Radar Release Notes 
-------------------

Author  : Leong Mun Wai <munwai@cyberway.com.sg>
Date    : 20001119
Version : 0.5 beta 4


Requirements
------------

NOTE: JDOM and Xerces binaries are included in this distribution

* Tomcat 3.1 (http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1/bin)
* JDOM Beta 5 (http://www.jdom.org)
* Java 2 SDK 1.3
* Xerces 1.2.1 for Java (http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j)


Installation
------------

1. Make sure the JDOM and Xerces jars are in your CLASSPATH. Placing the jars
   in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib will also work for UNIX users.
   
2. Set the environment variable TOMCAT_HOME to point to the Tomcat installation
   in which Radar will be used.
   
3. Copy radar.war into $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/.

4. Start (or restart) Tomcat.

5. Point your browser to http://your.tomcat.host:port/radar/servlet/radmin

6. The Radar admin page should appear.

7. Please read 'Known Issues' below for information about Tomcat's server.xml


Known Issues (IMPORTANT!)
-------------------------

1. Radar reads $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml, the Tomcat server config file.
   However, there is an undeclared namespace, xmlmapper that causes 
   JDOM/Xerces to throw an exception. As a work around, comment out the
   <xmlmapper:debug level="0" /> element at the top of server.xml.
