The Arbortext PE Request Manager calls the init method when it initializes. It takes an E3RequestContext object (described in Arbortext Publishing Engine Request Context Object) and a com.arbortext.e3cf.E3CacheManagerDescriptor as parameters.

The init method performs initialization for the cache manager object. If a cache manager can't initialize, it should throw an exception (using the class com.arbortext.e3.E3RequestException) with an error message explaining the circumstances causing the error.

The init method runs before the Subprocesos de Arbortext PE start, so it can't retrieve data from an Subproceso de Arbortext PE to cache. To retrieve and cache data from an Subproceso de Arbortext PE, you need to develop and load an Subproceso de Arbortext PE Initializer (explained in Writing a Custom Initializer).
