Configuring caching of individual types of items
By default, if embedded caching is enabled on the server, all types of items are cached. In the Storage Layer configuration file, cd_storage_conf.xml, you can override this default and control the caching per item type.
About this task
Depending on your implementation, you may want to exclude certain types of items from caching. For example, if your database contains high-resolution images whose caching would cost huge amounts of memory, you might want to not cache images, or only images of certain file types. You can do this by configuring caching on an item type level.
If caching is enabled (or disabled) in cd_storage_conf.xml for a specific item type, caching must also be enabled (or disabled) for the corresponding cache region (or for all cache regions) in application.properties.
