Re: [Arrowheadasp-users] Is the project still supported?

Hi there!

I am here, I was on vacation, ArrowHead ASP is in a "slow" state right
now, but I still maintain it and I would appreciate the help!

Yes, that is exactly the problem. It can be compiled with the new
JavaCC, I have been meaning to check that in...

I feel it is already an alternative to IIS, but that's since I wrote it
to get rid of IIS for my company....

I will work on that, it should be very simple.

I am here to help you out as much as I can. I might have missed your
previous message, I was swimming in spam and work before my vacation.

There has been scattered participation so far. Honestly, the biggest
problem with ArrowHead ASP is that JSP is so much nicer, especially
combined with Struts, WebWork2, Cocoon, and all of jakarta.apache.org. I
wrote ArrowHead as a migration and integration tool, and I think with
that in mind, it works beautifully. The goal of ArrowHead is to be a
plug-in replacement to IIS, in as much as that is technically possible,
maybe this can be still achieved.

I know, it would, I wish I could work on OSS projects all the time! I
hope I can be more helpful to you in the future.
