Caching problem with XSP, XSL and cocoon pseudo protocol





------- Additional Comments From m_rolappe@web.de  2003-08-01 07:51 -------
the bug is the way SitemapSource (here cocoon:/bar) computes its last modified 
date; it hashes a combination of the event pipeline's cache key and the 
corresponding validity. this yields (in most cases?) a negative number. when 
ProgramGeneratorImpl checks the xsp's creation date against the source's last 
modified date it 'finds out' that the xsp is 'newer' and must be updated.

in cocoon 2.1 (from a quick look at a checkout) the SitemapSource just returns 
0; can't determine. which means that recompilation of the XSP would be done 
here also.


so, the solution is to get a valid last modification date for the 
SitemapSource, for which there are probably many ways, e.g.

- store the creation/modification date for a cached stream/event pipeline, and 
make it accessible
- store that date and the pipeline's validity in transient cache and later on 
check previous (stored) validity against current validity and if validity 
changed, update last modified and store validity

I've tried the latter one. if there's any interest I could provide a patch.
