[SourceJammer-users] RE: How do I create a new archive

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

Hi, Anakreon.

(Sorry about having your names switched before).

Basically, 1) is the local alias you use to refer to
an archive on a server. 2) is the full URL to the
server. 3) is the name of the archive on the server.

Thus, I can create an archive on "myserver" called
"MyArchive" and another archive on "myotherserver"
also called "MyArchive". I can set up local aliases
for both as follows:

1) MyArchive on myserver
2) http://myserver/sourcejammer/servlet/rpcrouter
3) MyArchive

1) MyArchive on myotherserver
2) http://myotherserver/sourcejammer/servlet/rpcrouter
3) MyArchive

Also, there is a reason I require the entire path in
2). The path is actually configurable on the server
side. So it's possible to have a server where the path
is something like:

http://myserver/sj/rpcrouter

Or basically anything else you want. You just have to
know how to configure your servlet container.
