ICacheEntryValidity (thymeleaf 3.0.11.RELEASE API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AlwaysValidCacheEntryValidity, NonCacheableCacheEntryValidity, TTLCacheEntryValidity
```
public interface ICacheEntryValidity
```
Common interface for all objects defining the validity of a template resolution.

These objects are queried by the Template Cache for knowing whether a template is cacheable or not, and also for determining if an existing cache entry is still valid.

A typical implementation is TTLCacheEntryValidity, which determines the validity of a cache entry based on a TTL (time-to-live).

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description

- Method Detail
  - isCacheable
```
boolean isCacheable()
```
    Returns whether the template resolution can be included into the cache or not.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the parsed template can be included into the cache, false if not.
  - isCacheStillValid
```
boolean isCacheStillValid()
```
    Returns whether this template resolution is still valid or not (and therefore its corresponding cache entry. Will only be ever called if isCacheable() returns true.
    
    This method will be called by the Parsed Template Cache before returning a cache entry, so that it can be invalidated if needed, and so trigger a new template resolution operation.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the template resolution can be still considered valid or not.
