Hi Folks,
I have written two plugins for ATS, one for changing caching logic with help of external decision agent and one for content transformation. In both plugin's I'm establishing a connection with an external server/process for each transaction, which I feel kind of over kill as its repetitive and a good software design always avoids repetitive task. ICAP protocol might help but again it's also a transaction based protocol and has inherited properties of HTTP.
My question is, is there a way to establish a dedicated connection between an external server and ATS, which can be used by all the transactions(As Transport)?
I want to avoid changing ATS system architecture as its very complex. Thank you, Sunil Vasanta
