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reference an out of date Xalan class....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 for

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.
Jason

Re: How can I help!
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!?
