           Summary: [VFS] SoftRefFilesCache does not work
           Product: Commons
           Version: 1.0 Beta 2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Sandbox

        ReportedBy: adagoubard@chello.nl


The SoftRefFilesCache does not work.

It's not it's fault ;-) but it goes more about the principal that garbage
collection happens every 2 or 3 seconds and that it removes some of the files in
the cache and this produce an inconsistent cache.

This is particulary true when listing the content of a zip/jar file, the first
read seems ok then some files disappear until eventually the directory get empty
:-(.

I know about the small article about soft reference in cache wrote in Javalobby
;-) but I disagree with it and this prove that caching using soft reference does
not work for caching.

Please change the DefaultFileSystem to use the DefaultFilesCache, I did it, now
it works much better.
