[opencms-dev] Static export problem when publishing individual files

[Jonathan Woods]

Joe -

At a cursory glance, this sounds like reasonable behaviour.  When you touch
the resource, OpenCms knows that means the statically exported RFS version
is out of date - so it removes it.  This doesn't matter because it should be
replaced on demand next time it is requested: browser requests document;
OpenCms knows it's statically exported; OpenCms doesn't find it in the
appropriate (RFS) static export location; OpenCms passes control to
handle404 which creates the RFS copy from the new VFS version; and finally
it serves up the result to the browser.

So I suppose the question is: if you touch a PDF resource then re-publish
it, are you not then able to download it from a browser which is 'seeing'
the online project?

Subject: [opencms-dev] Static export problem when publishing individual
files

I've been having a static export problem since I started using OpenCms 6.0.x
and it's getting quite serious for me now. I was hoping an upgrade to
version 6.0.4 would solve the problem, but it does not. If you don't have an
answer, some debugging tips would be appreciated.

Here is the problem:

I'm using  CmsOnDemandStaticExportHandler. Some items (eg PDFs) just will
not get exported to the static export directory when published individually.
Worse -- if they are already there it just deletes the old version and
replaces it with nothing. No errors are reported to the user, and no errors
are seen in the log file.

The only way reliably publish is to do a full static export from the admin
console.

Here is the log output of what happens when I try to publish an individual
PDF in this directory. Before starting I do a full static export from admin
console. I start with 4 PDFs in the static export directory which is
correct. I 'touch' one of the files in the OpenCms Explorer view and
republish it. It disappears from the static export directory and
consequently from the public web site.

Here is the log output (I increased logging for static exports). Note the
last item in the log ... it's deleting the file ...  and then..
nothing.

Here is another PDF file in the same directory, looks a little different
(not sure why).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
