The version of Xang in the xang.war in my previous
message is a not-yet-checked-in version.
It has a new mode that is a workaround to the
inability of servlet engines to provide 'extra path info' to servlets that
handle file extensions (like *.xap).
In the xang.cfg you can specify one .xap file as
the 'app' file. This will let you use a URL that doesn't have a .xap extension
in it & you can do sub-url addressing.
For example:
Without this fix the url could be a nice and simple

Hey Mike,
So I'm getting closer on getting the sample to
run. When I execute http://localhost/xang/hello.xap I
just get the source of the page. So it seems likely that I've still got
a disconnect between tomcat/xang making it use the xang servlet to process the
page. Sound correct?
I can't believe how long this has taken to fumble
through this.

I've found that the different versions of XML
parsers between Tomcat and Xerces are causing problems.
The Xang code extends the xml Document class
& I think there is a problem doing that when the base class is loaded by
the default classloader & the Xang code is loaded by the 'change-aware'
Tomcat classloader.
I was able to fix the problem by putting ALL
Xang code in the classpath - in startup.bat or wherever. This includes the
FESI _javascript_ engine.
For example:
set
CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\xerces.jar
set
CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\xalan.jar
set
CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\Jakarta\tomcat\webapps\xang\WEB-INF\classes
set
CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\projects\apache\modules\xml-xang\java\classpath\fesi.zip;
Now, the next problem is my sample .xap files
reference an out of date Xalan class.... onward and upward.

Mike,
What version of Tomcat do you prefer? Tomcat
3.2? 3.3? or 4?

only really needs a Java VM, so I think you probably can get it to work

Mike,
I don't have a servlet engine
installed. I'll try to see if Tomcat is available for my platform. I'll
also try to install it. I'm not comfortable with Java at
all.
Below is information I sent to you earlier. It pretty
much explains everything.
Thanks for getting back to me so
quickly this time. Greatly
appreciated.

Good gravy, you are
exactly what I've been looking
for...
Wonderful!
My AIM name is
<JasonWohlford>. My ICQ number is <112823231>. Your welcome
to chat with me on which ever. Right now, you'll find me on AIM more
often.
I'll be able to help with development best between the
hours of 8:30-5:00 p.m. CST at work. I have great flexibility from my
wonderful employer Brian Belsterling, President of The Copy Center. As
long as I can show, if asked, that I am benefiting The Copy Center and
get the rest of my work done it will be fine. Therefore, I'd eventually
like to convert my client-side _javascript_ site at
<SylvanOrder.com> to Xang.
I have a very strong
understanding of _javascript_. I also understand XML to a reasonable
degree. (Hey, what's really to understand.) I'm quite weak in XSL; and
have almost no knowledge of Apache configuration. That being said, I
love to code. I love to code to spec. I love XML, XSL, the DOM, and
_javascript_ and am passionate about them. They rock.
I accept
and agree with the Apache license and am very interested in contributing
to open source. Although I like Linux, I'm not much for the GPL. I do
like the FreeBSD license very much, although I've never run straight
FreeBSD.
This is my configuration is the tricky part. At
work, I am running Mac OS X (based on many BSDs). It has Apache built
in. According to Apple it also has a very strong Java2 environment. The
Mac OS X box is what I'll be using most of the time. At home, I should
have a Linux-Mandrake 8.0 box running this weekend. My replacement
motherboard should be arriving today or tomorrow. It has telnet and
maybe SSH access? How shall I proceed?

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.

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!?
