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).

TIA
