Using the dynamic cache service

Use the dynamic cache service to improve application performance by caching the output of servlets, Web services, and WebSphere® Application Server commands into memory.

Before you begin

Develop a cache policy for your application. The cache policy defines rules for what responses to cache and the amount of time the responses should be held in the cache. Refer to the Configuring cacheable objects with the cachespec.xml file article for more information.

About this task

The dynamic cache service is enabled by default. You can configure the default cache instance, as follows:

Procedure

  1. Click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere® application servers > server_name > Container services > Dynamic cache service.
  2. Configure the default cache instance or follow the links to enable servlet or portlet caching. Refer to the Dynamic cache service settings article for more information about default cache settings.

What to do next

You might want to enable dynamic cache disk offload. This option moves cache entries that are expired from memory to disk for potential future access. Refer to the Configuring dynamic cache disk offload for more information about enabling disk offload.
