Apologies for the cross posting. I need this to go to as wide a range of possible testers as I can get it. The second alpha release of GNU Paperclips is now available, please test it, even just to see if it builds on your machine. Changes: - cleaned up class loader and URL handler support. - internals of Paperclips are now fixed (pretty definitely) - modularized webapp boot class - make based build system About: It runs webapps (.wars) but only when they're already unpacked. Why no unpacking? Because I intend to support using unpacked war files. That's coming very soon. Still to do: - a lot to do with the deployment descriptor processing, all we do so far is: o load and bind servlets o set context init parameters o set specification of welcome files - finish the update of the javax.servlet classes for 2.3 changes - re-integrate the 1.0 jsp classes into javax.servlet - add the new build system to the javax.servlet classes - add the multiplexing for "override webapps" How to download: You need to use the CVS still (I'm trying to sort out how to do releases via savannah). Here is how to check out paperclips from CVS: $ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/paperclips login [return] $ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/paperclips co -r API_23_ALPHA_2_1 paperclips Next release: Will be the first BETA release. This will be announced on servlet-interest and probably the GNU website. It will be the first Paperclips release to be available from GNU ftp.
