External cache group collection

Use this page to define sets of external caches that are controlled by WebSphere Application Server on web servers such as IBM Edge Server and IBM HTTP Server.

From the admin console, click...

        Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server > Container services > Dynamic cache service > External cache groups.

Name

External cache group name.

The external cache group name needs to match the ExternalCache property as defined in the servlet or JSP file cachespec.xml file.

When external caching is enabled, the cache matches pages with its Universal Resource Identifiers (URI) and pushes matching pages to the external cache. The entries can then be served from the external cache, instead of from the application server.

Type

External cache group type.

Configure cacheable objects with the cachespec.xml file
