2.6.10 The effect of updates to the cachespec.xml file
Modify the cachespec.xml at any time and the caching service responds to changes in the cachespec.xml file without the need for a server restart.
When new versions of the file are detected, the old policies are replaced. Objects cached through the old policy file are not automatically invalidated from the cache; they are either reused with the new policy or eliminated from the cache through the replacement algorithm.
If you are caching static content and you are adding the cache policy to an application for the first time, restart the application. You do not need to restart the application server to activate the new cache policy.
