Method Summary

void	cleanup() Called when we are done with the virtualizer and wish to cleanup any resources it has.
void	clearData(JRVirtualizable o) Called when the virtual object paged-out data should be freed.
void	deregisterObject(JRVirtualizable o) Lets this virtualizer know that it no longer must track the object.
void	registerObject(JRVirtualizable o) Lets this virtualizer know that it must track the object.
void	requestData(JRVirtualizable o) Called when the virtual object must be paged-in.
void	touch(JRVirtualizable o) Lets the virtualizer know that this object is still being used.
void	virtualizeData(JRVirtualizable o) Called when the virtual object should be paged-out.

Method Detail

registerObject

void registerObject(JRVirtualizable o)

Lets this virtualizer know that it must track the object.

All virtualizable object must register with their virtualizer upon construction.

deregisterObject

void deregisterObject(JRVirtualizable o)

Lets this virtualizer know that it no longer must track the object.

touch

void touch(JRVirtualizable o)

Lets the virtualizer know that this object is still being used. This should be called to help the virtualizer determine which objects to keep in its cache, and which objects to page-out when it must do some paging-out.

The virtualizer gets to decide what type of caching strategy it will use.

requestData

void requestData(JRVirtualizable o)

Called when the virtual object must be paged-in.

If the object's virtual data is not paged-out, the object will only be touched.

clearData

void clearData(JRVirtualizable o)

Called when the virtual object paged-out data should be freed.

If the object's virtual data is not paged-out, the object will only be touched.

virtualizeData

void virtualizeData(JRVirtualizable o)

Called when the virtual object should be paged-out.

cleanup

void cleanup()

Called when we are done with the virtualizer and wish to cleanup any resources it has.
