 public long generateKey() 
{
        return 0;
}

Generates the unique key. This key must be unique inside the space of this component. Users may override this method to take advantage of SAX event cacheing

 public CacheValidity generateValidity() 
{
        if (hasContentChanged(request))
            return null;
        else
            return NOPCacheValidity.CACHE_VALIDITY;
}

Generate the validity object.

 public Serializable getKey() 
{
        return null;
}

Generate the unique key. This key must be unique inside the space of this component. This method must be invoked before the generateValidity() method.

 public SourceValidity getValidity() 
{
        if (hasContentChanged(request))
            return null;
        else
            return NOPValidity.SHARED_INSTANCE;
}

Generate the validity object. Before this method can be invoked the generateKey() method must be invoked.

 public boolean hasContentChanged(Request request) 
{
      return true;
}

Determines whether generated content has changed since last invocation. Users may override this method to take advantage of SAX event cacheing

 public boolean modifiedSince(long date) 
{
        if (date == 0 || dateCreated <  date) {
            return true;
        }
        for (int i = 0; i <  dependencies.length; i++) {
            if (dateCreated <  dependencies[i].lastModified()) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
}

Determines whether this generator's source files have changed

 public  void recompose(ComponentManager manager) throws ComponentException 
{

Recompose with the actual ComponentManager that should be used.

 protected  void start(String name,
    AttributesImpl attr) throws SAXException
