[Opensst-developer] Re: Request for suggestions

[<S.S...@au...>]

Hello,

I have significantly changed the way the client locates its 
configuration file.
I created a openSST-client.war file that can be deployed on tomcat as 
well
This should reduced the complexity to start the client since all config 
files are now relative to the localhost:8080 URL instead of my local 
directory structure.
The changes are commited to CVS

I know have to rewrite the readme to decsribe step by step what needs 
to be done to start the whole think, starting from an empty machine :-)

This involves compiling the code but also signing libs (to be 
distributed with JWS), creating the server key pair, the user db etc ...

I'll try to do this next week

normally, tomcat shoudl start silently without any error.
The tomcat code is only activated when the first request arrives... any 
tomcat error before handling the fisrt opensst request is probably not 
linked with opensst itself.

May I suggest you to subscribe on the developer mailing list, this will 
make our conversations more easy to archive :-)

Thanks
