25 * A <code>Map</code> implementation that allows mappings to be
26 * removed by the garbage collector.
27 * <p>
28 * When you construct a <code>ReferenceMap</code>, you can specify what kind
29 * of references are used to store the map's keys and values.
30 * If non-hard references are used, then the garbage collector can remove
31 * mappings if a key or value becomes unreachable, or if the JVM's memory is
32 * running low. For information on how the different reference types behave,
33 * see {@link java.lang.ref.Reference Reference}.
34 * </p>
35 * <p>
36 * Different types of references can be specified for keys and values.
37 * The keys can be configured to be weak but the values hard,
38 * in which case this class will behave like a
39 * <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/util/WeakHashMap.html">
40 * <code>WeakHashMap</code></a>. However, you can also specify hard keys and
41 * weak values, or any other combination. The default constructor uses
42 * hard keys and soft values, providing a memory-sensitive cache.
43 * </p>
44 * <p>
45 * This map is similar to
46 * {@link org.apache.commons.collections4.map.ReferenceIdentityMap ReferenceIdentityMap}.
47 * It differs in that keys and values in this class are compared using <code>equals()</code>.
48 * </p>
49 * <p>
50 * This {@link java.util.Map Map} implementation does <i>not</i> allow null elements.
51 * Attempting to add a null key or value to the map will raise a <code>NullPointerException</code>.
52 * </p>
53 * <p>
54 * This implementation is not synchronized.
55 * You can use {@link java.util.Collections#synchronizedMap} to
56 * provide synchronized access to a <code>ReferenceMap</code>.
57 * Remember that synchronization will not stop the garbage collector removing entries.
58 * </p>
59 * <p>
60 * All the available iterators can be reset back to the start by casting to
61 * <code>ResettableIterator</code> and calling <code>reset()</code>.
62 * </p>
63 * <p>
64 * <strong>Note that ReferenceMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe.</strong>
65 * If you wish to use this map from multiple threads concurrently, you must use
66 * appropriate synchronization. The simplest approach is to wrap this map
67 * using {@link java.util.Collections#synchronizedMap}. This class may throw
68 * exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.
69 * </p>
70 * <p>
71 * NOTE: As from Commons Collections 3.1 this map extends <code>AbstractReferenceMap</code>
72 * (previously it extended AbstractMap). As a result, the implementation is now
73 * extensible and provides a <code>MapIterator</code>.
74 * </p>

76 * @param <K> the type of the keys in the map
77 * @param <V> the type of the values in the map
