Good gravy, you are exactly what I've been looking for... The installation instructions are a bit old & are on the apache site - I will help you get it installed on whatever servlet engine you currently have. Xang is a Java servlet, which requires a servlet engine. I wrote it with JServ, but have moved to Tomcat since then. There are a few incompatibilities between servlet engines & between versions of the Java servlet specification from Sun.
While we get this thing configured for you machine, tell me a bit about your software environment & what you hope to do with Xang. If you have an instant messaging client, we can chat during your installation & I can work through any problems that might pop up. Mike Here are the instructions I wrote a long time ago: === The Apache Xang engine is currently implemented as a Java Servlet. You must include xang.jar, xalan.jar, xerces.jar and fesi.zip in the Servlet class path. Consult your Servlet engine documentation for detailed instructions. The Xang servlet needs to be registered with your Servlet engine. The servlet class name is: org.apache.xang.net.http.object.impl.HTTPObjectServer The servlet initialization parameters are: config=full-path/to/your/xang.cfg For the Apache JServ servlet engine, this is the configuration information to place in zone.properties to register the Xang servlet: servlet.org.apache.xang.net.http.object.impl.HTTPObjectServer.initArgs=confi g=full-path/to/your/xang.cfg In addition, the Web server or Servlet engine needs to be configured to pass requests to files with a .XAP extension to the Xang servlet. Consult your Servlet engine documentation for detailed instructions. For the Apache JServ servlet engine, this is the configuration information to place in zone.properties to register the Xang servlet: servlet.org.apache.xang.net.http.object.impl.HTTPObjectServer.initArgs=confi g=D:\projects\apache\modules\xml-xang\java\src\org\apache\xang\xap\xang.cfg For the Apache JServ servlet engine, this is the configuration information to place in the jserv.conf for getting the Xang servlet to handle .xap files: ApJServAction .xap /servlets/org.apache.xang.net.http.object.impl.HTTPObjectServer To run XSLT extensions, include bsf.jar and bsfengines.jar. All these JAR files are distributed with Xalan. For extensions implemented in JavaScript or another scripting language, see the Xalan extensions language requirements to identify any additional JAR files you must place on the class path and where you can get them. === ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Prescott Wohlford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2001 12:38 PM Subject: How can I help! Mike, I've had dreams wanting something like what Xang does. I scoured the web for months trying to find something that handles XML, XSL, and JavaScript. It has huge potential! I have some issues with the project. First, how in the heck do I install it? Where's all the documentation. It seem quite sparse and difficult to understand. I want to work on this project. I'm extremely passionate about Xang. How can I become involved!?
