Actually, I'm only concerned about keySet().iterator() and =
values().iterator().  Not about keySet() and values() :) =20
Perhaps something that can be worked in as we move forward?  I think =
this (the "ill-formedness" of the iterators) could be something captured =
in docs today and implemented explicitly moving forward.  Perhaps I'll =
take a shot once we've got it checked in....=20

Now if only I can find my password for CVS :) I should be able to check =
it in.... =20

Maybe you could just go ahead and throw UnsupportedOperationException on =
keySet(), but implement a generic debugCachingIssues() method!  ;-)

Hey there,

Thanks for all the feedback! Ideally, I think this makes the most sense=20
as a Map --since it's most common use cases are as a Map-- and the=20
javadoc would spell out usage scenarios and challenges (something I=20
will work on).

I've changed two points: TimedMapKey is now private and the backing=20
store is no longer synchronized (as per Arun's suggestions).=20
Synchronization can be left to the client developer.

Even though I wouldn't want to have client code accessing entries via=20
iterator in normal usage, I don't think calling keySet() should throw=20
an UnsupportedOperationException since examining the keySet of such a=20
map could be very useful in debugging caching issues.

Thanks,

-Joe
