Description

Interface Summary

DataStructure<T>	An interface for all the datastructures implemented in this package.
Map<K,V>	A sub-class of java.util.Map that defines additional methods that will be implemented by all the implementations that are used to implement caches.
Map.Statistics	An interface that defines the methods that may be invoked to monitor cache usage.

Class Summary

Calendar	A wrapper around java.util.GregorianCalendar.
Change8Crmp10	This utility class changes all the text that are enclosed within / characters with \textit{<text>}.
DynamicCache<K,V>	A Map used to implement a dynamic cache that grows only up to the heap space available to the process.
DynamicCache.Cleaner	A TimerTask that is used to schedule clearing of mappings for garbage collected DynamicCache.Value objects.
FIFO<K,V>	A First Iin First Out implementation using a LinkedHashMap.
JCrypt	Pure Java implementation of the UNIX crypt library.
LaTeXAccents	Convert ISO character entities into their equivalent 7-bit ASCII characters, or LATEX equivalents.
LinkedHashMap<K,V>	A sub-class of java.util.LinkedHashMap used to implement a size controlled Map.
LinkedHashMap.Statistics	An implementation of LinkedHashMap.Statistics used to track cache performance.
LRU<K,V>	A Least Recently Used implementation using a LinkedHashMap.
ObjectCache<K,V>	A simple decorator around a LinkedHashMap and DynamicCache that can be used to cache object instances.
PasswordGenerator	A utility class that can be used to generate secure random password values.
SharedObject<T>	A decorator around a Map that can be used to share object instances.
SimpleFIFO<T>	A First In First Out implementation using an array.
SimpleLRU<T>	A Least Recently Used implementation using an array and a Map.
StringUtilities	Provides utility methods to return String objects from commonly used resources.

Package org.rakeshv.utils Description

Utility classes developed for miscellaneous purposes. Some interesting classes in this package are:

1. Calendar A calendar, which automatically changes the underlying time when setting/changing the TimeZone.
2. ObjectCache A cache that supports size controlled LRU and FIFO implementations using the LinkedHashMap, or dynamic SoftReference based cache built around a ConcurrentHashMap.
3. SharedObject A wrapper around a Map that can be used to share equivalent object instances. When the map becomes full, old objects are removed and new ones added in accordance with a LRU policy. Similar to ObjectCache, the cache size can be fixed or left dynamic.
