- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### ConstantTimeToLiveExpirationPolicy

          public ConstantTimeToLiveExpirationPolicy()

      Default constructor. Constructs a policy using a negative time-to-live value that results in entries never expiring.

    - #### ConstantTimeToLiveExpirationPolicy

          public ConstantTimeToLiveExpirationPolicy(long timeToLiveMillis)

      Construct a policy with the given time-to-live constant measured in milliseconds. A negative time-to-live value indicates entries never expire. A zero time-to-live value indicates entries expire (nearly) immediately.
      Parameters:
        `timeToLiveMillis` - the constant amount of time (in milliseconds) an entry is available before it expires. A negative value results in entries that NEVER expire. A zero value results in entries that ALWAYS expire.

    - #### ConstantTimeToLiveExpirationPolicy

          public ConstantTimeToLiveExpirationPolicy(long timeToLive,
                                                    TimeUnit timeUnit)

      Construct a policy with the given time-to-live constant measured in the given time unit of measure.
      Parameters:
        `timeToLive` - the constant amount of time an entry is available before it expires. A negative value results in entries that NEVER expire. A zero value results in entries that ALWAYS expire.
        `timeUnit` - the unit of time for the `timeToLive` parameter, must not be null.
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if the time unit is null.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### expirationTime

          public long expirationTime(K key,
                                     V value)

      Determine the expiration time for the given key-value entry.
      Specified by:
        `expirationTime` in interface `PassiveExpiringMap.ExpirationPolicy<K,V>`
      Parameters:
        `key` - the key for the entry (ignored).
        `value` - the value for the entry (ignored).
      Returns:
        if `timeToLiveMillis` ≥ 0, an expiration time of `timeToLiveMillis` + `System.currentTimeMillis()` is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned indicating the entry never expires.
