OK,
Thank you Steve for reply.
And just one question:
Is there any documents to help me to undresand about OpenNMS's architecture
and describe about the structure of project or it's just code to find
something? you know when I think about doing such a 'hacking man' it's
notice me something like 'Cave man' :)))
regards
Meysam
