EhCache
EhCache is an open source caching system that handles application caching.

Configuring EhCache
Application Level Caching
The application level cache, which sits between the view layer and the data access layer, is used by the storefront to cache semi-static store and product data.
The timeouts of a Storefront's application level cache can be configured by modifying the cache's timeToLive and timeToIdle bean properties in ep-storefront\src\main\resources\spring\cache\cache.xml.
By default, application caches will use the properties defined in the Core's ehcache.xml. These may be overridden in the cache`s bean specified in cache.xml. For information on EhCache's configurable properties, see EhCache's Cache Configuration guide.
