is returned the new Cache.Entry is considered to be already expired and will not be added to the Cache.Should an exception occur while determining the Duration, an implementation specific default
Duration
will be used.- Returns:
- the new
Duration

-
getExpiryForAccess

will result in no change to the previously understood expiryDuration
.Should an exception occur while determining the Duration, an implementation specific default Duration will be used.
