Re: [Archive-access-discuss] [ANN] wayback-1.2.0 released

[Thomas B. <Tho...@KB...>]

Hi all,

At the KB we are severely testing Wayback 1.2.0 at the moment. My first
impression is quite positive; many new functions are added, it is quite
easy to implement different modules for different access points and
several indexing threads can live side by side now.

I have a few questions though. First of all, I'm experiencing errors
which did not occur in older versions; java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC
overhead limit exceeded. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Second; when closing down Wayback in Tomcat, the lock file for the
localbdb is not erased. A restart is therefore not possible. Could this
be fixed so that if the webapp is closed down, the lock file is erased?

Third; with a few websites the timeline GUI is scrambled. I get a full
yellow screen with on every line a mark. After scrolling down that page,
the website is presented normally. This is not the case with every
website.

My fourth and last problem is in the configuration. I would like to do
some tests using the remote NutchWAX search, but there is not a clear
manual of how to implement this precisely, which beans to use for
example. Does anyone have a good example for me?

Keep up the good work! Wayback is really becoming a beautiful piece of
software.

Cheers,
