--- Comment #32 from Alex Watson <alex_wat...@standardandpoors.com> 2009-04-13 22:03:00 PST --- Hi Jeremias, Thanks for the pointers to the code base - that is a real help to my understanding. I had considered the expiration idea for all images (rather than just for missing images), but was not sure if it was the ideal solution. This solution would be perfect for me (with my current problem), but it would not have helped M.H. who originally raised this issue. It would depend upon how configurable the expiration was and how expensive it was to re-fetch an image. Can you explain your comments about the UriResolver being expensive in high-volume applications? I didn't quite understand the part about HTTP and timestamps. I know that the built-in (default) UriResolver will create connections to HTTP webservers or local FileSystems (etc) - and this can become expensive without any caching strategies. However, when a developer plugs-in their own UriResolver it can be as smart and efficient as they like (and does not need to create external connections). We have a global ResourceResolver class that implements the UriResolver interface. This implements its own caching strategy (and caches fonts, nested XSLT, imported XML as well as images). Our implementation primarily loads resources from disk (file), but future extensions to our system could allow this to generate XML, Images or even XSLT on the fly. I guess that is why I would prefer a hook that will let me take care of (part of) the caching solutuion. Sorry I cannot help with the patch - we only specify "logical" resources within our XSLT, they are all mapped to real resources via our UriResolver. We do not use the Base parameter. For what it is worth, I think the patch looks OK to me and may help some users - but it does not really address my concerns. Cheers!
