Here are some documents describing our design idea.

Rushi and Pavan

OK, What I plan to do is to start writing about the core problem, and 
the features we should have in IMV to solve the core problem.

I will start sending these mails to this list so they get archived.

Give me some time!

I had configured IMV with Vinod's help last year on my linux machine. Since
then I have almost forgot what it was about. Need documents to refresh about
the same. Understanding the software configuration(apache, servlet etc.)
itself is not difficult but I need to understand what IMV is all about. I
had some  documents that were prepared by Vinod and Priyanka. One of the
document had tourism in the city of Bijapur as example to understand the
concept and looked like Priyanka had spent enough time on that. Will be
better if we can have them on the net and link them to imview.org. I can do
that if you guys have some suggestions. But I need the documents at first.

Basic question is, say I have the html documents where do I post them? On
sourceforge.net makes sense to me and then VG or myself can point imview.org
to point to this location.

But still basic to that is my understanding of the concept of IMV.
Waiting for your help to start.

I downloaded older versions of webmacro and protomatter and got it to 
compile. I have reorganised the directory structure so that the source 
is isolated from the bytecode (classes). I am using ant to build the 
application.

I also managed to deploy the application on tomcat and figured out what 
init params are required to be provided. I am using Washington IMAPD as 
backend. I want to use imap://imv:imv@socrates/imvds as the datasource. 
I had to make some changes to the source (IMAPDataSource:StoreInfo) 
because the foldername is hard-coded and not read from the properties 
file. Now I do not get any datasource errors from Syslog.

However, all links on the firstpage refer to:
    http://socrates:8080/null/Templ.....

The path to my servlet is configured as:
    http://socrates:8080/imv

I've also put this path as the URLRoot property in imp.properties file 
but apparently this is not being used. I also get the following debug 
code from Syslog:
15:34:38.830 01/25 [DBUG] [HttpProcessor[8080][4]] IMAPDataSource        
the context is null

I see some connection between "the context is null" and the "null" in 
the URLs.

Secondly, the opening page does not have any login/password box for 
logging in. Is there supposed to be a box? Is there some other static 
HTML page with a form that should be used before GETting the servlet? 
Are you using HTTPAuthentication mechanism for authentication? I have 
noticed that the openAuthenticators() method has Mysql/Gdbm 
authenticators commented out and UnixAuth set. Does this use regular 
UNIX shadowed password system or PAM?

Also, can you send me compressed version of some IMAP datasource 
(user.imv) so that I could plug it here for testing?

Thank you
Rushi

The version of webmacro we have used is version 0.89. You can download it from the net. If you have any problem, 
<br>
tell Vinod tomorrow. He will help you send it.

&gt; I realised that the problem with getting ImvCore to compile at my place 
<br>
&gt; was the case insensitive FAT32 filesystem. I had kept the source on 
<br>
&gt; FAT32 so that I could share it with windows. Anyway, I\'ve converted the 
<br>
&gt; build method from \'make\' to \'ant\' (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant). 
<br>
&gt; However, I\'m getting one error with the org.webmacro.util package. The 
<br>
&gt; version of webmacro that I\'ve downloaded does not have the 
<br>
&gt; org.webmacro.util.Log class. Can you e-mail me the webmacro.jar 
<br>
&gt; (gzipped) file that you use to compile?
<br>
&gt; 
<br>
&gt; After I\'ve got it compiled, I\'ll have to ask some more questions on how 
<br>
&gt; to deploy the software (i.e. where do the property files and the .wm 
<br>
&gt; files go, how to configure the backend IMAP server etc).
<br>
&gt;
