Hey Kenney, Did you make any progress on this.
A couple of things about reports definitely need to be sorted out in 2.1 - this is one of them.

Hi, I'm trying to implement a multi-page report. The problem is that currently the ReportDocumentRenderer from maven-site-plugin creates the SiteRendererSink and calls report.generate(sink,locale). There's no way to create more SiteRendererSinks within the report, because those sinks are from a different classloader. You can't use the SiteRenderer component to create sinks because of the same reason. The only way I see to support multiple pages for reports without running into classloading issues is to give a SinkFactory to the MavenReport instance - a SinkFactory from the maven-reporting-api, if possible, otherwise from the Doxia api. I believe that Report plugins should only implement/work with a Maven reporting api, not with underlying libraries, if possible. A 'main' sink for the report page could (still) be supplied. Thoughts? I'm currently working on a solution in trunk.. -- Kenney ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2006 17:35:58 +0200 (CEST) From: Kenney Westerhof <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: dev@maven.apache.org Subject: multi-page reports Hi, I'm trying to create a multi-page report. I use the main sink to render an overview page, and use the SiteRenderer to create a sink for each page. Unfortunately no files are created. I looked at the doxia api and it has some methods for rendering pages using velocity merging. Unfortunately I don't have a SiteRenderingContext object handy, so I can't call the public (or private) methods. In maven-reporting-impl I saw an AbstractMavenMultiPageReport class but it is not used anywhere. Anybody got an idea on how to render multiple pages in a report? I cannot create a separate mojo for the pages - it renders a page for each file in a given set of source files. When this issue is resolved I'll post a request for adding a new plugin to the mojo project. -- Kenney --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
