If you don’t have a list of URLs, you may prefer to use Google’s sitemap generator tool, which parses your web server logs to find URLs. http://googlesitemapgenerator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/gsg-installation.html

Thx a lot!

If you want to exclude certain URLs, just make sure your Java program doesn’t add them. If you want to automatically include an array of URLs but exclude just some of them, you can use a “for” loop to exclude specific URLs and add the rest.

Does your class provide a way of excluding patterns.
For e.g. I dont want *htm in a certain place
http://www.mysite.com/xxx/**/*.htm to be included in sitemap creation. Is it possible to exclude patterns

Thanks

You can use SitemapGen4j the same way you would use any other Java jar library. However, using a Java library requires a lot more information than I can give you in this blog post comment. Here’s a good page explaining how to add a jar to your classpath on Windows XP and here’s another page explaining more generally how to write Java programs that use the classpath. Sorry I can’t be more help.

Note that if you don’t need to build a very complicated sitemap, you may be happier using Google’s Python-based sitemap generator, which is easier to use for people who aren’t familiar with compiling Java applications using jar files.

now, what to do now. pls teach me. where to put the archive and an complete example of the page to be written.
