Dynamic to static conversion
Hi, A friend of mine has asked me to help him build an eBay store. So I need to build a bunch of static pages. I think that it is still a good idea to do so programmatically (the only way I know how to do it!) through jsp. Do you agree? How would I then convert pseudo-dynamic pages to static in an automated fashion? Or if you have any other ideas or experiences, please share! Many thanks in advance, Dola __ Do You Yahoo!?

Build the site with jsp (or whatever) and then use wget --mirror (or some similar command) to spider the site as static pages. -Tim Dola Woolfe wrote: Hi, A friend of mine has asked me to help him build an eBay store.

Re: Dynamic to static conversion
There is no reason I can think of to build static pages dynamically. I know what you are asying, but it makes little sense, I think. However, if you want to get the static equivalent of a dynamic page, all you have to do is to build a little application browser which gets the output of your pages and saves them. You can get the code for doing this pretty much from the COS message classes. Jack On 4/29/05, Dola Woolfe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, A friend of mine has asked me to help him build an eBay store.

RE: Dynamic to static conversion
Hi Dola, A strategy you could employ is the following. All data for your items can be held in a persistence store of some kind (DB, XML). For each product build an XML representation and then use XSLT to convert each item to a html file. Then when requesting to view an item you can build up a Struts template (Or whatever technology your prefer ;o) ) and insert the static file, wrapping round it all your dynamics (Shopping cart, account details etc). When ever an item is updated you can simply redo the translation. An added benefit is that if you wish to search the content you have static html files you can search using Lucene (Or whatever technology your prefer ;o) ) and you know you are only searching the content, not any of the 'wrapping' of a page. I have used this strategy for my sites and it is very inexpensive in so far as the html for the item is done for you. No runtime presentation logic is required. -Original Message- From: Dakota Jack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 April 2005 14:48 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Dynamic to static conversion There is no reason I can think of to build static pages dynamically.

Thank you very much. A very good plan, I think. --- Mark Benussi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Dola, A strategy you could employ is the following.
