[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17148) Improvements needed (regarding caching) in the URLTransport* API

Improvements needed (regarding caching) in the URLTransport* API ---------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-17148 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17148 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: common/jst/core Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta1 Reporter: Fred Bricon Assignee: Rob Stryker Fix For: 4.2.0.Beta2 There are a few things I'd like to see improved in the URL Transport API, wrt caching. Currently : * all files are downloaded and cached under <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.jboss.tools.foundation.core/ECF_REMOTE_CACHE, using a cryptic name * Cache doesn't survive JVM restart What I need/expect : * ability to set custom cache folder * store files under <cache.folder>/requested.url. eg. : if I request https://foo.bar.org:8080/some/location/file.txt, it'll be stored under <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/my.plugin/cache/http_foo.bar.org_8080/some/location/file.txt * restarting the IDE will be able to read the cached file Currently URLTransportCache is a singleton. We could change that and add the cache location as a constructor argument, have a URLTransportCache.DEFAULT instance, used by URLTransportUtility and probably override {quote} public File getCachedFileForURL(String url, String displayName, int lifespan, IProgressMonitor monitor) {quote} with {quote} public File getCachedFileForURL(String url, String displayName, URLTransportCache transportCache, IProgressMonitor monitor) {quote} Or if you have any better idea, be my guest :-)
