HTTP response caching enhancements

EAServer 4.1 adds support for caching of static content, and enhances the servlet response caching abilities introduced in EAServer 4.0.

Static page caching can increase performance by caching static files in memory. You can configure which files are cached and for how long on a per-server basis. For more information, see Chapter 5, “Web Application Tuning,” in the EAServer Performance and Tuning Guide.

In EAServer 4.1, the entire response from JSPs that use forward or include commands is cached. Previously, you needed to configure caching separately for the forwarded or included page. In version 4.1, you can enable the Cache Entire Tree option for a Web component so that the response from all forwards and includes is cached together with content generated by the Web component itself. For more information on servlet response caching, see see Chapter 5, “Web Application Tuning,” in the EAServer Performance and Tuning Guide.
