Hi Jonathan,<br><br>The Flare demo is not using the old routine. It's using a rake task that queries a live web service for XML. The Blacklight demo is using the old system, but it's been cleaned up quite a bit. In fact the Blacklight Demo indexing implementation is now in one file:<br>
<br><a href="http://blacklight.rubyforge.org/svn/rails-plugins/blacklight/trunk/lib/blacklight/demo/uva.rb">http://blacklight.rubyforge.org/svn/rails-plugins/blacklight/trunk/lib/blacklight/demo/uva.rb</a><br><br>I put it in with the Blacklight plugin because it could be a valuable reference for someone trying to use the plugin from scratch.<br>
<br>Hope this helps!<br><br>Matt<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 17, 2008 at 10:34 AM, Jonathan Rochkind <<a href="mailto:rochkind@jhu.edu">rochkind@jhu.edu</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Are these using the new indexing routines, or the old ones? Thanks!<br>
