cache.xml

cache.xml

Use the cache.xml file to set up general cache facilities and behavior and to create and initialize cached data regions. These sections document cache.xml requirements; provide hierarchical diagrams of <cache> and <client-cache> elements; and describe the function of each element.

Note: You can configure most elements of the cache.xml file and apply it to your entire cluster by using the gfsh and cluster configuration service. See gfsh Limitations for a list of items you cannot configure in gfsh and must still configure in cache.xml.
