Hi Doug,

The model importer needs a URL to load the import file from. file:// and 
http:// URLs both work.

The model-importer.properties configuration file is documented in the 
Wiki (http://www.opennms.org/index.php/Importer_Service), but if you 
want to see the format expected by the importer, take a look at some of 
the XML files here:

http://opennms.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/opennms/opennms/trunk/opennms-import/src/test/resources/

The XSD file for the XML syntax is here:

http://opennms.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/opennms/opennms/trunk/opennms-config/src/main/castor/model-import.xsd?revision=7524&view=markup

In my case I point the model importer at a CGI that rifles through my 
provisioning database and generates the required XML dump.

importer.importURL = http://localhost:4444/blah/export.py

You could also push from the other side: save the XML dump to a file on 
the OpenNMS server periodically, and trigger OpenNMS to reload the file 
from a file:// URL following these instructions:
