Abstract
In an embodiment managing a cache includes determining from metadata of a received service request whether a cache data response may satisfy the request as a function of recognizing a cacheable method name specification within request metadata by a service provider associated with the request, the embodiment further including determining whether the request is an inquiry or a request as a function of comparing an update frequency specification in the request metadata to a value of a time parameter associated with the cacheable method name in the metadata if the request may be satisfied by the cached data. The embodiment also includes searching the cache for the data response if determined the data is cacheable and the request is an inquiry, and sending the request on to a service provider if the data response is not a cacheable response or the request is an update request.
