This would be awesome. This is exactly what I was going to start working
on. I'm assuming that the parser code would implement this interface, so I
just need to create an instance of the parser and call invoke on it. If
that's true, I don't need to have any knowledge of the Jython API, just
this interface. That would be a good thing :-)
The only thing I would suggest adding is a callback function that updates
the caller with info on where the spider is at, i.e. total pages plucked,
number of pages in queue. Maybe something like
public interface SpiderListener {
void update(int numberPagesPlucked, int numberPagesInQueue);
// maybe even something like?
void startPage(String currentURL);
}
Then add this to your interface
void addSpiderCallback(SpiderListener listener)
I would love to alpha or even pre-alpha test this. There's some
significant work I need to do to the conduit to add this in that has
nothing to do with your code, but I can't get anything running without your
code to call.
Bill, I also got your email regarding the pluckit code. I was going to
start looking at that to determine what to do to call this from Java, but
now I'll wait for your update.

PS I hope I'm not in violation of the new mailing list standards, i.e. I
hope this doesn't come through as html mail.
