Hi, You bet, I have to deal with a large corporate environment; it made maven difficult to deal with. Most developers work within the approved jar framework and never hot an external repository at all. I actually had to remove my local repository, settings, xml, etc.. and start over.
I can't seem to get IRC working, not sure what's wrong but unable to contact any servers. I think possibly it's blocked. I was initially very encouraged because there are several examples for embedded server. Well documented on an HTML page and all. After I got them built I've not been able to run them. Actually, one of them runs unless I try to add an Authenticator. The others fail to run for various reasons related files and configuration I guess. There is also a standalone example, I can't tell if it's working or not because it's impossible to discover what port it's using; not a known or standard one I guess. There also doesn't seem to be any API to set the port before starting the server. Some of the embedded examples are documented as working with a previous version, so I've finally got four different versions built and should be able to get an example working. I'm a reasonably competent maven user but no expert for sure, the maven versioning within each of these source trees seems really inconsistent though. Still I can build, and start an embedded server, it's just not possible to programmatically add an Authenticator I guess. I wouldn't have worked on this as long as I have except that I don't have a viable 'Plan B' right now. I really do appreciate the open source community; it's about the only source for quality software now days. In this case it's been more frustrating than I had possibly imagined. Thanks!

Yeah, but you must admit that many of the problem you faced so far weren't ADS related (I'm thinking about Maven issues you had, for instance.) Plus this is not simply as if you were installing ADS alone : you are trying to embed it in a tomcat server, with all the classloaders problem and file protections that come with ... May I suggest you move forward step by step instead of tying all together ? PS : I very much understand your feeling, btw. I too am a old fart who fumes when testing an open source program and don't succeed after a few steps... yuk, that's life ! :) Btw, if you need more interactive directions, try to join us on IRC (#apache-directory). -- Regards, Cordialement, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com
