[ebxmlms-general] Re: MSH Feedback and Support Request - LoopBack Test

[Patrick Y. <kc...@ce...>]

Hi Ken,

You may need to have a look at the log files at MSH servlet:
/home/edicweb/jakarta-tomcat/logs/msh.log

Frequently, clues can be found there.

Another test for the connectivity: you can use a browser at the client =
side to point to the location:
http://edicweb.4java.net/msh/=20

If it shows: "MSH is alive...", that means the setting is likely to be =
correct in server side. I have tried that in my office, but I cannot get =
that message. So please try to fix the server side error. Please see the =
MSH log file mentioned above as well as tomcat log for clues.

Cheers, -Patrick
P.S. I cc'ed this reply to the ebxmlms-general mail list of Hermes. If =
possible, please refer to that mailing list for technical enquiries. You =
can join that list at sourceforge =
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/ebxmlms). Thanks.

  Subject: MSH Feedback and Support Request - LoopBack Test


  Patrick,
  This is just some feedback on the LoopBack test and a request for some =
help, if possible.=20

  First, the feedback.  I ran RunLoopBack.bat on a Win95 machine and =
encountered a problem on both the first and second lines of the batch =
file.  I think that there may be a problem with the end-of-line =
characters in this file, because when I ran each line separately (in =
separate batch files) the steps completed successfully.

  Now for my problem.  I have installed the MSH servlet (binary =
distribution) on an Apache/Tomcat server (v 4.1.18) that is hosted by a =
third party on the Internet.  I have installed the MSH client on my =
Win95 desktop.  When I run the LoopBack test, the client seems to be =
connecting to the MSH server (HTTP response code 200) but the post is =
not successful.  The client returns the following messages:

  Packaging...
  Info: using property file in =
/D:/EDIC/RESEARCH/ebXML/Hermes/msh_client/sample/msh_client.properties.xm=
l
  hk.hku.cecid.phoenix.message.handler.RequestException:

fig(Unknown Source)
          at =

Source)
          at LoopBack.run(LoopBack.java:29)
          at LoopBack.main(LoopBack.java:11)

  I have attached my msh_client.properties and msh.properties files for =
your reference.

  Do you have any suggestions?  Should I be posting support requests to =
the newsgroup at SourceForge instead of to you directly?

  Thank you.

    Hi Ken,

    We encourage the developers to set up their own MSH application =
server. As Hermes is flexible and highly configurable, we think =
different developers may want to have different preferences and =
configurations on Hermes. Therefore, it is quite impossible for us to =
set up a "generic" deployment for testing of customized MSH clients. =
BTW, some users reported that they can successfully set up a MSH =
application server on low-end platform like Windows 98. So, we assume =
that it shouldn't be a big issue to set up a testing MSH application =
server in the developers' own site.

    Thank you for your suggestion. Please let us know your thoughts so =
that we can continue to improve our products.

    Cheers, -Patrick

      It would be nice to code and test an MSH Client without having to =
install an MSH Application Server.  Are there any plans for freebXML.org =
to make a hosted MSH Application Server available for developers to test =
their MSH Clients with?

      Thank you.
