The JMX Object "Catalina:type=Cache,host=localhost,path=/appPath" exposes several methods which interact with the cache. A useful addition would be a mechanism to entirely empty the cache.
Created attachment 26421 [details] The patch exposes the "removeCache" method to JMX object. By making the method public, we are able to invoke from java console mangement to clear the cache entry.
This has been fixed in 8.0.x for 8.0.15 omwards. I do not intend to back-port the feature.
