As I say, it looks to me as if the file-backed cacheing client caches the body of the document in the filesystem but relies on an in-memory store for the metadata.

Discarding the web service parts and just doing everything with ItemCollectionLibrary would probably be sufficient as a quick hack. If you have someone who can do basic Spring Boot style apps, you could make it a lot simpler than that, though.</div><div class="">
