Hi Naren,
the process is very simple. First you need to get yourself a copy of
RIFE's sources. Best is to check them out from the Subversion
repository since they are the latest and greatest ;-)
The repository's URL is: https://svn.rifers.org/rife/trunk/
You can find more information about Subversion from here:
http://subversion.tigris.org/
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
http://subclipse.tigris.org/
I very detailed book is also available online here:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
If you have the command-line client installed, this command will give
you the latest version of the sources:
svn co https://svn.rifers.org/rife/trunk/ rife
Once you have them, you should try getting the unittests to run.
Since you will be looking at the web engine, you can safely comment
out all lines besides the "engine" one in this file:
http://rifers.org:8088/viewrep/rifers/rife/trunk/src/unittests/com/
uwyn/rife/TestRifeTests.java?r=trunk
During development I also comment out the "SITE_SERVLET" lines from
here:
http://rifers.org:8088/viewrep/rifers/rife/trunk/src/unittests/com/
uwyn/rife/RifeTestSuite.java?r=2932
Now you need to set up a configuration variable for your platform,
open the correct config file from here http://rifers.org:8088/viewrep/
rifers/rife/trunk/programs/unittests/config/rep (choose the one that
corresponds to your OS). Set the RIFE_HOME configuration parameter to
the full path where you checked out RIFE to.
Then try to run the tests and see if they all succeed. If they do,
you're ready to go.
Now, to get a feel for the architecture it's often the easier to step
through with a debugger. Just choose one of the tests (or even you
own app where you attach the RIFE sources to) and follow what happens
step by step.
You can now make any changes you want.
Note that to be accepted as a contribution, all your additions need
to be tested in the testsuite and any new API needs to have clear
javadocs.
To build a new JAR, you need to do this in the rife directory under
JDK 1.5:
ant clean jar
Once you're satisfied with what you added, add any new files you
wrote with the svn add command and then create a diff like this:
svn diff > rife_naren_thedate.diff
Send this file to me and I'll review it and commit it to the main
repository if it's good enough.
Note that I'm very picky on the coding style, please try to respect
the one that the project uses. It's probably not yours, but this was
has been chosen and it needs to be consistent throughout. Me having
to reformat your sources will seriously decrease the chance of the
patch being accepted.
I hope this gives you enough information to get started, otherwise
just ask and I'll help you as much as I can.
Best regards,
Geert

Hello Geert,
I have never contributed to Open Source Project. Can you suggest
how can I
contribute to RIFE development ?
If I made some changes/inhancements in RIFE then how can I submit
to you ?
Regards

Hello,
Is there any way with RIFE to set a error page. So when any
exception raised
o page that error page is get displayed, instead of the default
stack trace
generated by rife?

Naren
