Error description
JR54611 sets Local/Remote binding requests to uncacheable only when: 1. The response code is 404 2. If an exception is thrown on the JSP page. This behavior can be toggled by setting RESTinLocalRemoteBindingExceptionsEnabled to false in <WCDE_installdir>/workspace/WC/xml/config/com.ibm.commerce.found ation-ext/wc-component.xml custom configuration file. When RESTinLocalRemoteBindingExceptionsEnabled is set to true, if a generic shopper accesses an empty shopping cart, the REST call returns a 404, which triggers the fix in JR54611 and causes the hosting JSP page to not be cached.
Local fix
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Commerce Version 7 Feature Pack 8, and Version 8. PROBLEM ABSTRACT: JR54611 sets Local/Remote binding requests to uncacheable when 404 error is returned BUSINESS IMPACT: Customers who want to cache 404 requests must also disable the configuration to set all exceptions in JSP files as uncachable. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
Added configuration "RESTinLocalRemoteBindingCachingDisabledFor404" to determine whether JSPs are set as uncacheable for responses with a 404 status code. - When set to "true", the JSP responses with a 404 status code will be uncacheable. - When set to "false", the JSP responses with a 404 status code will be cacheable. - The default configuration for this setting is "false". You can change the configuration by modifying the <WCDE_installdir>/workspace/WC/xml/config/com.ibm.commerce.found ation-ext/wc-component.xml file.
