JR43715: CMVC 223569 - MAKE SURE THAT BREADCRUMB IS CACHED PROPERLY & CHANGING CURRENCY IN SEARCH RESULTS PAGE WILL REFLECT ON PAGE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Two caching related problems exist in the Aurora starter store:
  1. Breadcrumb entries are not cached correctly even though its
  marked as a cacheable entry in cachespec.xml
  2. Changing the currency in search results page will not reflect
  on a previously cached page. The new currency is displayed at
  all other places except the search results page, which displays
  the results in old currency.
  

Local fix

• To fix this issue, you can apply the changes manually to the
  cachespec.xml file for Aurora.
  
  1.  Open cachespec.xml (Stores.war/web-inf/cachespec.xml) with
  your an editor.
  
  2a. To fix the issue with Breadcrumb, search for cache entry
  with
  "<name>/AuroraStorefrontAssetStore/Widgets/BreadCrumb/BreadCrumb
  .jsp</name>" and add this property
  
    <property name="consume-subfragments">true</property>
  
  2b.  To fix the issue with currency not changing in search
  results page, search for cache entry with
  "<name>/AuroraStorefrontAssetStore/Widgets/CatalogEntry/CatalogE
  ntryDisplay.jsp</name>" and add this component at the end
                 <component id="DC_curr" type="attribute">
     <required>true</required>
    </component>
