        ///    const Poco::Timespan& getTimeout() const;

        /// method to values that do not have a getExpiration function.

        /// Be careful when using an UniqueAccessExpireCache. A cache is often used

        /// the entry gets invalid, thus leading to an empty SharedPtr being returned 
        /// when "get" is invoked.
