```
public interface Level2Cache
extends Serializable
```
Interface for any Level 2 Cache used internally. Provides the typical controls required internally and including the JDO/JPA/Jakarta L2 cache methods. JDO/JPA/Jakarta allow the use of a level 2 (L2) cache, with the cache shared between PersistenceManagers/EntityManagers. The objects in the level 2 cache don't pertain to any one manager.
The L2 cache stores an object of type org.datanucleus.cache.CachedPC and is keyed by the identity of the object. The CachedPC contains the values of fields of a persistable object, together with the indicators for which fields are loaded. The relation field values do not store actual objects; they store the identities of the related objects. For example if an object X has a 1-1 relation with another persistable object Y then in the relation field values for X for that field we store the identity of Y. Similarly if the field is a Collection, then the relation field values will be a Collection of identities of the related objects. This provides isolation of each object in the L2 cache (so objects aren't storing references to other objects and so allowing garbage collection etc).

Objects are stored in the L2 cache in the following situations
- An object is retrieved (from the datastore) within a transaction, and it is stored in the L2 cache if no object with that identity already exists there.
- At commit() of the transaction any object that has been modified during that transaction will be stored/updated in the L2 cache if its persistable object is still in memory in the PM/EM (could have been garbage collected since flushing)
Each class can be configured to be cacheable or not. The default for a persistable class is to be cacheable. Configuration is performed via annotations or XML metadata. If a class is not cacheable then objects of that type aren't stored in the L2 cache.
