Regenerate via CSSDK - suggestions

dazzlad

Hi,

Firstly, I did find this post which didn't seem to end in any conclusion.

I am hoping to create a java class that will re/generate some templated files in TeamSite and display some real time progress updates.

The java will not always be run on the TS server so I'll be using CSSDK/SOAP to connect to TeamSite.

As covered in the linked post CSSDK doesn't expose templating, so my only idea is to instantiate a workflow from a job spec which will regenerate a list of files.

In order to get the current status of the job I was intending to poll some job variables to indicate how many files had been regenerated to date.

It all seems feasible but feels slightly clunky to me.
Can anyone suggest a *cleaner* approach?

Thanks.
Darren.

Why not just write a servlet on your teamsite server that calls the iwgen or iwregenerate clts that does the generation using external command processing in java. It would be much simpler than the approach you are contemplating with a workflow.
