java 软引用 - SoftReference

Apache JXPath 对于编译好的表达式，是采用软引用方式进行缓存的，以此降低对xpath表达式编译的开销。直接上代码了：

 

 

    private Expression compileExpression(String xpath) {
        Expression expr;

        synchronized (compiled) {
            if (USE_SOFT_CACHE) {
                expr = null;
                SoftReference ref = (SoftReference) compiled.get(xpath);
                if (ref != null) {
                    expr = (Expression) ref.get();
                }
            }
            else {
                expr = (Expression) compiled.get(xpath);
            }
        }

        if (expr != null) {
            return expr;
        }

        expr = (Expression) Parser.parseExpression(xpath, getCompiler());

        synchronized (compiled) {
            if (USE_SOFT_CACHE) {
                if (cleanupCount++ >= CLEANUP_THRESHOLD) {
                    Iterator it = compiled.entrySet().iterator();
                    while (it.hasNext()) {
                        Entry me = (Entry) it.next();
                        if (((SoftReference) me.getValue()).get() == null) {
                            it.remove();
                        }
                    }
                    cleanupCount = 0;
                }
                
                compiled.put(xpath, new SoftReference(expr));
            }
            else {
                compiled.put(xpath, expr);
            }
        }

        return expr;
    }
