Configuring HTTP Caching

By default, HTTP Caching is disabled in GMS.

To configure caching, you must first start and stop GMS. Tell me why

The configuration file is embedded in the gms.war file; if you don't want to start and stop GMS, you must unzip the war file, edit the configuration file as described below, and zip the files in gms.war.

Then, you can configure caching in GMS by editing the following file, located in the WEB-INF directory of your GMS installation: <GMS_HOME>/work/.../webapp/WEB-INF/servlet-context.xml

You should set the cacheSeconds property value to 3600 for instance (defaut is 0).

<bean id="webContentInterceptor"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.WebContentInterceptor">
<property name="cacheSeconds" value="3600" />
<property name="useExpiresHeader" value="true" />
<property name="useCacheControlHeader" value="true" />
<property name="useCacheControlNoStore" value="true" />
</bean>

Then, you should restart GMS.

Tip

You must set this option to an appropriate value in case of heavy traffic between ORS and GMS.
