Why WQS stream out image instead of static file

Why WQS streams out the images instead of publishing, then writing out the images to file system so that Apache can get those images since streaming out the images directly from alfresco will be big concern for performance purpose? Thanks.

We are working on functionality to allow files to be deployed to a file system, but in the meantime I suggest that you place your binaries in a particular section ("/images", for example), and configure a reverse proxy cache in front of your JEE web container (Tomcat, for instance) with appropriate caching config on that path.

In my spare time I am also working on a more intelligent caching mechanism that will cache binaries in the web tier but automatically detect when a cached entity needs to be refreshed. Similar to what is done with the asset metadata and asset collections.

Thanks. Please let us know once cache and write out to file system functions done
