Activating the browser cache in the Java CEF implementation

[sebf]

Hello,

I use the Java wrapper of CEF (jcef_binary_3.1750.1738.91_windows64).
In this context I am wondering how to activate the browser cache.

• I know that for the native version, the CEF client sample supports a "--cache-path" switch allowing to activate and define the directory to be used for web resources caching purpose, but i am struggling to figure out the corresponding API for the Java wrapper.
• I tried to use something like CefApp.getInstance(new String[]{"--cache-path=c:\\temp\\jcefcache"}); (and also with a single dash). But it seemingly does not work.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers

Hi Seb,

Please have a look at MainFrame.java under bin/tests/detailed in your downloaded JCEF directory.

Hi Nicolae,

Thanks for your prompt answer.

Please apologize me if i am wrong but the only thing that somehow relates to persistent data in the file you mentioned is what the sample calls the cookie-path used by the CefCookieManager.
By cache, i was more referring to a file-based persistent storage that would allow the web resources to be persisted across different sessions of an application based on JCEF.

Am I missing something here?

Cheers

Hi Seb,

Sorry, seems like I did not understand fully to start with.

I see exactly what you mean now, and I also don't know how to achieve it, but would like to do so. I was looking around for an answer but can't find it?

You can set CefSettings.cache_path in the JCEF native code here and I've filed https://code.google.com/p/javachromiume ... ail?id=127.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot Marshall. Having digged a little bit in the source code of both the Java version and the native version, this was indeed my comprehension of the issue.
