Hi Droids list ! After a speak during the Lenya meeting with Senior Thorsten (Olé !:) ), I would like to have more informations about droids.
I know that droids is not only a web crawler (and I would like to use it for other think), but my immediate need is about crawling... So let's go : I would like to pass to droids an xml like (just an example) : <article> <droids:url>http://example.com/test.html</droids:url> <title> <droids:xpath>html/body/d...@id='content']/d...@id='title']/h1</droids:xpath> </title> <firstparagraph> <droids:xpath>html/body/d...@id='content']/d...@id='article']/p[position()=1]</droids:xpath> </firstparagraph> <othertext> <droids:xpath>html/body/d...@id='content']/d...@id='article']/p[position()>1]</droids:xpath> </othertext> </article> and that droids give me someting like : <article> <title> this is the article title </article> <firstparagraph> This article is about the....</firstparagraph> <othertext>bla bla bla bla bla...</othertext> </article> So my questions are : 1) It's possible ? 2) If yes, I will have to (think that I'm not a java's SuperStar) : a) install droids, type 2 commands lines, and let's go (1 hour work) b) install droids, really understand understand how droids work, code some classes (3 weeks work) c) install droids, create a class from existing one, doing some try error (4-5 days work) d) ... 3) It's difficult to plug droids into a Lenya (based on cocoon) app ? Thanks for your answer, Regards
