Efficiency question

[mfrost]

Hi,

We have the need to store XML in the cache with a Long value as the key.

We can implement this in either of the following 2 ways:

(In the examples the key=123 and XML=

1. Each XML value has 1 node whose FQN is simply new Fqn(new Long(123L)) e.g. /123

OR

2. We only have 1 node and store the data in the standard HashMap key/value way e.g. /ROOT 123,

Which is more efficient particularly as the number of objects in the cache grows?

Does 1 solution have a smaller memory footprint?

Many thanks again for your help,

regards

It's about the same: both children nodes and attributes of a node are stored as hashmaps, so lookup time is the same.
