I updated the ColdBox docs api to include ColdBox cache metadata information. It was an easy addition and a great one. Now you can use this to actually document your handlers if you wanted and get the extra ColdBox metadata javadocs style. Below you can see a screenshot. docs cache The project used is CFCDoc and can be found at http://cfcdoc.riaforge.org/. To do the metadata update if you use this great project, you will need to open the doctemplate.cfm found in the templates folder. Look for the following line of code: Then you can do your additions like so:
#stComponent.attributes.hint#
Cache: #stComponent.attributes.cache#
Cache Timeout: #stComponent.attributes.cacheTimeout#

 


This works great and you can create your own icons for caching if needed or not. Simple but useful.
