[opencms-dev] OpenCMS / Google Sitemap generation script

[Tim Howland]

Hey folks-

I wrote the following jsp page to generate XML sitemaps that Google can 
read (see http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/faq.html ).

Basically, it recurses through your site tree and pulls out any jsp, 
html, or pdf files it finds, generating a link in Google's format so 
they can locate the file.

It also looks for three custom properties- these properties can be set 
at the folder level, they will cascade to all files and subfolders below.

    * sitemap_hidden (default value: false): set this to "true" to hide
      something from this script. I use it to hide client extranets and
      include files.
    * sitemap_change_frequency (default value: weekly): controls how
      often google should check for an update of this element. Legal
      values are:   always,  hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, never .
    * sitemap_priority (default value: 1): the relative priority of this
      element. Should be an integer.


Here's the script- improvements and comments are welcome, of course:

<%@ page session="false" %>

protected String BASE_URL="";
public static SimpleDateFormat ISO8601FORMAT = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
private String recurseTree(CmsObject cmso,CmsJspActionElement jsp, String path)  {
	StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
	try {
		ArrayList files = (ArrayList) cmso.getFilesInFolder(path);
		Iterator i = files.iterator();
		while (i.hasNext()) {
			CmsFile f = (CmsFile) i.next();	
			String thispath = jsp.link(cmso.getSitePath(f));
			CmsProperty secret = cmso.readPropertyObject(f,"sitemap_hidden",true);
			CmsProperty changeFreqProperty = cmso.readPropertyObject(f,"sitemap_change_frequency",true);
			CmsProperty priorityProperty = cmso.readPropertyObject(f,"sitemap_priority",true);
			String changeFrequency = changeFreqProperty.getValue("weekly");
			String priority = priorityProperty.getValue("1");
			if ((secret.getValue("false") == "false") 
				&& (thispath.endsWith("html")||thispath.endsWith("jsp")||thispath.endsWith("pdf"))) {		
				sb.append("<url>\n");			
				sb.append("<loc>"+BASE_URL+thispath+"</loc>\n");
				//DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
				String niceDate = ISO8601FORMAT.format(new Date(f.getDateLastModified()));
				sb.append("<lastmod>"+niceDate+"</lastmod>\n");
				sb.append("<changefreq>"+changeFrequency+"</changefreq>\n");
				sb.append("<priority>"+priority+"</priority>\n");
				sb.append("</url>\n");
			}
		}
		ArrayList folders = (ArrayList) cmso.getSubFolders(path);
		Iterator j = folders.iterator();	
		while (j.hasNext()) {
			CmsFolder f = (CmsFolder) j.next();
			sb.append( recurseTree(cmso,jsp, cmso.getSitePath(f) ) );
		}
	}
	catch (CmsException cmsException) {
		sb.append("A CMS exception occurred: "+cmsException.toString());
	
	}
	return sb.toString();

}

CmsJspActionElement cms = new org.opencms.jsp.CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request, response);
CmsObject cmso = cms.getCmsObject();
String url = cms.info("opencms.url");
int lastSlash = url.indexOf("/",8);
BASE_URL = url.substring(0,lastSlash);
out.println (recurseTree(cmso,cms, "/"));
%> 
</urlset>
