given data source (like xml/csv documents) into the eZ
Publish content tree.
Summary :
The purpose of that extension is to import data from a
given data source (like xml/csv documents) into the eZ
Publish content tree. This extension is under the GPL.
Concepts :
We choose a object oririented approach. Developers need to
implement a SourceHandler that understands the given data
source. The handler is completely independent from the
import operators. The import operators contain the logic
how to create/update the content nodes in eZ Publish.
Import Process :
Each import process starts with an eZ command line script.
It only gets an instance of a SourceHandler and an
ImportOperator and then runs the ImportOperator.
