[xwiki-dev] Dynamic Page to Static Page

[Robin Fernandes]

Hi,

There's probably several ways to do this... the first one that comes
to my mind is to write an XML-RPC client to grab the rendered content
from one page and save it back into another. Then set up a cron job to
kick off your XML-RPC client periodically. A simple implementation of
the XML-RPC client is below.

Alternatively you could write the code to do the copy in a groovy
script in another XWiki document and hit it periodically.
