Ron, I see now. Let's put it this way:
1- obtain the static contents, and create a portlet for each section,
including navigation menus. Define these portlets in the registry and
wrap it in a war file.
2- In jetspeed create PSML pages to hold each portlet you want
including the menus. If you change any page, then just recreate the
war and deploy it. This will affect only the changed contents.
Cool up to this point, but then there's two questions here. If I have
an existing website that consists of many pages, creating a portlet
for each section is a time consuming task. Let's say I have a site of
50 pages only, with navigation and news. Then I will have to create
52 portlet, and then create the corresponding PSML. Isn't this time
consuming ?
Assuming that it takes 10 minutes to do each one, you are up to a
couple of days.
There are probably way to make this even faster.
What are these easier ways? That's what I am after, LOOOL.
The second question: The existing pages already has links between
them that links from html to html. In this case I need to know in
advance the href for the PSML file. For example, if I have a page
called news.html and it has a link to another page called
news-1234.html, then I have to update the links to
pages/news/recent/news-1234.psml (assuming that the contents of
news-1234.html is going to be in pages/news/recent/news-1234.psml).
Again, isn't this a time consuming task, and don't I have to know in
advance the name of every psml page and what html page it's going to
hold.
see now my problems ?
How did you make the links in the first place without knowing the names
of the referenced pages?
I think you got this wrong. I know the names of the pages I am linking
to, but I mean I have to change the links from linking to html page to a
link to psml. So basically I still have to do a lot of editing in the
html part.
Make a small list of the existing pages before you start. Design a
naming convention that maps the new pages to the existing structure.
