# XMLEntity Cache --> Session --> General

Tasks Related Topics Attributes

## Overview

You can specify that a managed WebLogic Server cache external entities that are referenced with a URL or a pathname relative to the Administration server, either at server-startup or when the entity is first referenced.

Caching the external entity in the managed WebLogic Server saves the remote access time and provides a local backup in the event that the Administration server cannot be accessed while an XML document is being parsed, due to the network or the Administration server being down.

A set of statistics that describes the external entity cache is available for you to use to monitor the effectiveness of the cache. These statistics describe:

- The current state of the cache.
- The cumulative activity for the current session.
- The cumulative activity since the cache was created, typically when WebLogic Server started.

This tab provides general cumulative information about the external entity cache for the current session.
