Hi,
I'm currently trying to optimize my servlet for more throughput. The
servlet sends dynamic content, which is however, known, not to change very
often. So my first idea was to use the HttpServletResponse-header field
Last-Modified and check, if the document had been modified. If not, I just
send an SC_NOT_MODIFIED back. This helps a bit, but still the browser asks
the servlet for each document. So I went back to the description of the
Http headers and found the Expires header. For documents for which I have
the information, I then set this header to some value (i.e. current time+1
hour), so that the browser doesnt even have to ask for the document, but
can directly use its cached version.
Are there any other methods for optimizing throughput of documents which
are known not to change too often? Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
Regards
HEIKO
