Entry Cache

The entry cache is an object cache used to hold recently used entry objects. It is analogous to the Content Engine PresentationArticleCache, which is used to hold recently used content items, and like the PresentationArticleCache it can be configured to use the distributed memory cache memcached (see below). If you have configured PresentationArticleCache to use memcached, then you are recommended to do the same for the entry cache.

All requests to both the editorial and presentation web services are served via the entry cache.

For general information about Content Engine object caches, see Tuning The Object Caches. For general information about installing and configuring memcached, see Distributed Memory Cache.

Open /etc/escenic/engine/common/com/escenic/livecenter/LocalLiveEntryCache.properties for editing and set the following properties as required:

maxSize

The maximum number of entries that will be held in the cache. Once this limit is reached, older entries are thrown out of the cache in order to stay below the limit. The default value is 5000.

$class

If memcached is installed and in use for the PresentationArticleCache at your installation, then you are recommended to use for Live Center entries as well. To enable use of memcached, set this property to neo.util.cache.Memcached.
