You can specify that a managed WebLogic Server cache external entities that are referenced with a URL or a pathname relative to the Administration server, either at server-startup or when the entity is first referenced.

Caching the external entity in the managed WebLogic Server saves the remote access time and provides a local backup in the event that the Administration server cannot be accessed while an XML document is being parsed, due to the network or the Administration server being down.

A set of statistics that describes the external entity cache is available for you to use to monitor the effectiveness of the cache. These statistics describe:

This tab provides general cumulative information about the external entity cache for the current session.

Attribute Label	Description	Value Constraints
Total Current Entries	The total current number of entries in the entity cache. MBean: weblogic.management. runtime. EntityCacheCumulativeRuntimeMBean Attribute: TotalCurrentEntries	Default: 0 Readable: yes
Total Persistent Current Entries	The total current number of entries in the cache that have been persisted to disk. MBean: weblogic.management. runtime. EntityCacheCumulativeRuntimeMBean Attribute: TotalPersistentCurrentEntries	Default: 0 Readable: yes
Avg Percent Persistent	Returns current average percentage of entries in the entity cache that have been persisted to the disk cache. MBean: weblogic.management. runtime. EntityCacheCumulativeRuntimeMBean Attribute: AvgPercentPersistent	Readable: yes
Total Transient Current Entries	The total current number of transient entries in the entity cache. MBean: weblogic.management. runtime. EntityCacheCumulativeRuntimeMBean Attribute: TotalTransientCurrentEntries	Default: 0 Readable: yes
Avg Percent Transient	Returns current average percentage of entries in the entity cache that are transient, or have not been persisted. MBean: weblogic.management. runtime. EntityCacheCumulativeRuntimeMBean Attribute: AvgPercentTransient	Readable: yes
Min Entry Timeout	The smallest timeout value for any current entry in the entity cache. MBean: weblogic.management. runtime. EntityCacheCumulativeRuntimeMBean Attribute: MinEntryTimeout	Readable: yes
Max Entry Timeout	The largest timeout value for any current entry in the entity cache. MBean: weblogic.management. runtime. EntityCacheCumulativeRuntimeMBean Attribute: MaxEntryTimeout	Readable: yes
