Spider is a complete standalone Java application designed
to easily integrate varied datasources. It will retrieve (on
demand or via automated scheduling) data from these
varied sources and can be configured to push it to
consumers such as listeners on a messaging queue, email
accounts, flat files, or databases. It was designed with
ease of extension as its highest priority, so its default
configuration can be easily modified and extended to
support other third-party or proprietary invocation or
dissemination methods.
