CacheManager (Apache Shiro :: Cache 1.6.0 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractCacheManager, MemoryConstrainedCacheManager
```
public interface CacheManager
```
A CacheManager provides and maintains the lifecycles of Cache instances.
Shiro doesn't implement a full Cache mechanism itself, since that is outside the core competency of a Security framework. Instead, this interface provides an abstraction (wrapper) API on top of an underlying cache framework's main Manager component (e.g. JCache, Ehcache, JCS, OSCache, JBossCache, TerraCotta, Coherence, GigaSpaces, etc, etc), allowing a Shiro user to configure any cache mechanism they choose.
