Exposing The Sitemaps

In order for the sitemaps generated by the plug-in to be used, they must be exposed on your web site. To do this you need to add the plug-in's sitemap servlet and a corresponding servlet mapping to each of your publications' web.xml files. The entries you need to add are:

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>SitemapServlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>com.escenic.seo.servlet.SitemapServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
...
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>SitemapServlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/sitemap/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

These entries determine the sitemap index URLs that the plug-in's webapp will respond to. If your publication URL is http://www.example.com/, for example, then the sitemap index documents will be exposed in the following locations:

• Aggregated sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap/archive.xml

• Update sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap/update.xml

• Google News sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap/googlenews.xml

• Google Video sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap/googlevideo.xml
