Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I found one article from javaworld that explains and describes what I would like to do. There is also a very trivial example that I can learn from. I think I will have to implement this feature. There is no tool out there that can easily do this.
For thos who are interested the article can be found at: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2002/jw-0419-event.html _Curtney ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ernst Bunders" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 1:56 AM Subject: RE: Dynamic generation of static html pages hello Curtney what you could do is to install tomcat as a module inside apache. then you install the apache caching module(s) and configure those to regenerate pages at an interval of your choice.
