageName.toLowerCase()) ?
this : null;
}
}
configuration.add("StrongPages", ReferenceType.STRONG.forPages("VeryLarge",
"AndTheOtherLargePage"));
Cheers
Ben
