Class DiskCache

java.lang.Object

org.faceless.pdf2.DiskCache

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cache

public class DiskCache
extends java.lang.Object
implements Cache

A general purpose Cache which optionally writes closed streams to files on disk. This class has been tested on UNIX and Windows under multi-threaded environments, and we see no reason why it shouldn't work under other platforms as well. Here's a simple example:

   Cache cache = new DiskCache(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir")+"/pdftemp.", 8192);
   PDF.setCache(cache);
 

Since:

2.2.2
