Space Admin loads slowly for large spaces

XMLWordPrintable

      For spaces with thousands of pages, the Space Admin loads slowly. Page load performance decreases drastically in spaces with >5000 pages (in local testing, it was about a seven second load time).

      The editspace.action invokes the EditSpaceEntryAction.class, which makes a getPages() call:

      public class EditSpaceEntryAction extends AbstractEditSpaceAction
{
    public List getAvailablePages()
    {
        if ((availablePages == null) && (getSpace() != null))
        {
            availablePages = new ArrayList(pageManager.getPages(getSpace(), true));
            Page blankPageAtTop = new Page();
            blankPageAtTop.setTitle("");
            availablePages.add(0, blankPageAtTop); // Give user the option not to select any home page
        }
        Collections.sort(availablePages);

        return availablePages;
    }

    public void setSpaceManager()
    {
    }
}

      This is done to populate the set Home Page drop-down. The current approach does not scale well and an alternative means of populating that filed OR settings the Home Page would be ideal.

            I tested this, generated 1000 pages, auto complete works well

            A drop down works okay for spaces with maybe 20-30 pages, but after that it gets ugly. When there are 25,000+ pages a drop-down is crippling (we have two actual spaces that big). Autocomplete/search would be okay for big spaces, but a little painful for small spaces. Confluence could display different UI widgets based on the page count – assuming getting the space page count is a fast operation.

            We should offer an autocomplete text field to select the home page, rather than a drop-down list of all pages in the space. An example of such a space-specific page title autocomplete can be seen on the "Known Location" tab of the move page dialog.

            A patch was written for CSP-55398 (not publicly viewable) that will bypass the getPages() call but breaks the ability to set the home page. The workaround is details in this KB article:
