A system and method for managing cacheable sets of objects having explicit lifetime specifications, wherein a time-based cache manager maintains and updates one or more sets of objects stored in the cache. A cached set of objects comprises objects having start times and/or end times representing, respectively, times at which such objects become valid and expire. An update time is determined for a given cached set of objects based, in part, on the start times and end times of objects comprising the cached set of objects. When a request for the retrieval of an object from the given cached set of objects (or the entire cached set) is received, a determination is made if the cached set of objects is valid at the time of the request based on the update time. If the cached set of objects is not valid because, e.g., the update time has elapsed, the cached set of objects is updated (and any other cached sets, if necessary) by deleting and/or adding objects to the cached set of objects having start times and end times that meet predefined time criteria for inclusion in the cached set of objects.
