Hi Eduard,
Thanks for the explanation and the links.
I am not looking for the Java way since we already have a XML exporter in
place that is exporting the information in our environment (which is
heavily object based) in a way that can be used by third parties. This is
the way we are looking for a more final solution. We were looking for an
easy and quick (intermediate) solution to bridge the gap so to speak.
The strange thing is, that I use google to search extensively for things
before i ask for info in this group. I was somewhat surprised to see the
link (no 7) which is exactly what I needed! I thank you again for the help
and I’m sorry that I have not been able to find it myself.
We always are in need of and appreciate any help on the documentation side.
If you feel you could add anything that could make it easier to understand
or even easier to find on a Google search, please go ahead. It`s a wiki and
you are welcomed to edit away :)
Thanks,
Eduard

Hi Peter,
Of course, though you might want to think a bit on the approach.
1) If you want to do it in XWiki using the scheduler plugin, you have to
write some groovy script [1] in the scheduled task that you create in
order
to use the filter module [2] (or the old packager
module [3], whichever
you
choose) in order to export the pages you are
interested in and save the
result (on the filesystem or as an attachment in a page).
As inspiration, you could check out the source code (in java) of the
export
action [4] which is exactly what is going on when
you are exporting a
page
from the UI.
2) A simpler choice, IMO, would be to schedule a cron [5] task on a linux
machine (possible the same one running the XWiki instance) and have that
task simply download (using something like cURL [6]) the result of a
manually crafter export URL (as detailed in our documentation [7])
containing the list of pages to export.
Hope this helps,
Eduard
