I have been having a lot of problems getting a section of my application working within the RIFE framework. What I have as part of my top level menu is an element that reads some XML data from a remote server and stores it in a Postgresql database. I have implemented most of this logic in a backend class.
I am using the dom4j library for doing the reading of the remote data and parsing it (I am open to other suggestions - I'm not going to insist on using this!). The problem is that even the simplest attempt to read from a remote server results in no activity and eventually a class cast exception from somewhere deep in dom4j. I have verified that the particular code I'm using works fine outside of a RIFE framework (I have used it a number of times in other apps). I certainly don't expect anyone on this list to debug dom4j for me! What I feel I'm be missing is the RIFE way of fetching XML data from a remote URL and storing it in a database table. Perhaps by defining a datasource in config or something like that. I don't find any examples of this kind of thing and find it difficult to separate out what might be useful from bare bones Javadoc. Can anyone help? David Herbert. _______________________________________________ Rife-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.uwyn.com/mailman/listinfo/rife-users
