 * The static cache stores all the validators that are created as part of setting up and starting routes.
 * The static cache has no upper limit.
 * 
 * The dynamic cache stores the validators that are created and used ad-hoc, such as from custom Java code that creates new validators etc.
 * The dynamic cache has an upper limit, that by default is 1000 entries.
