Sets the cache properties for the object cache, the page cache, or both. If a cache does not yet exist, creates it. The cache and properties are application-specific.

Returns

Nothing

History

ColdFusion 10: Added the parameter region.

ColdFusion 9: Added the function.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

propsStruct

A structure specifying the cache properties plus identifying information

region

(Optional) The name of the cache region

The propsStruct structure can have any or all of the following fields:

Structure element

Default

Description

diskPersistent

False

A Boolean value specifying whether to persist caches stored on disk through JVM restarts.

diskStore

 

The disk store. The disk store provides a spooling facility that can be used for additional storage during cache operation. The disk store can also be used for cache persistence.

If one or more caches requires a disk store, but there isn't any disk store configured, a default directory is used.

To disable creation of a disk store path, comment out the diskStore element in ehcache.xml, located in <ColdFusion home>/cfusion/lib.

<diskStore path="java.io.tmpdir"/>

eternal

False

A Boolean value specifying whether no timeout or  idletime  applies. A true value indicates that the object or page is cached without any timespan being specified.

maxElementsOnDisk

10000000

The maximum number of objects that can be stored on disk if  overfllowtodisk  is true.

maxEntriesLocalHeap

 

The maximum number of objects that can be cached in memory. If the number is exceeded and  overflowtodisk  is false, the new objects entered replace old elements using algorithm specified in the memoryevictionpolicy entry.

memoryEvictionPolicy

LRU

The algorithm used to evict old entries when the maximum limit is reached. The algorithms used are:

  • LRU (Least Recently Used)
  • LFU (Least Frequently Used) 

objectType

 

Object

The type of cache: one of the following:

  • template - Set properties for the page cache, which contains cached pages and page segments.
  • object - Set properties for the object cache.
  • all - Set properties for both cache types.

overflowToDisk

False A Boolean value specifying whether when the maximum number of elements allowed in memory is reached, objects can be moved to disk, as determined by the  memoryevictionpolicy  value.

statistics

True

true indicates that statistics collection for Ehcache is enabled.

timeToIdleSeconds

86400

The idle time in seconds. Used if a cfcache tag does not specify an idleTime attribute.

timeToLiveSeconds

86400

The timeout time in seconds. Used if a  cfcache  tag does not specify a timespan attribute.

Note:

maxelementsinmemory property name is renamed to maxentrieslocalheap. The reason for this change is that Ehcache has deprecated maxelementsinmemory.

// remove cache region
