I store all my content for a Cocoon site in xml files. This means I make a lot of use of the DirectoryGenerator. It works great, but I've got now some legacy .pdf files from another project, sometimes hundreds per directory, sometimes on another machine on the local network, and so it takes several seconds to collect the directory contents.
I know that DirectoryGenerator doesn't cache, which makes sense for most cases. But what about cases like mine where I know the contents of a directory only change once a day at midnight: I don't need to keep pulling the directory's contents all day long with every page hit to my site. I need caching of some sort. I don't mind if the first visitor to my site each day has to wait 5 seconds for that page. But if I could then capture that created final page and store it for the rest of the day, that would be great. I can envision relatively cumbersome solutions like running command line programs on chron jobs to create the data I really need, which is a subset of files from the directory. But all this seems intuitively unnecessary...Cocoon is such a flexible platform that I just sense there's a simpler Cocoon solution to this.
