DPM cache duplication and FURL format issue

Response from Vignette about issues with DPM cache duplication and FURL format issue:

G’day,
Sorry that it has taken a little time to get back to you on these issues. I wanted to make to confirm my answers with the right ginger beers before replying

We have fixed the issue below in the productized version of furl.

You asked about 2 other things

1. The issue of duplicating the cache per-pre-loaded site. This behaviours remains the same

2. Support for Formats in only 1 of the two mappers. This behaviour is also the same , although we fixed a general problem with query parameters being stripped urls. So if you pass in a format as a query param we will honour it, you could use that as a workaround


The original query:

I wanted to ask for some input on a FURL issue that I am having concerning
formats.
The issue comes up when 2 templates share a common component on a channel
(for example: I have an image query component
on each presentation template) then it will use the default presentation
template's value instead of the format's.

Example:
I have a Channel named "Home Entertainment", that has 2 formats:
- default (Product Page)
- Support (Support Page)

both of these templates have a common image query component with different
values:
- default: Get Image From Channel [currentChannel]
- Support: Get Image From Channel Home > Support

when I use the following URL it displays the correct Layout but uses the
query
component value from the default template (Shows the image from
currentChannel
instead of Support).

/PUSA/Products/ch.Home+Entertainment.Support

however if I add the vgnextfmt variable to the URL it uses the correct
components.

/PUSA/Products/ch.Home+Entertainment.Support?vgnextfmt=Support

is this a known issue? is there a quick fix that you are aware of?

Let me know if you need more information on this.
