What do you want to do?

If you are here, you probably know about this already:

http://evilcorporation.com.br/rubyquest

But if not, have some answers:

http://evilcorporation.com.br/rubyquest/about.html

Just run:

static.cmd

The full website, in static HTML form, will be generated under: output/offline/rubyquest

Page templates are here: dynamic/src/main/webapp

Run the dynamic website:

dynamic.cmd

Wait for the server to start, open the displayed URL and navigate to the page you want.

Tweak the templates and refresh your browser to see results rendered on the fly.

When you're satisfied, just generate the static website as described above.

The original raw data used as input to render the website is here: wicket/src/main/resources/rubyquest.xml

You can repeat the download and extraction process by running:

data-download.cmd

Study and modify the source code to:

• Point the download to the online archives where your quest is stored.
• Parse the particular format of the HTML published there.
• Extract any extra pieces of text and images that interest you.

After you've got all the data you need, you will probably want to change the page templates as described above. Most certainly you will need to add new pages, remove a few, and link them around differently. Test everything using the dynamic website, and generate the static content in the end.

All the aforementioned scripts run a Maven "exec" command like this:

mvn exec:exec --projects <submodule>

The submodule's pom.xml will tell you the name of the entry point main class.

Now all you need to do is fire up your favorite Java IDE and hack away!

In fact, this project is a nice example of how you can use Apache Wicket to implement web pages that can be rendered both dynamically (online) and statically (offline).

This comes handy when you're developing, say, a corporate application where you must, say, send an invoice to a customer through email
(static HTML) while making the same invoice available for the customer in the company's website (dynamic HTML). Applying the technique used in this project, you can handle both cases with a single class.

Have fun!
