Class UnitCache

java.lang.Object
net.sf.basedb.util.units.UnitCache
public class UnitCache extends Object
Helper class for optimized lookup of units by symbol. This class will cache units by their symbol and quantity, making repeated lookup for the same unit only hit the database the first time.

Note! The implementation of the cache is not thread-safe. If multiple threads are going to use the cache at the same time they must synchronize externally.
