CacheableOptional (Core XMPP Server 4.6.0-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- org.jivesoftware.util.CacheableOptional<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cacheable
```
public class CacheableOptional<T extends Serializable>
extends Object
implements Cacheable
```
Some times it is desirable to store in a Cache the absence of a value. Unfortunately, it's not possible to store a null value in a clustered cache because of the underlying hazelcast technology used for clustering. The obvious candidate would therefore be to store an Optional object in the cache instead - unfortunately an Optional is not serializable. This class therefore performs this functionality - an optional value that is cacheable.

    Description copied from interface: Cacheable
    
    Returns the approximate size of the Object in bytes. The size should be considered to be a best estimate of how much memory the Object occupies and may be based on empirical trials or dynamic calculations.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getCachedSize in interface Cacheable
    
    Returns:
    
    the size of the Object in bytes.
    
    Throws:
    
    CannotCalculateSizeException - if the size cannot be calculated
