Class ImageCache

java.lang.Object
org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.loader.cache.ImageCache

public class ImageCache extends Object
This class provides a cache for images. The main key into the images is the original URI the image was accessed with.

Don't use one ImageCache instance in the context of multiple base URIs because relative URIs would not work correctly anymore.

By default, the URIs of inaccessible images are remembered but these entries are discarded after 60 seconds (which causes a retry next time the same URI is requested). This allows to counteract performance loss when accessing invalid or temporarily unavailable images over slow connections.
