[opencms-dev] Dependencies between files

[Andrew Kerr]

Hi there,

We have an "index" page on our site that dynamically builds an index of 
all other pages in a certain subdirectory.  This page is a JSP, but we 
statically export it when publishing for performance reasons.

This works well, but we've found that whenever a new page is added to 
the subdirectory, we have no way for the index page to automatically 
detect that it needs to be republished.  We have to manually touch the 
index JSP everytime we change the files in the subdirectory.

Is there anything in OpenCMS that allows you to mark a file as being 
dependent on changes in other files or directories so that we don't have 
to perform this manual touch step?

Thanks,
Andrew Kerr
