Hi All, I ran into a few problems when trying to compile and run the JSP samples. 1)I installed Xindice in a folder other than the C:\Xindice and C:\Program Files\Xindices. The ant batch files does not seem to like it for some reason. I re-installed Xindice under C:\Xindice and that worked. Suggestion:May be under the original install instructions we could add that jsp samples wont compile unless you install at these specific locations.
2)In the Readme file in java\examples\Addressbook folder, at step 2 asks to add the servlet.jar file to your classpath. In my case it was the default location "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\common\lib" For some reason ClassPath does not like to have spaces in between. (I found this only after hours of googleing. I found the cause after translating a Japanese page in english on google). Suggestion: This war file can be include or kept as downloadable from the Xindice site. This can help users focus on learning to use the app. 3) OK so finally I had my "Addressbook.war" compiled. I fired up my browser and tried connecting to the URL "http://127.0.0.1:8080/Addressbook"; as mentioned in Step 6 I got a error regarding not being able to find /Addressbook/servlet/Task. Again after some googeling (this time just a few minutes) I found out that the problem is with the JSP files and that I had to change all paths "/Addressbook/servlet/Task" to "/Addressbook/Task". Stopped and Restarted Tomcat and Xindice, everything worked fine. I think Xindice is a great tool specially when you dont want to start creating a database schema. Looks like this project is slowing down if not dying which would be very sad. So to the folks that started this you guys have done a great job so far and hope you guys continue the good work.
