Hello, I want to write the same autoupdate functionality Orion uses. Can anyone give some hints on best practices? Has anyone already done this? Files: UpdateClient & FileIterator -> loop the local files/dirs and send a timestamp or versionnumber UpdateServer -> servlet who provides all the new files depending on the timestamps/version numbers Options: -stable -> update to the stable build (the tested jars, 99% sure they will work correctly) -current -> update to the current build (will probably work correctly) -latest -> update to the latest development build (the obscure nightly builds :)) Should work with class, jsp, xml, txt, gif etc files (J2EE project, EJB).
