Class LateralCacheAbstractFactory

java.lang.Object

org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.lateral.LateralCacheAbstractFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

AuxiliaryCacheFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:

LateralTCPCacheFactory

public abstract class LateralCacheAbstractFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements AuxiliaryCacheFactory

Particular lateral caches should define their own factory. It is not necessary to extend this base factory, but it can be useful.

The old factory tried to handle all types of laterals. It was gettting cluttered by ad hoc if statements. Since the javagroups lateral was jdk1.4 dependent it had to be moved. As such, the old factory could no longer import it. This motivated the change.

This abstraction layer should keep things cleaner.
