1. The first way is through Java POJO where all configuration parameters are configured through Ehcache API.
2. The second way is configuration through XML file where we can configure Ehcache according to provided schema definition.

What is Ehcache and how it should be implemented?

How do I clear my Ehcache cache?

ehcache. CacheManager which provide a clearAll() operation. And then connect to the java process using jconsole and use Mbean method invocation – to clear the second level cache!

To run the test suite for Ehcache:

1. Check the source out from the subversion repository.
2. Ensure you have a valid JDK and Maven 2 installation.
3. From within the ehcache/core directory, type mvn test.
4. If some performance tests fail, add a -D net. sf. ehcache.

Is Ehcache off-heap?

For performance reasons, Ehcache should always use as much heap memory as possible without triggering GC pauses. Use BigMemory (the off-heap store) to hold the data that cannot fit in heap without causing GC pauses.

What is defaultcache in Ehcache?

The defaultCache has an implicit name “default” which is a reserved cache name. The attribute tells the Ehcache that how many caches would be stored in the memory. If the total caches reached the limit, then the caches will be pushed to the disk if the configurations set as overflowToDisk=true.

What does overflowtodisk=true do in Ehcache?

The attribute tells the Ehcache that how many caches would be stored in the memory. If the total caches reached the limit, then the caches will be pushed to the disk if the configurations set as overflowToDisk=true. If this attribute set as false, old caches will be evicted and new caches will be replace the old one.

What is maxmaxelementsinmemory in Ehcache?

maxElementsInMemory. The attribute tells the Ehcache that how many caches would be stored in the memory. If the total caches reached the limit, then the caches will be pushed to the disk if the configurations set as overflowToDisk=true. If this attribute set as false, old caches will be evicted and new caches will be replace the old one.

What patterns does ehehcache support?

Ehcache supports the following patterns: cache-as-sor (a combination of read-through and write-through or write-behind patterns) Here, application code uses the cache directly.
