Custom HTML source
Hello,
Following the example in the documentation, I've added a custom
pipeline to support rendering existing HTML sources within the local
Forrest installation. The pattern match works and the HTML is skinned.
The problem is that I can't get the transformation to process the
intermediate file. Here is the relevant pipeline:
<map:pipeline>
<map:match pattern="/old/*.xml">
<map:generate src="{project:content.xdocs}{uri}.html" type="html"/>
<map:transform src="{project:resources.stylesheets}/fixoldhtml.xsl"/>
<map:transform src="{forrest:stylesheets}/html2document.xsl"/>
<map:transform type="idgen"/>
<map:serialize type="xml-document"/>
</map:match>
</map:pipeline>
fixoldhtml.xsl is the stylesheet I made to remove the navigational
markup from the old site, as the documentation describes. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brian

I haven't been able to figure out why this is the case. I'll keep
looking. Thanks for the help getting the pipeline to work.

Thanks. I think it's a mistake here
http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/howto/howto-custom-html-source.html

I have no components section in my local sitemap. When I comment out
the references to jtidy.properties in the core forrest.xmap and core
sitemap.xmap, the local pipeline works, including the transformation.

Your Generator needs to be
<map:generate src="{project:content.xdocs}/old/{1}.html" type="html"/>
Ross' other comments are still relevant, about why
you are redefining the Generator in the <compoents> section.

I think that you are heading in the wrong direction.
Did you see my reply eariler today?

Also i don't know what you are referring to with
"file-resolver". There is no such thing in my
forrest sitemaps either.
Ah, your mention of "documentation" gave a hint.
http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/howto/howto-custom-html-source.html
is probably out-of-date.
Also i think that that document is too complex
for what you need. It tries to explain everything.
As far i can can see you need a very simple pipeline.

I'm not defining the generator. The pipeline I referenced is the only
thing in the sitemap. Looking through the documentation again, I
noticed the forrest.xmap I have does not define a resource named
file-resolver. I'll look into this and possibly reinstall Forrest.

Ahh, yes, I missed that on first reading.

You are defining the HTML generator in your own sitemap? You only need
to do that if you want to provide your own configuration. If you remove
the HTML generator from the components section of your sitemap it will
use the one in the core of Forrest and will use the properties from
there (I think).
If this doesn't work please post the sitemap snippet configuring your
html generator.

I'm off to bed now, will look again in the morning if the above does not
solve your problem.

Thanks for the reply.
1) The pipeline is in SEEDED_SITE/src/documentation/sitemap.xmap
2) The HTML is in SEEDED_SITE/src/documentation/content/xdocs/old
3) The request is http://localhost:8888/old/about.html
I've changed the pattern from "/old/*.xml" to "old/*.xml" and I think
the pipeline is being processed. In core.log I get "Cannot load
configuration from WEB-INF/jtidy.properties" so I copied this file
from the Forrest installation to SEEDED_SITE/build/webapp/WEB-INF. I
still get that error in core.log. Thanks for looking into this.

Your pipeline is not being processed. Let me ask a few questions to work
out why (I'll also say what the answers should be, in most circumstances).
1) in what file have you placed the above pipeline?
2) where is your HTML source located?
3) what is the request you are making with your browser to retrieve this
document?

I think the problem is the match pattern after all. I get the same
results when I delete the project sitemap. I'll continue modifying the
pattern to see what I get.
