Hmm. Your web.xml file (if you're using the one that
came with the server install) should have a node under
"AppConfigInitServlet" node that reads:

<load-on-startup>
-2147483645
</load-on-startup>

This should load the "SysConfig" servlet when the
SourceJammer server is first started. It looks like
this is not working for you for some reason.

No, the problem is not with your English. This dialog
is very confusing. It has always been confusing. But I
haven't yet come up with a way to make it less
confusing other than to document it on my FAQ page. If
you have any ideas, please let me know.

From the client FAQ page
(http://sourcejammer.org/clientFAQ.html):

How do I connect the SourceJammer client GUI to a
server?

First, you need to make sure you have a SourceJammer
server up and running that you can connect to. For
questions about getting the server up and running,
please refer to the server FAQs.

When you first start the SourceJammer client GUI, a
dialog called "Archives" will pop up. This dialog
displays of list of SourceJammer archives that your
client knows how to connect to. Before your client can
know how to connect to an archive, you have to give it
the connection information.

To set up the connection information for an archive,
click the New button.

After you click the new button, a 2nd dialog called
"Archive" pops up. This dialog has three text fields.

1.

In the first field ("A name for this archive and
URL"), you can enter any name you want. This is the
name that will appear on the list in the "Archives"
dialog.

2.

In the 2nd field ("URL for the SourceJammer server"),
enter the URL for the SourceJammer server you want to
connect to. This will most likely be something like
http://<someURL>/sourcejammer/servlet/rpcrouter.

3.

In the 3rd field ("Archive name on the server") enter
the name of the archive you want to connect to. If you
have not created any archives on your server yet, you
will need to create an archive before you can connect.

When you have entered the information, click OK. Now
you will see the name of the archive you entered in
the Archives list. Select this archive and click
"Connect" to connect to it.

Thanks.
