Remember, the goal here is to be able to create a cache that uses expiration but has no defined cache size limit. Reading through the code, if ‘-1’ is specified for the eviction maxEntries, then a ConcurrentHashMap is created and used as the data container and no eviction is performed. Otherwise a BoundedConcurrentHashMap is created and used as the data container and eviction is performed according to the specified strategy.</SPAN><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></P>

<META name=Generator content="Microsoft SafeHTML">
<DIV>Hi Dave</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Just saw that you signed the contributor agreement.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So yeah, what you may want to look into is the EvictionManager [1] which will periodically have its processEviction() [2] method called. This doesn't actually do any evictions here (named so for legacy reasons) since the current data container is self-sizing/evicting. However it is still periodically invoked to purge expired entries. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You can piggyback on the same invocation to test upper and lower bounds of memory utilisation (if enabled), but the bit that I still think you need to figure out is deciding which entries to evict, and how many of them to evict.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>
