Abstract

An information processing apparatus, which provides a WEB page of an application program in response to a request, comprises a request unit configured to issue a request of a page to the application program before a request to the page via a network is received, and a management unit configured to compile the page in response to the request of the page by the request unit, and to hold and manages the compiled page in a cache.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus, which provides a WEB page of an application program in response to a request, comprising:

a request unit configured to issue a request of a page to the application program before a request to the page via a network is received; and

a management unit configured to compile the page in response to the request of the page by said request unit, and to hold and manages the compiled page in a cache.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said request unit operates as a function of a scheduler which controls to execute tasks of the application program according to a schedule, and

the scheduler issues the request of the page to the application program.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein when a request of a page is transferred to the application program via a network and the page is held in the cache, the cached page is provided to a terminal connected to said information processing apparatus.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an authentication unit configured to execute authentication processing of said request unit when said request unit requests a page that requires user authentication.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein when said request unit detects restart of the application program, said request unit issues again a request of a page provided by the application program.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an access tally unit configured to tally access frequencies to pages,

wherein said request unit requests a page having a high access frequency of pages provided by the application program.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said access tally unit tallies access frequencies for pages which are required to be compiled.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said access tally unit tallies access frequencies for respective directories where pages are allocated.

9. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein when a page provided by the application program is newly added, said request unit preferentially requests the newly added page.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for controlling a computer to function as respective units of claim 1.

10. A control method of an information processing apparatus, which provides a WEB page of an application program in response to a request, comprising:

a request step of issuing a request of a page to the application program before a request to the page via a network is received; and

a management step of compiling the page in response to the request of the page in the request step, and holding and managing the compiled page in a cache.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein in the request step, a function of a scheduler which controls to execute tasks of the application program according to a schedule is operated, and

the scheduler issues the request of the page to the application program.

12. The method according to claim 10, wherein when a request of a page is transferred to the application program via a network and the page is held in the cache, the cached page is provided to a terminal connected to the information processing apparatus.

13. The method according to claim 10, further comprising an authentication step of executing authentication processing when a page that requires user authentication is requested in the request step.

14. The method according to claim 10, wherein in the request step, when restart of the application program is detected, a request of a page provided by the application program is requested again.

15. The method according to claim 10, further comprising an access tally step of tallying access frequencies to pages,

wherein in the request step, a page having a high access frequency of pages provided by the application program is requested.

16. The method according to claim 15, wherein in the access tally step, access frequencies for pages which are required to be compiled are tallied.

17. The method according to claim 15, wherein in the access tally step, access frequencies for respective directories where the pages are allocated are tallied.

18. The method according to claim 10, wherein in the request step, when a page provided by the application program is newly added, the newly added page is preferentially requested.
