[ebxmlms-general] rookie questions

[Geilfuss, B. <Bra...@Si...>]

Hi-

I'm trying to get my first install(s) of hermes up (on a mac OSX machine =
as well as a win2k machine with varying results)

I have a few questions.

1. the msh.properties.xml list includes properties for a proxy as well =
as a SMTP server.  what if I just want direct http/https connections- =
how do I specify this?  when i specify a url under the Request.send() =
method, is that the recipient machine's url as the documentation seems =
to infer?  if so, where (or how) do i specify the url of the sender =
machine that i'm attempting to send through if i'm not instantiating the =
Request object on the same machine?  Maybe I'm misunderstanding the =
nature of the Request object- but i thought it way to connect to a =
running instance of an MSH, which would then route my message to the =
target MSH.

2. when i try to run the loopback example, i keep getting the following =
error:

	hk.hku.cecid.phoenix.message.handler.RequestException: Malformed =
MessageServiceHandler URL!

I found an archived reference to this, the proposed solution to which =
was locating a new copy of the msh.properties.xml file in the directory =
from within the client was started.  My property file seems to be in the =
right place however, and (i believe) its a working property file because =
tomcat uses it and gives me the high five "MSH is alive..." message, but =
still i get this error.  any guesses?

thanks much,
brad
