Webgateway cache - default location

[wmoore]

Need to have the webgateway cache turned on by default, instead of requiring users to specify a location.

Anyone got any good ideas for default location?!

I think the path does support relative paths, and directories are created if they don't exist.

I would think a new directory under "var/" would be fine, Will. On Linux, applications create a subdirectory under "var/cache", so perhaps var/cache/webgateway ?

[wmoore]

This is a relative path, right?
So the cache is in dist/lib/python/omeroweb/var/cache/webgateway ?

[jmoore]

No server should write anywhere other than under OMERO_HOME/var/ (in this case dist/var). The web services start under lib/python/omeroweb due to:

    def start(self, args):
        import omeroweb.settings as settings
        link = ("%s:%s" % (settings.APPLICATION_SERVER_HOST,
                           settings.APPLICATION_SERVER_PORT))
        location = self.ctx.dir / "lib" / "python" / "omeroweb"

So the logging code will need to go up 3 directories to self.ctx.dir and then down to var/cache/webgateway or if that's to be defined in OmeroPy/src/omero/plugins/web.py somehow:

self.ctx.dir / "var" / "cache" / "webgateway"

Unfortunately we are not able to provide omeroweb caching by default because WebGatewayCache? class is only working on unix machines. This ticket will become a story and needs to be reviewed in the nearest future
