Hi Thanks for that, yes found a previous post on this, this morning and downloaded the files I have extracted the java and class files but am unsure, based on the fact that I am using farcry, how to proceed. I am sure I need to create the web.xml file in the www folder in farcry app, also what to put in the go.cfm I am unsure, has anyone used this and have some code examples of how to set this up would be great.
