Why is it so slow?
Mostly because it generates each source three times.

Note: It gets the page with all the links translated using data gathered on previous step.

We can combine getType and getLinks calls into one, see below.


If it does not scale the way things are now--and I agree generating
the source three times is two times too many--then we may have to
change things a bit more deeply.

For instance, part of the issue resides in the fact that any client
(i.e. CLI environment or Servlet) can only access one view at a time
for any resource.

Why not allow a client to access all views to a resource that it
needs/wants simultaneously?  That will allow things like the all
important profiling information to be appended after HTML pages
are rendered.
I thought of this too. But in practice?...

Cocoon is so entrenched in the single path of execution mentality that
environments that need the extra complexity can't have it.

Each resource should only need to be rendered once, and only
once.  Each view to the resource should be accessible by a client.

FOr instance, the CLI client wants the Link/Mime-Type information
and the content itself.  The Link/Mime-Type information is accessed
via the LinkSamplingEnvironment.  In reality, that is a poor name
for what you are really wanting to represent.  It should be the
LinkSamplingView.  That view caches information that can be incorporated
back into the list of links we are resolving.
Ok, but in practice, how does the client request the view results?
I kinda like this non-blocking view concept, but fail to see clearly the practical implementation.

Another issue I have that is related to link crawling, but not to
the multi-view access.  It is the error page generation.  It is not
*always* an error if a link is not handled by Cocoon.

A common example is the fact that JavaDocs are generated outside of
Cocoon, and the error page that screws up the link to the JavaDocs
is a *bad* thing.
This is not really a CLI error, but the fact that Cocoon (wrongly IMHO) doesn't handle that part of the URI space. We are dealing with this concept in Forrest, where we have seen that complete sub-URI spaces can be dealt with without link crawling, and so it's feasable to have Cocoon serve all those javadocs and not break.

Anyway, there is a way of not making the link be crawled, by setting the xlink attribute.

Perhaps we should allow for known exclusions, or turn off the error
page generation for the missing links--recording them to a file like
we do now.
Yup, should be settable +1
