[SourceJammer-users] Re: SourceJammer GUI Client - Exception

[Robert M. <rob...@ho...>]

Hi, Sindhu.

I think you have not set up a local "archive definition" telling the GUI the 
info it needs to connect to your archive.

The dialog you see when you first start the GUI is called the Archives 
dialog. You can also get this dialog by selecting Connection | Connect. This 
dialog should show a list of all the archive definitions you have created. 
If you have not created any archive definitions, then the list will be 
blank.

I think I need to put a doc on the site explaining this a little better. 
I've always feared that this was a confusing part of the system.

To create an archive definition:
1. Select Connection | Connect (or Connection | Maintain Archive List).
2. Click the New button.
3. In the "Archive" dialog, enter the following:
    a) A name for this archive . . . : Any name you want. Display only
    b) URL: the URL to your SourceJammer server (for example, 
http://localhost:8080/sourcejamer/servlet/rpcrouter")
    c) Archive Name: the name of the archive you created. For example, 
"MyArchive".

4. When you're done, click OK.
5. Now you should see the archive definition you just created in the list in 
the Archives dialog.
6. Select your archive and click Connect.

Hope this helps.
