Pre-render methods

You can configure pre-rendering to run automatically, or you can manually initiate it using a URL.

Note

To pre-render a website, you must have administrator access to the library that contains the site area.

  • Automatic pre-rendering: Configure the cacher settings specified in the WCM WCMConfigService service.

  • Manual pre-rendering for a website: Initiate pre-rendering through the URL interface. For example:

    http://host_name:port\_number/wps/wcm/connect?MOD=Cacher&SRV=cacheSite&sitearea=sitearea\_name&library=library\_name
    Service Description Required Parameters Optional Parameters
    SRV=cacheSite Initializes pre-rendering for the site area with a specified delay(in seconds). sitearea=site area name DELAY=<delay>
    LIBRARY=<library>

    Note: If no library is specified, the default library is used, as specified by the defaultLibrary property in the WCM WCMConfigService service.
    SRV=cacheSiteExtended Initializes pre-rendering for the site area with a specified delay (in seconds). Passes the ServletContext to be used during processing. The ServletContext is required to pre-render JSP components and might be needed in other processing.
    The associated user must be an administrative user.    		 sitearea=site area name DELAY=<delay>
    LIBRARY=<library>

    Note: If no library is specified, the default library is used, as specified by the defaultLibrary property in the WCM WCMConfigService service.
    SRV=flushSiteCache Clears (flushes) the site cache and deletes all pre-rendered data. sitearea=site area name LIBRARY=<library>

    Note: If no library is specified, the default library is used, as specified by the defaultLibrary property in the WCM WCMConfigService service.
    SRV=flushPageCache Flushes the page from the site cache. The site area and page are determined from the request URL.    
    No SRV specified The CacherModule attempts to retrieve the page from the cache.    

  • Manual pre-rendering for individual content items: Use the following URL structure:

    http://host_name:port_number/wps/wcm/connect/library_name/site_area_name/content?MOD=Cacher

    Note

    Before you can pre-render an individual content item, the site area specified in the URL must already exist in the target destination. It must either be defined in the connect.moduleconfig.cacher.task.siteareas property of the WCM WCMConfigService service, or you must have manually pre-rendered it using the SRV=cacheSite parameter.
