All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.Map<K,V>

public class CacheMap<K,V>
extends java.util.LinkedHashMap<K,V>

This class extends LinkedHashMap to provide a simple caching facility. It just redefines removeEldestEntry() from LinkedHashMap, and the superclass performs everything else.
