Cache Resource

Description

The cache resource is used to maintain a cache and link it to the API lifecycle. It means that the cache is initialized when the API is starting and released when API is stopped.

This cache is responsible to store HTTP response from the backend to avoid subsequent calls.

Current implementation of the cache resource is based on Hazelcast.

Configuration

You can configure the resource with the following options :

Property	Required	Description	Type	Default
name	X	The name of the cache.	string	my-cache
timeToIdleSeconds	X	The maximum number of seconds an element can exist in the cache without being accessed. The element expires at this limit and will no longer be returned from the cache. The default value is 0, which means no timeToIdle (TTI) eviction takes place (infinite lifetime).	integer	0
timeToLiveSeconds	X	The maximum number of seconds an element can exist in the cache regardless of use. The element expires at this limit and will no longer be returned from the cache. The default value is 0, which means no timeToLive (TTL) eviction takes place (infinite lifetime).	integer	0
maxEntriesLocalHeap	X	The maximum objects to be held in local heap memory (0 = no limit).	integer	1000

Configuration example

{
    "name" : "cache",
    "type" : "cache",
    "enabled" : true,
    "configuration" : {
        "name": "my-cache",
        "timeToIdleSeconds":0,
        "timeToLiveSeconds":0,
        "maxEntriesLocalHeap":1000
    }
}
