Enum CacheItemPriority

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<CacheItemPriority>

com.alachisoft.ncache.runtime.CacheItemPriority

public enum CacheItemPriority
extends java.lang.Enum<CacheItemPriority>

Specifies the relative priority of items stored in the Cache. When the application's cache is full or runs low on memory, the Cache selectively purges items to free system memory. When an item is added to the Cache, you can assign it a relative priority compared to the other items stored in the Cache. Items you assign higher priority values to are less likely to be deleted from the Cache when the server is processing a large number of requests, while items you assign lower priority values are more likely to be deleted. The default is Normal.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
AboveNormal	Cache items with this priority level are less likely to be deleted as the server frees system memory than those assigned a Normal priority.
BelowNormal	Cache items with this priority level are more likely to be deleted from the cache as the server frees system memory than items assigned a Normal priority.
Default	The default value for a cached item's priority is Normal
High	Cache items with this priority level are the least likely to be deleted from the cache as the server frees system memory.
Low	Cache items with this priority level are the most likely to be deleted from the cache as the server frees system memory.
Normal	Cache items with this priority level are likely to be deleted from the cache as the server frees system memory only after those items with Low or BelowNormal priority.
NotRemovable	The cache items with this priority level will not be deleted from the cache as the server frees system memory.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static CacheItemPriority	forValue(int value)	retreives the enum constant of the specified value, if exists.
static CacheItemPriority	getValueFromString(java.lang.String value)	retreives the enum constant of the specified value, if exists.
int	value()	Order is important in enums.By using Value() method, each enum constant index can be found, just like array index.
static CacheItemPriority	valueOf(java.lang.String name)	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static CacheItemPriority[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

Normal

public static final CacheItemPriority Normal

Cache items with this priority level are likely to be deleted from the cache as the server frees system memory only after those items with Low or BelowNormal priority. This is the default.

Low

public static final CacheItemPriority Low

Cache items with this priority level are the most likely to be deleted from the cache as the server frees system memory.

BelowNormal

public static final CacheItemPriority BelowNormal

Cache items with this priority level are more likely to be deleted from the cache as the server frees system memory than items assigned a Normal priority.

AboveNormal

public static final CacheItemPriority AboveNormal

Cache items with this priority level are less likely to be deleted as the server frees system memory than those assigned a Normal priority.

High

public static final CacheItemPriority High

Cache items with this priority level are the least likely to be deleted from the cache as the server frees system memory.

NotRemovable

public static final CacheItemPriority NotRemovable

The cache items with this priority level will not be deleted from the cache as the server frees system memory.

Default

public static final CacheItemPriority Default

The default value for a cached item's priority is Normal

Method Detail

values

public static CacheItemPriority[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (CacheItemPriority c : CacheItemPriority.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static CacheItemPriority valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

forValue

public static CacheItemPriority forValue(int value)

retreives the enum constant of the specified value, if exists.

Parameters:

value - enum constant index

Returns:

enum constant

value

public int value()

Order is important in enums.By using Value() method, each enum constant index can be found, just like array index.

Returns:

enum constant index

getValueFromString

public static CacheItemPriority getValueFromString(java.lang.String value)

retreives the enum constant of the specified value, if exists.

Parameters:

value - enum constant index

Returns:

enum constant
