Package org.mmbase.cache Description

The goal of this package is to centralize the MMBase caches. Every cache extends the abstract 'Cache' class, which also contains the static methods to obtain a list of al caches.

All caches which are based on the Cache class can also be configured (activity, size) by <config>/caches.xml.
