APM - Logon page customized with rss information - How long page caching is update ?

Hello,

 

We have customized APM Logon page with information get from rss internal directly in PHP.

 

To do this, we modify PHP code in APM Logon page to get information from rss and generate APM Logon page with this information.

 

So when rss information are updated, it's not appear directly in APM Logon page, so I think PHP code in APM doesn't executed all the time. I think APM used cache with PHP or with another solution integrated in httpd.

 

For the moment, I doesn't find how long APM logon page are cached ? And how it's possible to update or force update this cache ?

 

Best regards Nicolas

    Don't do this.

     

    APM has a web server (apache) with very limited resources that is not designed to render dynamic pages via php. The cache operates always and cannot be disabled. This is intentional, so that apache only has a very tiny load right at startup and is not used for normal user operation.

     

    Modern web apps are mostly utilizing client-side JS, so something like an RSS reader ought to be implemented using that sort of technology.

      OK I understand this. At the beginning of this project, Rss information are integrated with javascript. But, in APM logon page, when user load my.policy and this page generate a new request to load another content, this request are very long (24 seconds). I think APM or another features modify request and generate a slowly request.
