[Catgen-developer] problem report

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I've had so many problems with catgen on this 486 - win95a machine I
am feeling extremely discouraged.

This is from catgen-v0.62.zip.

- bin/setclasspath.bat doesn't work properly - it misses all the jars
in catgenapp/web-inf/lib, who knows why - they have to be added
manually to classpath.
- When I start server, it brings up connection dialog box, even
though hosts.sam is setup correctly with "localhost 127.0.0.1". If I
click "cancel" it doesn't seem to work properly, I have to be
connected.
- On my netscape 4.7, the login.jsp form appears blank even though in
html source view I see the form.  It was missing an <html><body> tag,
also a </form> tag.  I added them and it made no difference.  In IE
it works ok.
- Response time was so slow (30-60 seconds), even after the form was
compiled, I was wondering whether it was compiling the form
everytime. Obviously, this response time is not acceptable.
- I was occasionally getting "attempt to clear a buffer that's been
flushed".  I believe this was related to the <jsp:include> of the
menu headers, and that it is fixed in latest version (available
through cvs only) that uses @include instead. 

==PLEASE==

- Somebody test the server on Win95b and win98 machine, particularly
with regards to the connection problem above.
- Somebody test on older machine to see if performance is still so
bad
- Figure out what problem with login form is in Netscape.

Marc.
