I have created and Active Monitor class that would help us minimize the number
of accesses to the webapp resources. Using the FileResource, we can register
and class (i.e. the cache, etc.) with a PropertyChangeListener. That listener
will recieve messages who's name is the same as the resource being monitored.
This effectively eliminates our need to call ${file}.lastModified() directly from
our code. Each resource in the collection of resources is tested on a frequency
you specify (i.e. 1/minute, 1/half-hour, etc.). That way during extreme load
conditions the number of times we call the "lastModified" method doesn't change.
Instead of 1/request (with 200 simultaneous users requesting 4 pages a second
that comes to 800 calls a second) it is once per period of time. Even at one
second, you have called "lastModified" 1/800th of the time using the afforementioned
example. It defaults to once per minute which is 1/24000th of the time (that
is 2400000% decrease in calls.
The Monitor class is in Excalibur's scratchpad section--awaiting the soon inclusion
in the main excalibur jar.
