The variables that DotKernel cache are below:

Router

Router is the object that load routes (modules, controllers, actions) settings from router.xml file. More info about router: http://www.dotkernel.com/docs/router-xml/

The router is cached as router.

Auth / ACL Role

The object which authorizes user methods (aka Dot_Auth), used in all DotKernel Applications, Dot_Auth uses /configs/acl/role.xml to define the users rights.

The role.xml file is cached as acl_role.

Menu

The menu.xml from current module(what is a module?)
More about menu.xml : http://www.dotkernel.com/docs/menu-xml/

The menu is cached as admin_menu, frontend_menu.

Options

The options are the ones found in /configs/dots/ and have the following naming format: option_MODULE_CONTROLLER.

MODULE is the current module and CONTROLLER is the current controller or “seo”, so the options cache entries will look like:

• option_admin_Admin
• option_frontend_Page
• option_admin_seo (yes, seo is lowercase)

Browser & OS

The browser.xml and os.xml are used to identify the Browser and OS name, icon, and type. Theese XML files are located in /configs/useragent/.

Browser & OS are cached as browser_xml and os_xml.

Note: Be careful when changing the xml files / values to be cached as they remain cached. If there is no effect that means you must clear the cache or rewrite that value in cache.
