Hi Geoff, I don't think there's a simpler way, we're doing something similar.
We created a REST endpoint with tynamo-resteasy which is effectively a load balancer health check. On the first hit it starts the warmup process on the same request, following requests return an error instantly if the initial warmup routine is still in progress. Our warmup logic is heavily based on tapestry internals & reflection, in conjunction with eager loading services as described here: https://gist.github.com/dmitrygusev/5562739 Warmup logic is a bit complicated, it's trying to: - "touch" each page using ComponentClassResolver.getPageNames() - recursively for each component with mixins on a page starting from root component, > find imported assets via reflection (fields with names starting as `importedAssets_`) > stream each asset via `StreamableResourceSource` into no-op consumer - find JS modules with `ModuleManager` and stream through no-op consumer - every JS stack returned from `JavaScriptStackSource` assemble with `JavaScriptStackAssembler` and stream through no-op consumer - repeat above for each locale/axis Entire process usually takes 3-5 minute in our setup. After it's done we return 200 to the load balancer and the first real request is handled with hot caches.
