This chapter describes how to monitor XML entity caches configured in the current domain
You can specify that WebLogic Server cache external entities that are referenced with a URL or a pathname relative to the main directory of the EAR archive, either at server startup or when the entity is first referenced. You specify this by first creating an XML entity cache and then specifying for the particular entity when it should be cached.
Caching the external entity 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.
This chapter includes the following sections:
To monitor all XML entity caches configured in the current domain:
From the WebLogic Domain dropdown menu, select Other Services, then select XML Entity Caches.
The XML Entity Caches table displays information about the XML entity caches that have been configured in the current domain, such as:
Name
Cache Location
Cache Memory Size
Cache Disk Size
Cache Timeout Interval
For more information about these fields, see Configuration Options.
Optionally, select View to access the following table options:
Columns: add or remove the columns displayed in the table
Detach: detach the table (viewing option)
Sort: sort the columns in ascending or descending order
Reorder: change the order of the columns displayed
Query by Example
In the table, select the name of the XML entity cache for which you want to view configuration information.
For each XML entity cache, you can monitor a set of statistics that describes how the cache is being used and its effectiveness.
To monitor a specific XML entity cache:
From the WebLogic Domain dropdown menu, select Other Services, then select XML Entity Caches.
In the XML Entity Caches table, select the name of the XML entity cache you want to monitor.
Select the Current page to view information about the current state of this XML entity cache, such as:
