ExpiringValue

java.lang.Object
- com.boomi.connector.util.ExpiringValue<V>

Direct Known Subclasses:

SimpleExpiringValue
```
public abstract class ExpiringValue<V>
extends Object
```
Base class for tracking a value which needs to expire after a certain amount of time or inactivity. When the current value is no longer valid, get() will return null.
This class is not thread-safe. The expectation is that subtypes of this class will be used within a ConnectorCache instance which manages the thread-safety.
