Your connector should expect whatever format the server gives you. Many task repositories return XML. The XML format is normally different for each repository. For example, the Jira connector knows how to parse the XML returned from the Jira web services. The Jira web service response format is not the same as the Trac XML format. In fact, it appears that Jira uses SOAP-based web services, and Trac uses XML-RPC. And some task repositories don't even return XML. Your connector just has to figure out how to handle whatever the repository returns. You might be scraping HTML output or dealing with some custom structured format. > Is this correct?

Maybe you should start by saying what you're trying to do and how you were hoping to do it. -- Tom Bryan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cisco Systems _______________________________________________ mylyn-integrators mailing list [email protected] https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/mylyn-integrators
