Hello all, I am currently working with the parallel inclusion through the IncludeTransformer. Our website is based on Cocoon 2.1.11. It works fine and we truly like this feature, but I notice some strange behaviour : a.. I have a XSP page with 4 "i:include" inclusions. We configured the include transformer in the sitemap to enable parallelism. b.. I placed breakpoints on every included page to see how cocoon processes the inclusions. c.. When I try to generate this page, it seems like inclusions are made 2 by 2. I see 2 of my breakpoints being reached, the others being reached only after completion of these first inclusions. The weird thing is that the order seem to change randomly : sometime i got inclusion 1 and 4 first, sometime 1 and 2, etc. I would have expected to see my 4 breakpoints being reached in 4 distinct threads... Could someone explain to me if it is possible to include these 4 elements in 4 parallel threads or whether there are some limitations or restrictions on the parallelism ?
The other thing (less important since i found a workaround) is that parallelism seem to only work when referencing local elements through the cocoon protocol (URI like "cocoon:/"). As soon as we reference inclusions through "external" URLs (URI like "http://"), every inclusion seem to be processed sequentially. Could you confirm this is the expected behaviour ? If someone can explain me why it is working this way I would be very interested. Thank your very much for your help / time & keep up the good work ! Christophe.
