v5.0 sp1

setCachingDisabled

void setCachingDisabled(boolean state)

Disable caching for this cache manager. This was initially added to allow WebFacing to disable caching during WebFacing conversion. The user can configure enabling / disabling the cache via the caching preferences page so you should only override the user's preference in special circumstances. The caller should restore the caching state after the override is no longer required.. For example WebFacing overrides this only during conversion because of the large amounts of data retrieved from the remote system that will never be used from the cache.
