Class CacheLoaderFactory

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.ehcache.loader.CacheLoaderFactory

public abstract class CacheLoaderFactory
extends java.lang.Object

An abstract factory for creating cache loaders. Implementers should provide their own concrete factory extending this factory.

There is one factory method for JSR107 Cache Loaders and one for Ehcache ones. The Ehcache loader is a sub interface of the JSR107 Cache Loader.

Note that both the JCache and Ehcache APIs also allow the CacheLoader to be set programmatically.
