When is your deadline and exactly what do you need Forrest to output by
that date? Unless you are a long way down the road with your scraping
code I would suggest that using the plugin woud be faster for you as it
only involves writing stylesheets to provide the required output format.
Well, that's not wuite true, there is some Java code that needs writing
too, but the framework is in place so the code needed is pretty much
"standard fare", such as creating the XML representatin of each bean as
a string.
We leave for an extended business trip 18 July. The powers that be would
like to see the catalog done before we leave.
I'm sorry I failed to mention that I'm now using
whiteboard/org.apache.forrest.plugin.Database to generate the data.
Thank you for pointing out that it is possible, and better, to access
the back end directly.
I can't put the code in our SVN as it uses Hibernate which is LGPL. I
can make it available in a private repository, and move it into a
plugins project on sourceforge when it is set up.
I get an error running the Hibernate example, java.sql.SQLException:
Duplicate entry. That sounds like an issue with the test data, so I
think the installation is fine. I haven't yet grasped how to add it into
the mix.
