I think you are getting something wrong here.

If you have two objects bizObj1 and bizObj2, and you pass these to a pipeline that does

JXT(bizObj1)->tx->tx-\
                     >-aggregate->tx->serlialize
JXT(bizObj2)->tx->tx-/

You would do:

sendPage("your-pipeline", {"bizObj1": bizObj1, "bizObj2": bizObj2});
It feel like it breaks SoC a little as controller has to know how your view is rendered. Also if you change your rendering to 3 aggregate parts you have to make appropriate changes in controller.

Then, your objects would implement:

bizObj.getValidity()

And the jxtemplate would ask the business object for its validity as Sylvain has described.

Thus, if bizObj1 says it can be cached, and bizObj2 says it can't, then at least one of your two aggregated pipelines doesn't need to be generated, which will speed up processing.

Remember, the jxtemplate pulls the validity from the business object. The flow doesn't need to even know that caching might be happening (and in fact _shouldn't_ know it is happening). If you have to write flowscript to deal with this, then something is probably wrong.

If your business object takes an age to instantiate, and you can decide whether or not to instantiate it based upon request parameters, then wrap it in a lighter component that does (in pseudocode):

lightObject.getValidity() {
 return request.parameters["a"]+ request.parameters["b"];
}

lightObject.getHeavyBusinessObject() {
 if (this.heavyBusinessObject == null) {
    this.heavyBusinessObject = HeavyBusinessObjectBuilder.newObject();
 }
 return this.heavyBusinessObject;
}

Then, in your jxt, you use Sylvains jx:cacheKey="lightObject.getValidity()" construct, and then later in your jxt, you access your heavy object with #{/lightObject/HeavyObject/property1}. This latter expression will only be invoked if the page is not cached.

Does that make sense?
Now it does. I never thought of a wrapper. It's real pleasure to discuss with you all.


It seems to me that Sylvains suggested extension of jxt has a great deal of power in it.
OK. Then I'll continue my work and try to provide the appropriate patch as I have already started to make needed changes.
