How to create Caffeine cache that has no max value and does not expire?

Question

I have implemented a Caffeine cache as follows:

private static Cache<String, MyObject> MyObjectCache = Caffeine.newBuilder()
    .build();

How can I ensure that the cache has no max size and does not expire?

You've just done it in that code sample, haven't you? You've provided no maximum size and no expiry time after read or write, so I can't see why it would enforce a maximum size or expire. – Industrialize

@MichaelBerry is correct. Unlike some other caching libraries, Caffeine does not have implicit default bounds. The obvious code, yours, works exactly how you would expect it to. – Kaleidoscopic

OK I was not aware the defaults did not have bonds. feel free to answer so I can accept – Contrapuntist

A Caffeine cache can be implemented with no max value and no expiration by the following:

private static Cache<String, MyObject> MyObjectCache = Caffeine.newBuilder()
    .build();

I.e. it is created without a max value and expiration as default.
