[MKSearch-dev] Week 17 round up

[Phil Shaw]

Thanks to Chris for his help with JPackage and yum this week. I still 
haven't got the test deployment working on GNU/Linux, so I'll keep at 
it over the next few weeks. Got the query servlet running with Tomcat 
on Windows, so calling a close to alpha development.

I would appreciate any feedback on my query parsing notes from last 
week:

$mk_home/doc/javadoc/com/mkdoc/servlet/HttpQuery.html#getQueryTerms(ja
va.lang.String)

Best regards,

Phil


Tuesday
~~~~~~~
Spent most of the day trying to install JPackage on my GNU/Linux 
system and updating Chris' how to notes. Slow progress because yum 
decided to update everything on my system and generally being on a 
learning curve. Decided to go stepwise and get Ant running first, 
which didn't work straight off. Posted some questions to the JPackage 
message board, still working it out. Also spent some time mirroring 
the development environment on GNU/Linux and bringing the bash build 
scripts up to date with the latest Sesame and JSpider classpath 
settings.

Wednesday
~~~~~~~~~
Switching between diagnostics on GNU/Linux, set up Tomcat 5 on my 
Windows system and prepared a basic Ant deployment and server 
configuration. Added Ant filter copy variables for various Tomcat 
configuration parameters and committed a skeleton directory structure 
for the deployment. Got the alpha HttpQuery servlet up and running 
interactively, then created an XhtmlResultsRenderer to get a basic, 
source-linked result page.
