Ehcache TimeToLiveSecond and TimeToIdleSeconds

[Ganesh Shirsat]

Hi,

1.What is the meaning of TimeToLiveSecond and TimeToIdleSecond.?
2. is they are removed, object from cache?

I tried one example.
TimeToLive = 1200
TimeToIdle = 15

I load the two object in cache first time.

i access the object after 30 second .
before accessing the object. I print the statistics of Cache and it was still show me a two object in cache.
but when i was actually access the object it was fetch from database instead of cache.

that's mean object are expired but they are still in cache still we access the object again or memory is overflow.

is the above paragraph right?

Thanks ,

I think we should not use it together. May be this is of some help : https://jira.terracotta.org/jira/browse/FORGE-270

timeToLiveSecond is the time in seconds from the point of creation in the cache till it expires (regardless of how frequently it is accessed in that time)

timeToIdleSeconds is the time in seconds before an object in the cache expires if it is not accessed.
