public class Cache
extends OutputFamily

The <o:cache> component allows to cache a fragment of rendered markup. The first request for a page that has this component on it will cause this markup to be put into the cache. Then for subsequent requests the cached content is used directly and none of the components, backing beans and services that were used to generate this content in the first place will be consulted.

Caching can take place in application scope, or in session scope. For individual fragments a time can be specified for which the cached content is valid. After this time is elapsed, the very first request to the page containing the cache component in question will cause new content to be rendered and put into the cache. A default time can be set per scope in web.xml.

For each scope a maximum capacity can be set. If the capacity for that scope is exceeded, an element will be removed following a least recently used policy (LRU).

Via a cache provider mechanism an alternative cache implementation can be configured in web.xml. The default cache is based on http://code.google.com/p/concurrentlinkedhashmap.

Setting a custom caching provider

A custom caching provider can be set by using the org.omnifaces.CACHE_PROVIDER context parameter in web.xml to point to an implementation of org.omnifaces.component.output.cache.CacheProvider. For example:

 <context-param>
     <param-name>org.omnifaces.CACHE_PROVIDER</param-name>
     <param-value>com.example.MyProvider</param-value>
 </context-param>
 

The default provider, org.omnifaces.component.output.cache.DefaultCacheProvider can be used as an example.

Global settings

For the default provider, the maximum capacity and the default time to live can be specified for the supported scopes "session" and "application". If the maximum capacity is reached, an entry will be evicted following a least recently used policy. The default time to live specifies for how long entries are considered to be valid. A value for the time attribute on this component will override this global default time to live. The following context parameters can be used in web.xml:

org.omnifaces.CACHE_SETTING_APPLICATION_MAX_CAPACITY	Sets the maximum number of elements that will be stored per web module (application scope). Default: no limit
org.omnifaces.CACHE_SETTING_SESSION_MAX_CAPACITY	Sets the maximum number of elements that will be stored per session. Default: no limit.
org.omnifaces.CACHE_SETTING_APPLICATION_TTL	Sets the maximum amount of time in seconds that cached content is valid for the application scope. Can be overriden by individal cache components. Default: no limit.
org.omnifaces.CACHE_SETTING_SESSION_TTL	Sets the maximum amount of time in seconds that cached content is valid for the session scope. Can be overriden by individal cache components. Default: no limit.
org.omnifaces.CACHE_INSTALL_BUFFER_FILTER	Boolean that when true installs a Servlet Filter (Servlet 3.0+ only) that works in conjunction with the useBuffer attribute of the Cache component to enable an alternative way to grab the content that needs to be cached. This is a convenience setting that is a short-cut for installing the org.omnifaces.servlet.BufferedHttpServletResponse filter manually. If more finegrained control is needed regarding which place in the filter chain the filter appears and which resources it exactly filters, this setting should not be used and the mentioned filter should be manually configured. Default: false.
