[perf] cache unique ids generated by facelets
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: MYFACES-3487
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3487
             Project: MyFaces Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JSR-314
            Reporter: Leonardo Uribe

It could be good to cache unique ids and reduce the impact in memory such 
generation has in memory. It is possible to cache:

1. The generated unique ids at level 0 per view. If the view is not dinamic the 
generated list will always be the same, but it will change per view. The ideal 
is store it in a volatile field.
2. The component unique ids passed to generate later an unique id in 
UniqueIdVendor.createUniqueId(). By the spec it is not possible to hook 
createUniqueId, but we can reuse for that counter the generated values "at 
level 0" (which means for components that are not in a dynamic part).

It is possible to use 
FaceletCompositionContext.startComponentUniqueIdSection(), to indicate the 
"level 0" where all unique ids will be generated whithout change.

The cache proposed in 2. can be enabled by default, because it is something 
more related to the counter, but the cache for 1. it is too risky. I tried by 
default and it pass all tests, but for now I'll let it by default false to 
prevent problems.

 The proposal is add these two params:

    /**
     * Enable or disable a cache used to "remember" the generated facelets 
unique ids and reduce 
     * the impact on memory usage, only active if 
javax.faces.FACELETS_REFRESH_PERIOD is -1 (no refresh).
     */
    @JSFWebConfigParam(defaultValue = "false", since = "2.0.13, 2.1.7", 
expectedValues="true, false", 
            group="viewhandler", tags="performance",
            desc="Enable or disable a cache used to 'remember'  the generated 
facelets unique ids " + 
                 "and reduce the impact over memory usage.")
    public static final String INIT_PARAM_VIEW_UNIQUE_IDS_CACHE_ENABLED = 
        "org.apache.myfaces.VIEW_UNIQUE_IDS_CACHE_ENABLED";
    public static final boolean 
INIT_PARAM_VIEW_UNIQUE_IDS_CACHE_ENABLED_DEFAULT = false;
    
    /**
     * Set the size of the cache used to store strings generated using 
SectionUniqueIdCounter
     * for component ids. If this is set to 0, no cache is used. By default is 
set to 100.
     */
    @JSFWebConfigParam(defaultValue = "100", since = "2.0.13, 2.1.7",
            group="viewhandler", tags="performance")
    public static final String INIT_PARAM_COMPONENT_UNIQUE_IDS_CACHE_SIZE =
        "org.apache.myfaces.COMPONENT_UNIQUE_IDS_CACHE_SIZE";
    public static final int INIT_PARAM_COMPONENT_UNIQUE_IDS_CACHE_SIZE_DEFAULT 
= 100;

If no objections I'll commit the solution proposed soon.
