<cfscript>
       //define a cache region struct
       rProps={};
       // define properties for region struct
       rProps.MAXELEMENTSINMEMORY = "5";
       rProps.ETERNAL = "false";
       rProps.TIMETOIDLESECONDS = "100";
       rProps.TIMETOLIVESECONDS = "50";
       rProps.OVERFLOWTODISK = "true";
       rProps.DISKEXPIRYTHREADINTERVALSECONDS = "3600";
       rProps.DISKPERSISTENT = "false";
       rProps.DISKSPOOLBUFFERSIZEMB = "30";
       rProps.MAXELEMENTSONDISK = "10";
       rProps.MEMORYEVICTIONPOLICY = "LRU";
       rProps.CLEARONFLUSH = "true";
       rProps.OBJECTTYPE = "OBJECT";
       // create a cache region, kRegion, that contains the properties defined above
       CacheRegionNew("cRegion",#rProps#,true);
       // display the properties of the newly created cache region
       WriteDump(CacheGetProperties("cRegion"));
       // store an object in the cache cpRegion
       // create object myObj
       myObj={};
       myObj.a="hello";
       myObj.b="world";
       // store myObj in the cache region
CachePut("id_1",myObj,createTimespan(0,0,30,0),createTimespan(0,0,15,0),"cRegion");
       // display the contents of the cache
       Writedump(CacheGet("id_1","cRegion"));
