Introduction

By default Penrose does not use any caching mechanism, in other words the cache is disabled. All operations coming in will be performed directly against the underlying resources. This ensures that the information viewed inside Penrose directory are in-sync with the real data.

Configuration

To disable cache, edit PENROSE_SERVER_HOME/conf/server.xml:

<handler name="DEFAULT">
  <handler-class>org.safehaus.penrose.handler.DefaultHandler</handler-class>
  <parameter>
    <param-name>cache</param-name>
    <param-value>false</param-value>
  </parameter>
</handler>

Make sure the cache parameter is set to false. If the parameter is not specified, by default the cache is disabled.
