[edit] <cache>

The <cache> tag in the <server> block enables and configures the proxy cache. If the <cache> tag is missing, then caching is disabled.

Attribute	Description	default
path	Location of the cache file	cache/cache.db
enable	True if the cache is enabled	true
enable-range	True if the cache should support HTTP Range requests	true
entries	Number of LRU entries in the cache	8192
memory-size	How much memory to allocate to memory buffers	8M
max-entry-size	Largest page size to be cached	1M
disk-size	The maximum size of the cache	2G

The sizes use the Bytes Configuration syntax for the sizes.

[edit] <cache-mapping>

<cache-mapping> sets the Expires or Cache-Control: max-age headers on a cacheable page. Non-cacheable pages or pages with Expires headers or Cache-Control: max-age are not affected.

A cacheable page is a page with an Last-Modified or an ETag header. Resin's FileServlet, for example, sets both headers but does not set an Expires tag.

In other words, a JSP page or servlet that does not set any headers will not be affected by <cache-mapping> (since Resin doesn't consider it cacheable.)

<cache-mapping> uses the Period Configuration for its expire time.
