Hi, Dan, it was good to meet you at OR11. I don't know the "official" answer to this, but I do know my "voodoo" answer is, yes, I make it a habit to clear the Cocoon cache if I ever change anything in the XMLUI. I do it often enough that I'd like to develop a button for the XMLUI admin control panel so I can clear the cache, taking advantage of the native Cocoon clearcache method, while Tomcat is up. Though, manually deleting the files works great, and I often need to reboot Tomcat as part of the development process anyway, so I just take a moment, while Tomcat is down, to delete the Cocoon cache files.
Perhaps someone with a deeper understanding of Cocoon can respond with something more nuanced than my answer. But I'd say, it can't hurt, if you're developing using XMLUI, to empty the cache files pre-emptively. They are, after all, just cache files, most likely in a development environment. So, no big deal to delete 'em. -- HARDY POTTINGER <pottinge...@umsystem.edu> University of Missouri Library Systems http://lso.umsystem.edu/~pottingerhj/ "No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back." --Turkish proverb On 6/16/11 1:47 PM, "Galewsky, Dan" <dan.galew...@austin.utexas.edu> wrote: >Recently I was changing the browse indices for my Dspace 1.7.2 >installation in my dspace.cfg -- for example : > > webui.browse.index.1 = datecreated:metadata:dc.date.created:date > >The problem I ran into was that even after restarting Tomcat and my >browser - my changes did not show up in the user interface. > >After a bit of research I ran across an article that recommended removing >the Cocoon cache files in Tomcat: > > rm >/usr/local/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/_/cache-dir/cocoon-ehcache.data > rm >/usr/local/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/_/cache-dir/cocoon-ehcache.index > >When I removed these cache files - and restarted Tomcat - the changes >that I had expected to see in the UI actually showed up. > >So - my question - do I need to remove these files in order for changes >like this to show up? > >What about if I just removed the cache files every time I restarted >Tomcat - would this be a bad idea?
