iview caching on base of "ICacheValidator"

I try to redefine the caching for my portal component, by using ICacheValidator. Although i implemented the functions "isCacheValid" and "getValidationKey" it seems as if these functions are not used.

At last i tried to run following simple program, where still none of the 2 functions is called.

IView and page where created according to the comments in the code. Deployment descriptor is added as well further down.

code:

package com.sap.portal.iviewtest.caching;

import com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.*;

import com.sapportals.portal.prt.pom.IEvent;

/*

• How to implement caching functionality

• 1. declare an iview property for the key in portalapp.xml

• 2. retrieve this property for key computation

• 3. implement ICacheValidator

• 4. return custom computed key in getValidationKey()

• 5. check current key to computed key in isCaheValid()

• remarks: - first call to component/iview will deliver NULL as pagecache key

• until iview property changes

• - alway change properties on iview direct noct on deltalinks

• iview properties:

• CacheLevel: Shared

• IsolationMode: Embedded

• page properties:

• CacheLevel: Shared

• IsolationMode: URL

response.write(""+System.currentTimeMillis());
