Hi all! I'd like to tell you, that I like the design by APACHE-XML-FORREST team very much and I'd like to see the Ant site in the same design. For I am not very familiar with XSLT, not willing to change our XML-Files and I have certain knowledge of Velocity/Anakia/VTL I've spend some time today to convert our vsl's to generate html-pages, that look like they've been Forrest-generated. I hope the Forrest team can forgive me ;-).
You can take a look at first results on a private homepage, where I've loaded it up to: http://www.jgui.org/fakeforrest/index.html (beware of some broken links there ;)) If you want to test it with Velocity: I've appended a ZIP with containing the necessary files. It should work with nearly any Anakia xdocs on Apache and Jakarta, but I've just tested with our ant-xdocs. Some minor things have to be fixed, though! :) This approach has certain advantages and disadvantages to be discussed: + We do not have to change ANY of our website xml documents + We have the nice Forrest-design in no time - It's NOT Forrest and it's not as flexible (e.g. PDF-Creation) And some I can't think of ATM: It's 3:33 AM :) *yawn* I see this just as a first step in migrating to Forrest - what do you think? Have fun! Chris
