Re: Home page options for Apache on IBMi

How is creating the index file on a daily basis any different than creating it each time it is accessed? still takes the same programming to do it. And then you have a dynamic site rather than a pseudo static site. KISS

Subject: [WEB400] Home page options for Apache on IBMi

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,

Bill
