- Method Detail
  - getKey
```
public java.lang.Object[] getKey()
```
    Returns the invalidation key array.
    Please note that the amount of key elements used for invalidation depends upon the number returned by getTopicDepth()! This is mainly because we re-use complete AbstractCacheUnit keys for invalidation instead of creating new arrays all the time.

    getTopicDepth()
  - getTopicDepth
```
public int getTopicDepth()
```
    Returns the number of key elements to be used for invalidation. Consequently this method returns either the full key array length or a lower number. All key elements that exceed this number are simply ignored during invalidation process.
