- Web content cache types
This topic describes the types of caching used by IBM Workplace Web Content Management. - Caching versus pre-rendering
Content displayed in rendering portlets and through IBM Workplace Web Content Management can be cached. An alternative to caching is the use of the pre-rendering feature. This topic outlines the differences between each strategy. - Web content cache configuration
Caching options for IBM Workplace Web Content Management are defined in the WCMConfigService.properties file. - Data cache configuration
Data caching is used to cache data retrieved by the IBM Workplace Web Content Management application from external sources using connect tags or by requests made through URLs. The following default data caching settings can be set in the WCMConfigService.properties file. - Expiring strategies
Like caching strategies, a server's default expiring strategies can be set in WCMConfigService.properties. Custom expiring parameters can also be set in connect tags and URL requests to override a server's default expiring strategies.
