Setting up the cachespec.xml to full-page cache TopCategoriesDisplay

In this lesson, you will learn how to set up the cachespec.xml file to full-page cache TopCategoriesDisplay.

Procedure

  1. Open the cachespec.xml file located in WC_eardir \Stores.war\WEB-INF.
  2. Add a cache-entry for the TopCategoriesDisplay page to the cachespec.xml file. In order to do this, add the following code into the file: 
    
<cache-entry>
        <class>
servlet</class>
       
<name>
com.ibm.commerce.struts.ECActionServlet.class</name>
        <property
name="consume-subfragments">
true</property>
        <property
name="save-attributes">
false</property>
        <property name="store-cookies">
false</property>
        <!-- StoreCatalogDisplay?storeId=<storeId>
 -->
        <!--
TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=<storeId>
&catalogId=<catalogId>
-->
        <cache-id>
                <component id="" type="pathinfo">
                        <required>
true</required>
                       
<value>
/TopCategoriesDisplay</value>
                </component>
                <component id="storeId" type="parameter">
                        <required>
true</required>
                        </component>
                <component id="catalogId" type="parameter">
                        <required>
true</required>
                </component>
        </cache-id>
</cache-entry>
    Note: A sample cachespec.xml file containing the required cache-entry for different entities is available in this: Sample cachespec.xml file .
  3. Test out your cachespec.xml file. You do not need to restart the server for the new cachespec.xml file to take effect.
    1. Open the cache monitor, go to Cache Policies , and verify that the new policy is listed. It will appear as /webapp/wcs/stores/com.ibm.commerce.struts.ECActionServlet.class
    2. Select the TopCategoriesDisplay page.
    3. Verify that there is a cache-entry present for the TopCategoriesDisplay page.
