Creating a URL map

A URL map is a list of URLs or shell-style match expressions that define a URL set.

About this task

Incoming or cached documents can be evaluated against the match expressions in the map to determine whether the document is granted specific processing. For example, an XML manager might reference one or more URL maps. URL maps determine whether a cached stylesheet is refreshed periodically or whether it is subject to a compile options policy.
