Perl, or shell would be easiest. If you want to keep location-independence (list URLs, not file paths), you could write a servlet that returns a list of directory contents as XML. Then use Ant's <get> to retrieve the XML listing, <style> to transform it into a Latka XML file, and off you go. > I was getting somewhat ahead of myself with the "meta" decription, but I was > thinking the filtering could get more advanced so that I included "*.jsp" > and "*.html", but excluded everything in "/include" since those pages are > not directly called.

Anyone else working on these kind of validators? XML validation should be very easy (XPath does it for free). Link checking might need the JTidy one's capabilities first. AFAIK, no-one is working on them. --Jeff > Serge Knystautas > Loki Technologies - Unstoppable Websites > http://www.lokitech.com/ > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jeff Turner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Jakarta Commons Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 5:34 PM > Subject: Re: Latka notes > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
