The cache-config element is the root element of the cache configuration descriptor.
At a high level a cache configuration consists of cache schemes and cache scheme mappings. Cache schemes describe a type of cache, for instance a database backed, distributed cache. Cache mappings define what scheme to use for a given cache name.
The following table describes the elements you can define within the cache-config element.
| Element | Required/Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <caching-scheme-mapping> | Required | Specifies the cacheing-scheme that will be used for caches, based on the cache's name. |
| <caching-schemes> | Required | Defines the available caching-schemes for use in the cluster. |
