## 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 life of the current WebLogic Server instance.
