Consider this scenario: You want to cache a high-demand page for one minute or until new content is added, whichever is *longer* (updates are frequent, and would defeat the cache). You create a ZCache object such that it will be published at the desired URL, and you place the DTML Document which defines the page inside of it (it can hold exactly one object). You set the ZCache's minimum_time property to 60 seconds and leave maximum_time blank. In the object which adds new content, you call the manage_reset method of the ZCache object. Elsewhere in your site, you have an expensive, frequently called method whose rendering should only change if one of its properties or its content is edited. You put it in a ZCache object, and also edit the ZCache object's default manage_cacheTest method so that it checks and stores the modification timestamp of the cached object. A ZCache would act as a proxy for its contained object, storing the last-rendered text as a volatile value. Simple cache rules could be set via properties, while more complicated rules could be implemented with manage_reset, manage_resetForced, and manage_cacheTest. manage_resetForced would override rules, while manage_reset would respect them. manage_cacheTest would have easy access to volatile storage.
