@GwtCompatible
public interface RemovalListener<K,V>

An object that can receive a notification when an entry is removed from a cache. The removal resulting in notification could have occurred to an entry being manually removed or replaced, or due to eviction resulting from timed expiration, exceeding a maximum size, or garbage collection.

An instance may be called concurrently by multiple threads to process different entries. Implementations of this interface should avoid performing blocking calls or synchronizing on shared resources.

Method Detail

onRemoval

void onRemoval(RemovalNotification<K,V> notification)

Notifies the listener that a removal occurred at some point in the past.

This does not always signify that the key is now absent from the cache, as it may have already been re-added.
