Java Object Cache?

Hello,

who implemented the use of the Java Object Cache? I would want to
know whats a useful value for the cached objects, current setting
of 500 could be higher ... what does this cache do other than keeping a
ref to the objects (what could be done using a hashtable)??

thanks, bback.
