Hi everybody, After starting the servlet engine, the first request to use a Velocity template normally takes a bit of time to generate the output, but then once this initial request has been made, all subsequent requests to use Velocity are quicker.
I don't want any users to experience this startup delay, so I thought the most obvious thing to do would be to have a servlet with an init method that makes a URLConnection to a page generated with Turbine's Velocity service. Whenever the servlet engine is started, this init method is called and the first request to a velocity generated page is made by this servlet and not a user. What I was hoping is if someone could tell me if this is a sensible way of overcoming the 1st request delay for velocity/turbine, or if there's a better way or a universally agreed method of doing this. Thanks in advance & even more thanks for this fantastic framework, Eliot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
