Paul Lindner commented on SHINDIG-28:
-------------------------------------
A reference implementation doesn't have to be slow, see Apache and Tomcat for
real-world examples.
That said, it would be beneficial to use the gadget server as an origin server
for a CDN. To use it effectively would require that all static elements be
prefixed by the CDN hostname.
For example assume that http://gadgets.example.com is running the generated
war. We then configure http://static.gadgets.example.com on our CDN, using
http://gadgets.example.com as our origin server.
To effectively utilize this setup we could
* Configure the servlet with a context-param that identifies the CDN host
prefix (this can be done manually or via context.xml in Tomcat)
* Modify all locations that generate static content URLs to use this context
parameter as part of the hostname generation process.
Bonus points if you embed a version number in the query params string to allow
for infinite caching....
> Allow a URL prefix for all static content to allow for use on CDNs
