Maven sitemagnolia-advanced-cache-app
Latest version

The Advanced Cache App installs an Advanced tab into the Cache Tools app that allows you to configure site-aware caches.

Installing

Maven is the easiest way to install the module. Add the following to your bundle. The parent POM of your webapp project should set the latest version of the module automatically. Should you need to use a specific module version, you can define it using the <version/> in the dependency.

<dependency>
  <groupId>info.magnolia.advancedcache</groupId>
  <artifactId>magnolia-advanced-cache-app</artifactId>
</dependency>

Uninstalling

  1. Go to the app, unset all checkboxes for site aware workspaces and confirm.
  2. Remove the /modules/advanced-cache-app and  /modules/cache-app/apps/cacheTools/subApps/advancedTools  nodes.
  3. Shut down Magnolia, remove the Advanced Cache module JAR (magnolia-advanced-cache-app.jar) from WEB-INF/lib and start up Magnolia again.

Usage

Open the cacheTools app, go to the Advanced tab and select workspaces which are site-aware. Then means that it used different subtrees for different sites. For example the site www.site1.com uses subtree /site1 in the website workspace and www.site2.com uses the subtree /site2. Click Configure and restart your instance.  

How to test

  1. Fill the caches with some content.
  2. Change something in one of the subtrees.
  3. Check that corresponding cache was flushed and other site caches aren't empty.
  4. Add / remove a site via site app and check that a cache was added/removed.
