For those who want to stay all java.. Take a look at Java PHP Implementation that Caucho has done in Resin. http://wiki.caucho.com/Quercus:_Drupal
You can run Drupal in Resin and stay all java at the end of the day, if you prefer. Thanks Rob.. will give it a whirl. Paul On 9/17/06, Robert Douglass <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi all, I wanted to bring to your attention two Drupal modules which provide a way for you to integrate Nutch with Drupal. If you've never heard of it, Drupal is a pretty decent PHP framework (sometimes called a CMS) which is also very developer friendly. The first module is a client for OpenSearch RSS. This lets you have a search form in your Drupal site that can use Nutch (or any other OpenRSS provider) as the search backend. http://drupal.org/project/opensearchclient The second module is a Nutch integration module that allows you to control the Nutch crawl/index lifecycle from your Drupal admin interface: http://drupal.org/project/nutch It is mostly just a set of bash scripts which can be triggered from within Drupal. There is a lot of room for further development in this module and I'd be most happy to get more Nutch experts working on it. Anyway, perhaps some of you will find these modules useful. Cheers, Robert Douglass PS. There is also an OpenSearchClient module which produces OpenSearch RSS from Drupal's own search results, opening up the possibility of having one site be the search provider for another. http://drupal.org/project/opensearch
