Re: Home page options for Apache on IBMi

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was thinking along the same lines Bill.  Maybe if it needs to be more dynamic then combine this idea with a trigger or similar event on the table(s) in question that would regenerate the static page. From the OP’s original request it sounds as if anything else is overkill.

Just because we _can_ do fancy things is not a good reason to do them - particularly when it adds complexity.

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.
