my ideal cache using guava

Answer 1

I don't understand the full picture here, but two things.

1. Given this statement: "this implementation will evict objects even if they are strongly reachable, once their time is up. This could result in multiple objects with the same UID floating around in the environment, which I don't want." -- it sounds like you just need to use weakKeys() and NOT use either timed or size-based eviction.

2. Or if you do want to bring an "interner" into this, I'd use a real Interners.newWeakInterner.
