Element Detail

keyType

public abstract Class<?> keyType

The data type of the key, used to instantiate wrapper maps.

Returns:

- The type of key to use in any maps; default is String. You are recommended to avoid the use of Long keys; not only are they emulated and thus slow on the client, they also require your server to lock on a key range to provide you keys. Prefer instead to use deterministic keys that you can contruct from runtime data.

Default:

java.lang.String.class
