public class CacheEntry
extends klentry
Represents an entry in vqServer's internal file cache. The path separator is always / irrespective of platform. Similar in usage to java.io.File but there is no public constructor. Use Cache.get(String fileName) or Cache.get(String archive, String entry) to obtain a CacheEntry when you need to use it; these methods create and/or update the CacheEntry if necessary. Information and data provided by a CacheEntry can be stale by up to console.getCacheTimeout().
