[lug] Kaffe compiler quirk

Mon Mar 12 07:18:15 MST 2001

Hello,

I'm trying to build a servlet on my RH6.2 box with Kaffe and have run into a
previously reported bug in the Kaffe bug database.  
In the doPost method, the compiler recognizes a call to
PrintWriter.getWriter(), but throws a compile
error when I pass the HttpServletResponse object to another method, and make
the same call there.  It's really quirky on other
accounts, too.

Anyway, could someone suggest a reliable compiler to use for Java/Servlets?
The Kaffe bug database reply suggested using Jikes.

Thanks!
Anne George

Reply-To: lug at lug.boulder.co.us

I'm trying to locate an image of some format useful for a web page
display of the Boulder County area. Which means there can't be
commercial licensing involved. The best possible map would include roads
and political boundaries, possibly landmarks too. Does anyone in BLUG
know of some map like this? Nearby areas would be useful too, though I'm
not interested in too far away, other than say Denver through Fort
Collins.

This is one I considered briefly, but it is too low resolution. It also
has an inability to be saved with the right click and "save image as",
probably due to its asp programming. Add to this the fact that it is
tiled and in reality it is 6 smaller maps, all copyrighted, and it
becomes impossible to use it effectively. It is the right idea though,
so I wonder where they get their original data.

hello all,

i wanted to post this to start testing with a few more people.

the camera server is using a bt878 card, rs-232 controllable high speed pan
tilt, apache, php, mysql (for chat / photo album / user rights) and some c
code to talk to the camera cgi.

feel free to poke at it, every user needs a unique username, login.. skip
the email in reg unless you want to have it mail you frames or send
postcards of stills from the cam..

we will be releasing the code and a cookbook howto as soon as we have
finalized the feature set and have things documented..

thanks in advance for any feedback,

Hello,

I am a newbie to Linux and I was wondering if anyone has used the =
Xerces-J XML parser.
I am using RH6.2 and Kaffe.  Kaffe came with the distribution, so the =
only other packageI've
installed is JServ.

I was looking at the downloads from =
http://xml.apache.org/xerces-j/index.html, and downloaded both
 Xerces-J-tools.1.3.0.tar.gz   - the latest build
 Xerces-J-src.1.3.0.tar.gz           - the latest source

How do I know if which, if either, of these packages will work with =
RH6.2?
Should I definately build the source?=20
Should I even attempt to build the source with the Kaffe JDK?

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Anne

Subject: [lug] how does Xwrapper work?
Reply-To: lug at lug.boulder.co.us

hi there!

just curious how Xwrapper works.

as i recall, X was a direct soft sym link to an
X server. either XSVGA_Server or something like
that.

i've noticed though, over many releases, this
has changed. now i'm not too sure what X links
to, how it is related to Xwrapper, and how Xwrapper
links to various specific X servers.

reason i'm asking, because recently wanted to
tweak (as in change, or do some sort of hacking)
the X servers manually, and i find that
i didn't really know how anymore.

could any guru please enlighten this blur soul?

thanks

khchan

Try tiger.census.gov

The maps are rather good:

Xwrapper is a setuid root program that allows a normal user to start an
X server. It validates the command-line arguements, then passes them on
to the X server configured for your system. On my KRUD (Red Hat) 7.0
box, that means executing '/etc/X11/X', which is a symlink to the proper
X server in /usr/X11R6/bin.

Hope this helps.

I haven't tried it with Kaffe, but it did seem to work for me with
Sun's 1.3 JDK for Linux:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download-linux.html

I'm not sure how *well* it works, because the stylesheets I used were
broken, but given that Xerces is an Apache project, I'm willing to
give it the benefit of the doubt...
