Interface GeneratedCacheKey

All Superinterfaces:
Serializable
public interface GeneratedCacheKey extends Serializable
A Serializable, immutable, thread-safe object that is used as a key, automatically generated by a CacheKeyGenerator.

The implementation MUST follow the Java contract for Object.hashCode() and Object.equals(Object) to ensure correct behavior.

It is recommended that implementations also override Object.toString() and provide a human-readable string representation of the key.
