hi everyone!


from pubs/default/sitemap.xmap:

<map:select type="resource-exists">
  <!-- Read from cache -->
<!-- If configured within Apache then mod_lenya will nevertheless read from cache -->
  <map:when
test="context:/lenya/pubs/{page-envelope:publication-id}/{global:cache-dir}/{../../1}/{../../2}.htmlDISABLED">
    <map:read
src="context:/lenya/pubs/{page-envelope:publication-id}/{global:cache-dir}/{../../1}/{../../2}.html"
    mime-type="text-html"
    />
  </map:when>

gives rise to a number of questions:

a) what is mod_lenya?

have you read the README?

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lenya/sandbox/mod_lenya/README.txt

especially section 3, but I guess a dedicated "About" section would help

yeah, thanks, thorsten pointed that out. i think i'll add some comments to the sitemap...

b) why do we code our own caching mechanism rather than relying on ehcache?

static "export" is the most stable and most simple reusable cache that I know ;-)

:)

c) why is this lenya-specific caching mechanism disabled?


because it requires invalidating the cache and IIRC correctly the coupling to
the publishing process has not been finished, but people rather coupled it
to some shell scripts when syncing with some other servers, but I might be wrong
on this

i see. well, i see the point now, but at the same time, i don't like to have dead or untested code in something as exposed as the default sitemap (all lenya newbies will have to read and understand that one, and the simpler it is, the better).

depending on the answers to a) through c), there's question

d) can we just chuck this out?

with the current performance issues I would rather leave it as a very reliable alternative.

hmm. i would agree in general, but i haven't had any problems with live site performance. anyone? mod_cache should be able to deal with that. and i don't see how this could have the potential to speed up the authoring interface, which is what most people are complaining about iiuc.


for now, i would like to comment out all cache-related stuff in the sitemap (not just doctor the match pattern) and add all the information people have provided in this thread as comments. wdyt?
