Dear Cocoon Gods,

FYI, I have been working to complete "cachingpoint" (CP) pipelines so
that auto CP (ACP) is fully functional (and capable of supporting
manual cachingpoint).

Changes include:
1. Cachingpoint pipeplines implement configurable. So
its now possible to switch between cachingpoint policies easly.

<map:pipeline name="cachingpoint" src="...impl.CachingPointProcessingPipeline">
  <cachingpoint-policy>...AutoCachingPointStrategy</cachingpoint-policy>
  <!-- cachingpoint-policy>...ManualCachingPointStrategy</cachingpoint-policy -->
</map:pipeline>

2. Introduced a new TreeProcessor Node called
SimpleLeafProcessingNode.java (as opposed to SimpleParentProcessingNode).

SimpleLeafProcessingNode groups the common cocoon-views behavior at higher
level and makes it easier support manaul cachepoints etc.

Thoughts, comments ? :-P

THOUGHTS ON MANUAL CACHINGPOINTs (MCPs).

Does it make sense to have a MCP on anything other than "Leaf" Nodes?
That is, Nodes which dont subclass SimpleParentProcessingNode?
As with cocoon-views, I would say the answer is *no*..
ParentProcessingNodes are not candidates for MCP's)

The current cachingpoint behavior flags a cachingpoint whenever a
"leaf" node is indicated to have one or more "views". So in effect,
we already have a mechansim for manual cachingpoint (well close,
you still need to have a view defined).

I was thinking that one possibility is to extend this "views" behavior
so you can have something like the following:

  <map:transform src="../simple-samples2html.xsl" label="cachingpoint"/>

Where in effect, you manually label a pipeline component as being a
cachingpoint.  In this case, "cachingpoint" is not a view but a
"resevered" word to indicate that this component is a manual cachingpoint.

After this fashion, you can also label components as manual "cachingpoints"
within the <components> section of the sitemap.xmap (as with cocoon-views)

(alternatively you can seperate the concerns by having something like
  <map:transform src="../simple-samples2html.xsl" cachingpoint="true"/>)

Any thoughts on this?

Best Regards,
Michael Melhem
