Class CachingSourceFactory

java.lang.Object
  extended byorg.apache.cocoon.components.source.impl.CachingSourceFactory
All Implemented Interfaces:
BeanNameAware, SourceFactory, URIAbsolutizer

public class CachingSourceFactory
extends Object
implements URIAbsolutizer, SourceFactory, BeanNameAware

This class implements a proxy like source caches the contents of the source it wraps. This implementation can cache the content either for a given period of time or until an external event invalidates the cached response.

When using the timeout approach you have a choice between two separate revalidation strategies:

Protocol syntax

The URL needs to contain the URL of the cached source, an expiration period in seconds, and optionally a cache key: cached:http://www.apache.org/[?cocoon:cache-expires=60][&cocoon:cache-name=main][&cocoon:cache-fail=true].

The above examples shows how the real source http://www.apache.org/ is wrapped and the cached contents is used for 60 seconds. The second querystring parameter instructs that the cache key be extended with the string main. This allows the use of multiple cache entries for the same source. The cache-fail argument lets subsequent syncronous requests, that have to be refreshed, fail, in the case that the wrapped source can't be reached. The default value for cache-fail is true.

This factory creates either instances of CachingSource or TraversableCachingSource depending on the whether the wrapped Source is an instance of TraversableSource.

If other types of sources should be supported, subclass this class and override the method instantiateSource(String, String, Source, int, String, boolean).

In order to use the CachingSourceFactory in Cocoon, you have to set it up as Spring bean. For this purpose you can use the abstract bean definition with the name org.apache.excalibur.source.SourceFactory/caching::abstract:
<bean name="org.apache.excalibur.source.SourceFactory/cached::abstract" class="org.apache.cocoon.components.source.impl.CachingSourceFactory" abstract="true"> <property name="cache" ref="org.apache.cocoon.caching.Cache"/> <property name="sourceResolver" ref="org.apache.excalibur.source.SourceResolver"/> <property name="serviceManager" ref="org.apache.avalon.framework.service.ServiceManager"/> <property name="validityStrategy"> <bean class="org.apache.cocoon.components.source.impl.ExpiresCachingSourceValidityStrategy"/> </property> </bean>

It is also possible to override dependencies partially there.
