+
+         The following properties are translated:

+        maxElementsInMemory            - Sets the maximum number of objects that will be created in memory
+        eternal                        - Sets whether elements are eternal. If eternal,  timeouts are ignored and the
+                                         element is never expired.
+        overflowToDisk                 - Sets whether elements can overflow to disk when the in-memory cache
+                                         has reached the maxInMemory limit.
+
+        The following attributes are optional:
+        timeToIdleSeconds              - Sets the time to idle for an element before it expires.

+                                         Optional attribute. A value of 0 means that an Element can idle for infinity.
+                                         The default value is 0.
+        timeToLiveSeconds              - Sets the time to live for an element before it expires.
+                                         i.e. The maximum time between creation time and when an element expires.
