Along the lines of using reST and whatnot... Pretty much junk at this point, but my local "sandbox" (in subversion): http://svn.etria.org/root/trunk/webware-site/server/Plugins/ I do not know the Webware internals well yet, but what I basically want is a caching setup for generated documents (such as the XML you get from reST or anything produced with XML and XSLT). My current solution seems overly complex :) I have a parent class 'Cached' which holds 'Source' objects. There are a number of different kinds of Source objects such as FileSource and DatabaseSource (in theory...right now I just have FileSource) since each type of Source has different ways of getting its mtime (a file would get it from os.stat, data from a database would prob need a mtime column...I want HTTP/FTP/Dav sources too at some point..). A class that inherits 'Cached' will hold a list of Source objects as well as a result object (which is really a Source object). Whenever a one of these documents is needed, lets say by calling Document.content(), all the source mtimes are checked against the result mtime and the cache content is returned (after being re-generated if any of the sources are newer than the current cache). Make sense? It's just a slick (in theory) way of saying "gimme this document, but dont regenerate it if its in the cache". My questions: Is there a better way? Is there some internal method that will tell me where the Cache directory is? How can I get to the config options set in the Config direcotry? (Ian, you told me this on IRC at some point but it slipped my mind) Thanks, -Tom
