Re: Dynamic generation of static html pages

[Andr� van Toly]

Hi,
I've created once a HTML-site from an existing 
MMBase site 
<http://www.teleac.nl/zorgenvoorjeouders/index.html> 
by using the Unix tool 'wget' (*) with which you 
can grab sites. It is real easy when you refrain 
from using Javascripts to pop-up windows etc. 
because wget can only follow 'real' links.

(*) I really used DeepVacuum 
<http://www.hexcat.com/deepvacuum/index.html>, a 
Mac OS X gui frontend to wget.

Sorry if my previous e-mail was to vague.
I am using MMBase as my content management system for the web site that I am
building. The website will primarily contain  articles, announcements, and
news items. Once the articles and news items are written, they rarely will
ever be changed or updated. Therefore, I would like the ability for some of
the articles and news items to be static pages (improved performance). I was
inquiring as to whether MMBase has an builit in feature that would allowed
for dynamic generation of static html pages. Perhaps even a feature that
would also determine if the stored content (database) is in sync with the
static representation, and if not re-generate the page.
There is a hint over the web that this is possible with some CMS, however
their are php based.
If you have any suggestions or know of a tool that produced similar results
I would greatly appreciate it.

 MMBase is used different way's (even to create cdrom's). the most used
frontend for mmbase are jsp's with taglibs
 usualy mmbase sites do not "produce" html but are dynamic of nature. sites
with high trafic are placed behind a
 caching front-proxy (http://www.nu.nl/) and use oscache when only parts of
the html pages a dynamic.
 I don't know what you want. but if I needed to publish html and other
media I would use cocoon http://cocoon.apache.org/ as frontend to mmbase
 it can produce full html sites or even genereate jsp's.
