| Publish Event-Driven Web Content With Jsp Custom Tags |
|
|
| The article summary states the following: "Dynamically generated Web content can sometimes appear relatively static. In that case, the Web server publishes dynamically to serve clients the same unmodified content, all at the expense of resources and performance. This article shows how you can avoid this unnecessary stress on the server. Based on an event-driven publishing approach, you can serve the same content in static document form to magically reflect the data's current state." The article is pretty basic and it starts off well. The example could use some more details with numbers to show how much performance could be improved using such a system. |
