FOUR-18994 Improve Webentry API endpoints performance [SUMMER]

[caleeli]

Performance Improvement required for WebEntry endpoints

The following main points were improved:

• Submit a webentry form api/1.0/webentry/requests/1076/node_35/submit
• Load and render the screen in web entry: /api/1.0/webentry/tasks/11695/screen?include=screen,nested

This were taking many time compared the rest of endpoints.

• Compared to the total time (submit + script task execution + routing + screen rendering)
• submit (1.04s): its timing represents 33% of all the time.
• render screen (1.75s): 45% of all the time
• script + routing (0.78): 21% of the time

Issue & Reproduction Steps

WebEntry endpoints are slow.
This was caused by two features:

• Sanitize data when a webentry (task) is submited
• Get screen with nested screens

Solution

• Implement a Screen Cache for screens and nested screens.
• This cache stores a screen by process, by language and by version
• The cache is cleared when a process translation is updated or the screen is modified.

How to Test

• Run a web entry like Expenses process
• You will see a cache was created for the web entry task screens
• Any time the screen is updated the cache is cleared
