The DistributorSender is an instance of atg.distributor.DistributorSender. It opens connections to each host in its serverList property. The DistributorSender has the following properties that you might want to configure:

Property Name

Description

serverList

A comma-separated list of hosts of DistributorServer components. Include an entry for each HTTP server in your site.

cacheLocally

When a file is sent, should it also be cached locally?

Default is true

documentRoot

The local document root.

documentRootCachePath

The directory in the remote HTTP server’s document root that should be used to store all the cached content. For example if the remote HTTP server’s document root is at /work/www/doc and documentRootCachePath is set to DIST_CONTENT then the DistributerReceiver creates a directory named /work/www/doc/DIST_CONTENT to hold cached content sent by the DistributorSender.

createCacheDirectories

Create any directories that do not already exist in the remote cache.

Default is true

contentItemNameProperty

The repository item property to use in generating a file name for a content item. See Generating a File Name for more details.

remoteServerCache

A local cache of items that the DistributorSender has sent to the remote servers. See RemoteServerCache.

minReconnectInterval

If the DistributorSender fails to connect, it tries again after this interval.

Default is 120000 milliseconds, or 2 minutes.
