boolean isKeyInCache(java.lang.Object key)

An inexpensive check to see if the key exists in the cache.

 

Parameters:

key - the key to check for

Returns:

true if an Element matching the key is found in the cache. No assertions are made about the state of the Element.

---

这个方法是Ehcache的方法，它只判断key是否存在，并不判断这个缓存元素过期没有，所以当元素加入缓存时key就一直存在，所以就算元素过期，只要key被缓存过一次，这个方法就返回true,
即缓存元素被移除的话，key还存在。


程序就不能用这个方法来判断缓存中是否存在这个某个缓存元素。
 得用如下方法：

getQuiet

Element getQuiet(java.lang.Object key)
throws java.lang.IllegalStateException,
CacheException

Gets an element from the cache, without updating Element statistics. Cache statistics are also not updated.

 

 

Parameters:

key - a serializable value

Returns:

the element, or null, if it does not exist.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE

CacheException

Since:

1.2

isExpired

boolean isExpired(Element element)
throws java.lang.IllegalStateException,
java.lang.NullPointerException

The element is expired if:

1. the idle time is non-zero and has elapsed, unless the cache is eternal; or
2. the time to live is non-zero and has elapsed, unless the cache is eternal; or
3. the value of the element is null.

 

Parameters:

element - the element to check

Returns:

true if it has expired

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the element is null
