Ahhh very cool, did not realize that one. I was actually able to use
a db entity over the http entity so I pulled a list of subdomains and
include it that way.
One small *possible* feature request (or is it possible already) is to
load entities by name? For example if I wanted to cron up something
like:
?command=delta-import&entity=newyork,chicago,etc
Im guessing this is something that would be possible using
javax.script but Im on 5 and ScriptProcessor does not seem to work w/
BSF. It would be nice to have something like that *without* having to
add anything like a conditional tag.

Hi,
On the wiki it says that url attribute can be templatized but Im
not sure
how that happens, do you I need to create something read from a
database
column in order to use that type of function? ie Id like to run
over some
RSS feeds for multiple URLs (~ 30), do I need to copy 1 per URL I
want to
read or is there an easier method?
It is a simple passthrough of parameters you passed over to the http
request.
eg:
If you want to read a feed with say an extra attribute (date) which
you will know in runtime
you can make the http request with command=full-import&date=some_date.
The date can be consumed in the url as
url="http://xyz.com?a=b&thedate=${dataimporter.request.date}
if you could give me a sample on how the diffrent urls look like I may
be able to suggest you something. Actually there are many ways to
achieve it.
Also does anything currently get compared when doing a delta-import
for
these types of data sources? Does the dataimport.properties
compare itself
to anything? (ie a pubdate on RSS, etc).
Thanks!
