I'd like to see uPortal have the ability to cache XML documents used by channels and a worker of some kind that can refresh the cache in the background so that user requests do not wait for xml to be retrieved from badly behaved sites.

Yale has been running such a service for many years - but it is not entirely stable and I don't think it is a good design. It relies on one background thread to refresh stale documents based on parameters passed. It is enormously helpful to the portal's performance to have shared documents cached and refreshed on a requested interval. How many other similar implementations are out there to address the problem of slow or broken external xml dependencies?

Would someone care to recommend or donate a robust and well designed implementation?

Susan
