You can use the <load-items> tag in a repository definition file to load specified repository items on application startup. For example, you could load three items of the users type with this tag:

<load-items item-descriptor="users">john,paul,ringo</load-items>

The PCDATA for this element is a comma-delimited list of repository IDs that should be pre-cache during start-up of the repository. The properties attribute, which is optional, specifies a list of property names to cache. For example, the following caches the displayName and description properties of four product items:

<load-items item-descriptor="product">
            properties="displayName,description">
               prod10001,prod100001,prod100002,prod100003
</load-items>
