Re: Home page options for Apache on IBMi

The implication was that the changes were few - that meant it was possible that even an hourly/daily/whatever timed regeneration might have been sufficient.

A static page would use less resource and we don’t know how many home page hits there are.

I was merely pointing out that the complexity of the solution was perhaps overkill for the situation and just wanted to give the OP something different to think about.

excuse me, but serving a homepage 'on the fly' is much more simple that
introducing
triggers that has to monotor if changes has been made in a given timeframe.

It is raw and it is KISS just to serve the page

I was thinking along the same lines Bill. Maybe if it needs to be more
dynamic then combine this idea with a trigger or similar event on the
table(s) in question that would regenerate the static page. From the OP’s
original request it sounds as if anything else is overkill.

Just because we _can_ do fancy things is not a good reason to do them -
particularly when it adds complexity.

I was once asked to design a database application for which the optimal

solution was to buy the user a dozen file cards. Reading the posts makes
me wonder whether we are grossly overdesigning Joe's application.

I have a web site that uses AJAX calls for information that can change

by the second. For another, I used server-side calls to dynamically add
the same header and footer information to the 300+ pages making up the
site. While this worked great, I realized this was overkill for pages that
might change only once a month. I now store all pages in XML format and
run a job once a month or as needed to recreates the web site using an XSLT
transform.

Would this problem be solved by running a daily job that simply

recreates the index file?

KISS,
