Abstract
Methods, systems, computer program products, and methods of doing business by caching dynamic content fragments in a distributed cache and assembling requested content using these fragments. The disclosed techniques are non-invasive, and enable the benefits of distributed fragment caching to be extended to more applications, without regard to the programming model used when designing the application. An application developer specifies dependencies among content creating components (or, in alternative embodiments, it may be possible to infer this information), and if one of these components may be called upon to generate a content fragment dynamically, correlator data is programmatically created and attached to a message that references the component. A subsequent content generation request to the component then automatically carries the correlator data, and that data is programmatically restored.
