A system and method for provisioning dynamically generated content. One embodiment can interface a content delivery system and a content management system at the fragment level. Depending upon how a page is organized, a fragment may refer to a block within the page, a portion of the page, or a content item presented on the page. When a content item is updated and published onto the content management system, one embodiment can operate to track dependencies of managed pages and invalidate/validate fragment(s) affected by the change(s) accordingly. The updated fragment(s) may then be dynamically assembled on-the-fly or on-demand. The updated fragment(s) may or may not be cached. In this way, changes made to a piece of content can be reflected in all pages which utilize this content almost simultaneously with the changes to the content itself. |

1. A method for fragment-level dynamic content generation, the method comprising:
tracking dependencies among page fragments, the tracking performed by a server computer supporting a network site on a network; receiving, from a client device communicatively connected to the network, a request for a web page; determining, by the server computer, a set of page fragments for the web page such that the web page is specifically tailored to the request from the client device, the set of page fragments containing a first page fragment and a second page fragment; determining, by the server computer and based on the dependencies tracked among the page fragments, whether a content change to the network site affects any of the page fragments, the page fragments comprising the set of page fragments for the web page; when the content change to the network site is determined to affect the first page fragment but not the second page fragment of the web page, dynamically re-generating the first page fragment to produce an updated first page fragment; dynamically generating the web page utilizing the set of page fragments specifically tailored to the request from the client device, wherein the dynamically generated web page comprises the second page fragment and the updated first page fragment to account for the content change to the network site; and in response to the request from the client device, providing the dynamically generated web page to the client device over the network. |
