XJMS - The eXtensible Media Server / News: Recent posts

The Metallic 6086N from GCT ALLWELL will be used as the reference set-top box hardware. Information on this platform can be found here: http://www.gctglobal.com/Products/Metallic_6086/metallic_6086.html

We've ordered 2 for initial testing - more info once they arrive in late February, early March.

Jeff has been working on the first EJBs for Album and Track - check out his recent code in CVS

I hit a CVS problem - I've sent an email to the sourceforge support folks to fix it or provide me with instructions to fix it. For now, if you want to build xjms, go to xjms/freedb/src/com/xjms/freedb and rename Track-tempfix-rename.java to Track.java

The CoverLocator and freedb packages now have ANT build scripts, and I've added a new build_all.bat that will build the entire project.

You should be able to checkout the entire project, cd to xjms/build and run build_all.bat

How about one of you UNIX folks creating a shell script that does the same thing on UNIX :>)

I moved a _very early_ database creation script into CVS - I also created xjms/Database/scripts to hold it. This is just a placeholder script while I learn more on the EJBs and start thinking through the schema.

Packages com.xjms.freedb and com.xjms.CoverLocator are now on CVS - I HAVE NOT tried to pull them back down to rebuild, and I have NOT created ANT scripts for those packages.

the freedb code contains a stateful session bean, and the CoverLocator code contains a stateless bean. Both started as the JDEV wizards, then I modified them from there. To build them, you'll need the jboss ejb jars in the classpath, along with the JNDI stuff - I'll get the ant stuff working soon for those packages & you can see the jars, or read the jboss docs for the ejb client samples - they get you close :>)... read more

Thanks to Craig, we now have email for CVS commits - use the LISTS feature to sign up! (Warning, I make lots of CVS mistakes - there will be lots of email!)

http://www.xjms.com now redirects you to the sourceforge project site until we have some real html content about the project. Any volunteers??

Required thirdparty libs such as jdom, java comm, and the jboss libraries are now included in CVS to standardize builds using ANT.

CVS now contains a build.xml for the slinke module that compiles the slinke module and creates xjms-slinke.jar

There are now files available on CVS :>)
