XpathDirectoryGenerator too weak, so...?

[Mark Lundquist <ml...@comcast.net>]

Sorry, I couldn't think of a better title for this post... I guess it's 
better than "oh bother..." :-)

Anyway, here's What I'm Trying To Do:

I've got a directory structure that looks like this

	projects/
		foo.page/
			source.xml
		bar.page/
			source.xml
		static/

projects/foo.page/source.xml gets transformed in the pipeline that 
serves "projects/foo".  The source documents contain a title (pretend 
it's <html/head/title>... it's not really, but — same idea).

So I want to generate this markup:

	<a href="foo">new and improved foo page</a>
	<a href="bar">all you ever wanted to know about bar</a>


It seems like this ought to be easy enough to do, but... I'm having 
trouble putting all the pieces together.  I don't think 
XpathDirectoryGenerator by itself is enough, because it can only look 1 
level deep.  I had a feeling that XMLFileInputModule could maybe help 
somehow, but... I'm not seeing it.  (I'm not at the top of my game 
today though... tired brain :-).

I'm thinking of adding a 'recursive' parameter to 
XpathDirectoryGenerator.  But am I missing some other way to do it?

thx,

NOT! (Re: XpathDirectoryGenerator too weak, so...?)

d'oh... yeah, I just figured it out :-)  XPathDirectoryGenerator 
extends DirectoryGenerator, so it has 'depth' too.  It's working now 
:-)

The plain DirectoryGenerator has a depth parameter you can pass.  If
you dont' need the features of the XPathDirectoryGenerator, you could
just use the DirectoryGenerator.
