Scott/David, So I have added the CastorXmlPageManager to the underlying FileCache listeners and have managed some degree of success in reaping the page context caches. However, I am trying to optimize the operation of CastorXmlPageManager cache eviction by using the last accessed time of the FileCacheEntry and comparing that to the page context creation times in the cache. The idea is to eliminate the complete dumping of the cache without performing complex dependency tracking and tests.
Anyway, I am not sure if the approach is sound or not yet, but it appears that the last accessed time of the cache elements is not being updated when elements are referenced. Obviously, my algorithm relies on this happening and it would seem that the LRU features of the FileCache require this information as well. I thought I'd check to see if you had any input or insight into this before I went ahead and had the various page manager documents and associated handlers set the last access times. I do not plan to support fine grain access tracking. Instead, I was just going to register PageManager level accesses; in other words, I was not going to consider rendering of a page or navigational document to be an access. Thoughts? Randy
