isCacheEnabled

public java.lang.Boolean isCacheEnabled()

Specifies whether the Output service caches a form to boost performance. A form design is cached the first time it is used to generate a document output stream. The next time that the form design is used to generate a document output stream, the Output service determines if the cached form design is newer than the non-cached form design by comparing timestamps. If the cached form design is newer, then it is retrieved from the cache. This option only works in conjunction with the form design's caching property. For information, see Adobe Experience Manager forms Designer Help.

Returns:

A Boolean value that specifies whether a form is cached. The value true means that the form is cached.

See Also:

setCacheEnabled()

getCacheEnabled

public java.lang.Boolean getCacheEnabled()

Specifies whether the Output service caches a form to boost performance. A form design is cached the first time it is used to generate a document output stream. The next time that the form design is used to generate a document output stream, the Output service determines if the cached form design is newer than the non-cached form design by comparing timestamps. If the cached form design is newer, then it is retrieved from the cache. This option only works in conjunction with the form design's caching property. For information, see Adobe Experience Manager forms Designer Help.

Returns:

A Boolean value that specifies whether a form is cached. The value true means that the form is cached.

See Also:

setCacheEnabled()

setCacheEnabled

public void setCacheEnabled(java.lang.Boolean cacheEnabled)

Instructs the Output service to cache a form design in order to improve performance. A form design is cached the first time it is used to generate a document output stream. The next time that the form design is used to generate a document output stream, the Output service determines if the cached form design is newer than the non-cached form design by comparing timestamps. If the cached form design is newer, then it is retrieved from the cache. This option only works in conjunction with the form design's caching property. For information, see Adobe Experience Manager forms Designer Help.

Parameters:

cacheEnabled - A Boolean value that specifies whether to cache a form. The value true means that a form is cached.

It is intended for use by tools that perform the following types of operations:

• Simple extraction of text and graphics for pasting into other applications.
• Automatic reflow of text and associated graphics to fit a page of a different size than was assumed for the original layout.
• Processing text for such purposes as searching, indexing, and spell-checking.
• Conversion to other common file formats (such as HTML, XML, and RTF) with document structure and basic styling information preserved.
• Making content accessible to users with visual impairments.
