I'm on digest mode so I might be behind in replying, but I hope I can help on the mach-ii install issues
You're not tied at all when it comes to the placement of files. Though when you first open the box it might not appear so, . everything out of the framework is configureable. If you're wanting the quickest install, . the one hal has done is by far the easiest. webroot\ --machii --contactmanager --shoppingcart --roulette It doesn't require any changes. If you're wanting the framework itself (excluding the demo apps) outside of the webroot, or nested within another directory a machii mapping is all that it needs to function. if you want all of the demo applications and machii under one "testsite" wwwroot (or whatever root your using)\ --testsite -----machii -----contactmanager -----roullette -----shoppingcart then you'll have to configure the xml file for *each* demoapplication. To change your directory notation in the xmlfile. <property name="applicationRoot" value="/ContactManager" /> will become <property name="applicationRoot" value="../ContactManager" /> and all 'types' (listners event-filter) eg. ContactManager.model.ContactManager will become testsite.ContactManager.model.ContactManager Note : testsite can represent more than one directory. If you have testsite\ --examplecode\ -----contactmanager then the type would be testsite.examplecode.ContactManager.model.ContactManager and the application root would be <property name="applicationRoot" value="../../ContactManager" /> since it's directory is two levels down. Both of the above require a mapping to the machii folder. Keep in mind if you've already tried to run the application you'll have to go to the mach-ii.cfm and change the MACHII_CONFIG_MODE to 1 to force a reload. Also, if you're getting an error on reading the xml file. the mach-ii.cfm page is where to look, just set the expandpath() to the actual location of that config file. (each demo has it's own config file in the config directory.) Since directory notation is hardcoded in the model of the demo applications,. there will probably need to be a change to set the path of the component (find and replace the dir seems the easiest way around it) Or you can just create a mapping to shoppingcart, contactmanager, roullete. again, Hals is defiently easier, but there isn't any true limitation on where you're putting the files Hope that helps Robby resent with the right subject, ..
