Kosmos is using EHCache for caching, and by-default the cache is set to be "disk-persistent", so it will save/load its content to disk and will survive the app-server restarts. (It can be easiliy turned off, of course, see ehcache.xml.) anonymous wrote : The problem is when I access the SvnMonitoringPortlet the first time it takes a while to load. Well, it is an expensive operation, so it simply blocks when running it for the first time. Using the scheduler, you can schedule it to run in the background (e.g. at midnight), which can help to achieve a reasonable performance.
