Hello, guys. Unfortunately I can not to take part in our weekly meeting today because I have a control work tomorrow I need to spend the evening for my preparation for it.
What about my current work state... My task was to start creating the testing application and to develop the feature of ping time measuring. So, here is what I have done: 1) I have spent several hours for setting up OpenMeetings on my home computer. Yes, it is not needed for the current task but anyway it will be needed later. I have set up the Ubuntu virtual machine (there were several problems with shared directories, internet connections and other), checked out, built and installed openmeetings. So, now everything works on my home computer, and it is great. 2) I tried to create some simple java servlet. I have never created servlets, so it took a lot of time to learn about servlets and how to create them. Actually, I don't know why we need to use servlets in this task, I think that all features could be made without servlets. Could somebody explain me please why we need servlet and how to use it in this task? 3) Then I have met a blind alley. I don't understand how to create openlaszlo application from scratch. I tried to copy parts of the script from our openmeetings build.xml but unfortunately I haven't got it yet. It will be great if somebody shows me some tutorial for it. So, my current vision of the system is: It is the client-server application. The client side is developed with openlaszlo, the server side is a java servlet. The client side is needed to make requests to measured server (ping time, port availability...). The server side... It is needed only for bandwidth testing. But why is it a servlet? I hope that Sebastian and other participants of the project will help me with my questions. Sorry for my absence on the meeting. Best regards, German Grekhov.
