You use the elements in the cache folder to place data in a cache and retrieve it again later. You can also use the services in the cache folder to perform administrative operations such as enabling, disabling, and clearing a cache, or to implement checkpoint restart in services you write. Integration Server uses Ehcache internally for all of the services in the cache folder. Before using these services, you need to create a cache manager and cache using Integration Server Administrator. For instructions, see the section Understanding Caches and Cache Managers in the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide. Understanding Caches and Cache Managers.
