Re: [SourceResolver] getLastModified() for cocoon:// sources alwaysreturns 0

2003-06-22 Thread Christopher Oliver
You're right. But it's a bad idea to use the cocoon:// protocol as the 
source for JXTemplateGenerator (as it would be also for TraxTransformer, 
for example). In effect you are generating a new "program" for every 
request, that must be recompiled for every request, which is clearly 
_very_ inefficient. Perhaps caching could fix this in some cases, but it 
seems like a bad practice in the first place.

In Linotype I saw some other strange uses of the cocoon:// protocol that 
appear to be very bad for performance:
There's a pipeline that uses the directory generator to read a 
directory, and transforms it using xslt into a cinclude template. 
Another pipeline uses this as a source for its generator using the 
cocoon:// protocol. This would seem to defeat any possibility of 
compiling the cinclude template (or am I missing something?)

Chris

Yes !

   

If yes at least the JXTemplateGenerator (line 2868) 
doesn't work correctly and I think some more components too.

 

Didn't look at it, but 2.1 components should rely on 
Excalibur Sources 
and the associated SourceResolver (looked up in the component 
manager) 
to use the Source's validity.
   

Thank you!

If I understand this correctly I get with

   source.getValidity()

the SourceValidity. But if I call e.g. cocoon://blablalba.xml this
method returns null. The default pipe is the caching pipe
and I use it with

...

If I resolve a resource using the file protocol a SourceValidity object
is returned.
Do I have to change something to get a SourceValidity object returned
from a cocoon source?
