Insufficient free space available after evicting expired cache entries. cacheMaxSize = same warning

Jump to solution

/var/log/alfresco/catalina.out:

23-Jun-2021 13:31:49.462 WARNING [main] org.apache.catalina.webresources.Cache.getResources Unable to add the resource at [/WEB-INF/classes/org/springframework/extensions/surf/application/] to the cache for web application [{1}] because there was insufficient free space available after evicting expired cache entries - consider increasing the maximum size of the cache

This *.Cache.getResources WARNING appears to be a common message found in catalina.out logs post-upgrade.

 

The Recommended solution I've read is to add "Resources cacheMaxSide" into /etc/opt/alfresco/tomcat/conf/context.xml
so it looks something like this:

<Context>
	<Resources cacheMaxSize="51200" cachingAllowed="true"/>

	<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
	<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/tomcat-web.xml</WatchedResource>
	<WatchedResource>${catalina.base}/conf/web.xml</WatchedResource>
</Context>

THIS DOES NOTHING FOR ME.  I've even tried:

	<Resources cachingAllowed="false"/>

Is there another solution maybe?

Figured out a solution that works for me!
I had to specify the cacheMaxSize inside the share.xml.

See "AFTER":

 

BEFORE: /etc/opt/alfresco/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/share.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Context crossContext="true" docBase="/opt/alfresco/content-services-7.0.0/web-server/webapps/share.war">
  <Resources>
<PostResources base="/opt/alfresco/modules/acs-share"
                   className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet"
                   webAppMount="/WEB-INF/lib"/>
  </Resources>
</Context>

 

AFTER:  /etc/opt/alfresco/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/share.xml

Hi!

Are you using tomcat 8? Check this.

Looks a strange behaviour if you disable it and the errors still appears in your logs.

Could you please try to increase the value to:

<Resources cachingAllowed="true" cacheMaxSize="300000" />

 Restart Alfresco and let us know what do you have in your logs.

Cheers.

Not TC8, the zip install of Community 7.0 via Ansible appears to install TOMCAT9

Set 

 cacheMaxSize="300000"

NO CHANGE.
  I even tried bumping it up to 600000 with the same result after a restart.  It appears as though it's cacheMaxSize is being set or limited elsewhere.

I had to specify the cacheMaxSize inside the share.xml.

For completeness, as a docker-compose user, the file to be modified inside the share container is:

/usr/local/tomcat/conf/context.xml

I used the following Dockerfile to add the customised file:

FROM alfresco/alfresco-share:7.1.0.1

ARG TOMCAT_DIR=/usr/local/tomcat

COPY assets/context.xml ${TOMCAT_DIR}/conf/

Where my context.xml file had the following Resources attribute configured.

<!-- Increase static resource cache size to 50MB to prevent Tomcat cache warnings at startup -->
<Resources cacheMaxSize="51200" />

@Riddell  You can modify the existing conext file so you don't have to override it by copying a context file.

 

#Disable resource caching
RUN sed -i "s|<Context>|<Context>\n<Resources cachingAllowed=\"false\"/> |g" $TOMCAT_DIR/conf/context.xml ;

or

#Increase resource caching size
RUN sed -i "s|<Context>|<Context>\n<Resources cacheMaxSize=\"51200\"/> |g" $TOMCAT_DIR/conf/context.xml ;
