org.jgroups.blocks.Cache.get() method always evicts values because it does not check Value.insertion_time --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-1979 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1979 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.6.1, 3.6.6 Environment: Windows 10 64-bit Reporter: Ben Johnson Assignee: Bela Ban Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.6.7 Attachments: Cache.java, Cache.java, CacheTest.java, CacheTest.java org.jgroups.blocks.Cache.get(String key) always evicts the matching entry and returns a value of null. It is doing this because the method is comparing the Value timeout property against the current system time without using the Value's insertion_time (unlike the evict() method, which does). I have created a simple unit test to illustrate this and provided a fix (from the 3.6.1.Final code base, which doesn't include the diamond operator updates). I added a couple of helper methods isExpired(Value val) and getValue(Value val)
