I'd like to preface this e-mail with the fact that I've spent the last year
and a half off doing servlet development on a commercial Web application server
and I am really out of touch with the mainstream state of Apache JSERV/Jakarta,
java.apache.org, and all that. The last time I played with any of it, JSERV
was 0.9.11 or something and JSP and Jakarta were non-existent.
Given that handicap, I grabbed the Jetspeed code from anonymous cvs yesterday
and built it today. As a newcomer to Jetspeed, here are the problems I had
doing the build.
1) The installation instructions say to get Xerces-J even though it is distributed
in the lib directory (since Xerces is an Apache project, can't it be distributed
with Jetspeed?). This is minor, but the fact that it is not put in the build.sh
file will stop a build.
2) ECS is not mentioned in the installation notes, but is needed (can't it also
be distributed with Jetspeed since it is an Apache product?).
3) Cocoon is not in the build.sh file.
4) Castor is not in the build.sh file.
5) Village is in the build.sh file, but apparently not needed.
6) Turbine is not in the build.sh file.
7) The build.sh file appears to be for Turbine and not Jetspeed.
I'd like to contribute to Jetspeed and would be willing to help with such issues.
In fact, I feel that it would be a good way for me to learn the software. In
other words, would anyone mind if I got my feet wet by fixing some things which
seem to be minor details?
I still don't have Jetspeed running, but I believe that has much more to do with
my lack of understanding Jakarta than anything else. I'm gonna keep plugging
away at it.
Incidentally, there was some talk about using the IBM 1.1.8 JDK with Jetspeed
and Jakarta. I've been unable to get Jakarta to work with IBM's JDK under Linux,
even though it works with the Blackdown/Sun RC2 JDK. After digging around,
I saw some mention that Tomcat 3.1M1 had a workaround for some JDK's with a
particular problem. Does anyone know anything about this?
