Cache ORM magic finders and Models with Getters and Setters

Hi,

I've got my models setup with getters and setters, e.g.

<?php

  namespace Common\Coopunity\Models;

  use Phalcon\Mvc\Model;

  {

       */
      protected $id;

      /**
       * @var string
       */
      protected $name;

      /**
       * @var string
       */
      protected $permalink;

      /**

                  }
              }
          }
      }
  }

How can I cache this, I have my modelCache setup using Redis, In volt, I access the vars using the getters of the model.

Thanks in advance
