Abstract

Cache control for Web application resources can include receiving a cache manifest for a Web application, wherein the cache manifest specifies a Web page of the Web application, and determining, using a processor, a resource that is required by the Web page. A closure collection can be built that includes the resource required by the Web page. A reference to the resource can be written to the cache manifest.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
generating a cache manifest for a Web application, wherein the cache manifest specifies a Web page of the Web application;
determining, using a processor, a resource that is required by the Web page;
building a closure collection including the resource required by the Web page;
writing a reference indicating the resource to the cache manifest;
separating the Web application into a first component comprising the closure collection and the cache manifest and a second component, distinct from the first component, including at least a portion of the Web application not included in the first component;
deploying the first component to a first server system; and
deploying the second component to a second server system different than the first server system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining a resource that is required by the Web page comprises:
determining a target specified by the Web page as the resource.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining that the resource is a static resource.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein each resource included within the closure collection is a static resource.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising compressing at least a portion of the closure collection.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the closure collection comprises at least a first resource and a second resource, the method further comprising:
consolidating the first resource and the second resource into a single, consolidated resource.

7. A method comprising:
deploying a first component of a Web application to a first data processing system, wherein the first component comprises a content cache specifying a list of resources for a Web page of the Web application and a closure collection comprising each resource in the list of resources of the content cache; and
deploying a second component of the Web application to a second data processing system, wherein the second component comprises at least a portion of the Web application not included in the first component;
wherein the first data processing system is a first server system and the second data processing is a second server system different than the first server system.
