## Detailed Description

### template<class ATTRIBUTES, class CACHING_UTILITY>
class ACE_LRU_Caching_Strategy< ATTRIBUTES, CACHING_UTILITY >

Defines a Least Recently Used strategy which will decide on the item to be removed from the cache.

This is a strategy which makes use of a virtual timer which is updated whenever an item is inserted or looked up in the container. When the need of purging entries arises, the items with the lowest timer values are removed. Explanation of the template parameter list: CONTAINER is any map with entries of type <KEY, VALUE>. The ATTRIBUTES are the deciding factor for purging of entries and should logically be included with the VALUE. Some ways of doing this are: As being a member of the VALUE or VALUE being ACE_Pair<x, ATTRIBUTES>. The CACHING_UTILITY is the class which can be plugged in and which decides the entries to purge.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class ATTRIBUTES, class CACHING_UTILITY>
ACE_LRU_Caching_Strategy< ATTRIBUTES, CACHING_UTILITY >::ACE_LRU_Caching_Strategy | ( | void |  | ) |

| The <container> is the map in which the entries reside. The timer attribute is initialed to zero in this constructor. And the <purge_percent> field denotes the percentage of the entries in the cache which can be purged automagically and by default is set to 10%.
