The GX WebManager caching mechanism allows for content to be split up in separate section that can be cached independent of each other. The technique of Server Side Include (SSI) is used to accomplish this. The visitor of a website will not notice anything of this technique, since all is computed on the server side before a full page is sent out. For debugging purposes however, it is important to know which URLs are really used to display content, since they all can display different caching behavior.
The server side includes on a page can be displayed. To see them go the the following URL:
http://<backend server>/web/show/id=123456?ssidebug=true |
In order for this to work, you need to be logged in with the Tomcat administrative login.
NB: With latest Tomcat versions you may have some difficulty using the tool. To be able to use the ssidebug or xmldebug tools, you need to follow exactly these steps:
Open the URL http://<backend>/web/admin/status
Login with the proper credentials
Verify that you see the status page
Open the URL
http://<backend>/web/show/id=...?xmldebug=true
