[opencms-dev] Scheduled jobs static export

[Aruno Johnson]

Hi


I am having trouble with a scheduled job which I think basically  
boils down to me not understanding what I am doing. What I want to do  
is "touch", "publish", and "export" a page on my site every 4 hours.  
So I created a project with just the one page in it lets call it  
projectA and I set up a scheduled job with the following:

Job name:  jobpa
Java class:  org.opencms.scheduler.jobs.CmsStaticExportJob	
Cron expression: 0 0 0/4 * * ?
Reuse instance:  true
Active:  true
User name: pm
Project: projectA		

Where pm is a project manger with proper auths to do everything it  
needs to do. I don't have anything else on this page set so maybe  
that is the problem. The scheduling part seems to work fine, as the  
jobs shows up and is recorded as having been run. I check the log  
files and when I choose the java class for publish it records as  
completing the job fine but no files needed publishing. When I set it  
to the java class for export I don't seem to get any messages in the  
logs.  Either way the static exported version of the page is not  
updated.

Now to clarify the page to be exported is a jsp page. Manually  
exporting it works fine, I want the jsp code t execute before  
exporting which it does (in essence turning the exported page into a  
static html page). The catch is that the jsp page will display  
different results each time it is requested in opencms (for  
publishing or exporting). So even though it is technically not  
modified between the scheduled publish/export job it should be  
published/exported anyway. Hense why I said I think what I want to do  
is "touch" the page with a scheduled job.

I am using opencms 6.2.2

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you
