Sounds good. Better than my name. I'll switch. > There are two levels to Main.java functionality: > 1. Process one request > 2.

I agree with you on your two levels of functionality. And I agree that I have reproduced the second. This is not because that is what I want, it is rather because that is all I have been able to work out how to do as yet. I have not found finding my way around the Main.java code very easy so far. But I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. I would suggest: cocoon.processTargets(); to process multiple targets, including recursion, and: cocoon.processPage(URI, outputStream); Would achieve the two functions that you refer to. I would also like to suggest the following: cocoon.configureFTP(host, port, user, pass, rootPath, folderStripCount); cocoon.processTargets(); The configureFTP has set up the details for the FTP server, including the root path for the files on the server, and also details how many folder names should be stripped from the front of a file path when it is sent to the server, such that: cocoon:/sites/books/authors/smith.html, having a folder strip count of 1 would send up the page as books/authors/smith.html. Because the configureFTP function has been called, the processTargets() would automatically do an FTP send as well as saving to disk. Therefore, there are three functionalities that would be useful from a bean: 1) Have a page returned to the supplied output stream 2) Have a page saved or a site spidered and saved to the local disk. 3) Have a page saved or a site spidered and saved locally, and then sent to a remote FTP server (making use of locally stored checksums to prevent unnecessary uploading work). Make sense? Regards, Upayavira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
