Re: [aperi-dev] Some issues about Aperi

[Khan M Tasinga <kmtasing@xxxxxxxxxx>]

With respect to Data Server documentation
and supporting examples, I can help out with that. Ben, are there any areas
of the code in which you are particularly interested?

Ben 
I see.  You need a new build that contains a fix to bug
191750.  A new build is
posted to 
        http://www.eclipse.org/aperi/downloads.php
It has not undergone the rigorous testing as done with the milestone build.
 I actually found a bug in the configuration (choose 'no' when asked
to download 3rd party libraries).  I'll log the bug.  Let me
know if this contains the fix you are looking for. 

Existing TPC Gui: 
Yes, that would be a nice form of compatibility.  Would you like to
work on function - as a committer?  We can make sure you have all
the support you need... let us know.   

Documentation: 
Good point.  Please use bugzilla to document issues... places where
more documentation would be helpful.   

Thanks again Ben.

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

The version 0.3.1 is very good (though i can't do many things, because
 
i have no SAN here (just a database ...))
The problem for me is that i have no binary build to test my plugins  
on other machines, and i have some problems with building it myself.  
The bug 191750 was opened after Aperi 0.3.1, so far i know.

Sorry, it was not clear what i wrote. I know about the mirroring of  
Eclipse, but what I meant was a link
for the newer (weekly?) 'Interim Builds'.

I need this because we have no SAN, we just have a TPC database. For  
now, I changed some things (mostly in the configuration) to get it  
work with the TPC database.
But perhaps it would be good for others, too. Think of a situation  
like this: A company wants to test Aperi and
has TPC already working. They don't want to do a whole new discovery,  
because it costs time. So it would be great to use the existing data,  
wouldn't it?

The most difficult thing for me was the GUI (-> aperiMenuPath). I  
found no other way to get into the GUI, especially i couldn't get in  
the BaseTree ...
The other thing is the dataserver. The documentation is good, but very
 
short. Some examples would be great.
Most of problems i had were with the Request/Response objects and my  
own RequestHandler. It's now working, but
it was hard to get it so.


Best regards,
Benjamin
