Method Detail

put

void put(Class<?> cls,
       ClassCopier copier)

Put copier into the cache for Class cls. Thereafter, the get method will return the assigned copier for Class cls. There is no way to remove an entry from the cache. However, this cache must use weak keys (like WeakHashMap) to avoid pinning ClassLoaders in memory. Consequently entries in the cache MAY silently disappear.
