[opencms-dev] Static Export Speed in Version 6

[Brett Beaumont]

Arash/Christian,
 
Thanks for you replies. One of the problems we have with our setup is that we have some shared content which gets loaded into multiple pages. For example, a news item that gets incorporated into the home page, and the press releases page. This means that our users only need to create the news item once, but it also means that we need to export the home page and press release page every time a news release is published (neither of which have really been changed).
 
Looking at the AfterPublishHandler, we may have an ability to code in something like "if publishList contains any files in /common/news/ then export the home page and news pages" to take case of our specific dependencies.
 
The OnDemandStaticExportHandler handler probably won't help us too much as our process is to export the pages, and then ZIP them up and transfer to a separate web server. As such, the pages are never actually requested from the OpenCMS server; we simply expect them to be on the filesystem.
 
Thanks again for your prompt replies.
 
Regards,
 
Brett Beaumont

	yes, definitely, you can use the AfterPublishHandler and export only the new or changed files.

			All, 

			We manage a couple of large OpenCMS v5 instances where the static export time is incredibly long (over an hour). Can anyone tell me if OpenCMS v6 makes a significant difference to the speed of the static export?

		I have the feeling that it is faster than with opencms 5, but still it requires a lot of time for publishing.
		not much experience yet from my side.
		
		I have coded an own publishing class to do the static export in a low-priority background process so that the user doesn't have to wait for it to finish.
		If i've tested it, i'll post it to the list.
		
		Of course background publishing still generates load and takes time. If you make changes very frequently, then I don't know - maybe it's better then to use the new OnDemandStaticExportHandler, which hooks into the "file not found" processing and writes out a page only, if it is requested and not yet existing. 
		In this way, your pages don't have to be pre-exported, before they are requested.
