Cache Clearing

lshein
 

I have all the cache.properties set to never expire (commented out), however
it seems after I have built up cache at some point the cache is cleared.  I
have noticed it consistently clears the next day (about a 10 hour window)
even if there are no users on the site.

 

Does anyone have any experience with the cache and what are the causes for
it to be cleared?

 

 

 

Thank You

I never noticed that, a good way to share would be to check on trunk demo

RE: Cache Clearing

I ran some further tests and found the following:
Where 'entity' cache is concerned commenting out (cache.properties) the
entries (or no entries at all); the system will 'clear' the cache out at a
certain point, I am assuming when GC is run.  

If a specific entity is defined to have no expire time and 'false' to use
soft reference then the built up cache is NOT cleared and built up cache
remains.

In summary the best approach to cache would be to specifically define the
entities in the cache properties file as 'expire time = 0', 'soft reference
= false' for the main entities used in rendering a site.

In my testing I set the cache.properties for the following entities, all
other entries were commented out:
Note: There is a comment in the property file stating (for better
performance cache lines should be commented out)?

# Examples for per-delegator Entity Engine cache settings

entitycache.entity-list.default.ProductAssoc.useSoftReference=false

I did not look into all details of cache implementation.
But it seems to me that, if nothing is defined, the default values (defined in UtilCache class) are used

They are:
expireTimeNanos = 0;
useSoftReference = false;
sizeLimit = 0;
etc.
