[news.eclipse.technology.ohf] Re: OHF Bridge 0.3.0 problems

["Robert Alkire" <ralkire@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I appreciate your feedback, and there is no doubt I am confused about a 
great many things...

testkit_6_9 combined with the downloads referred to by 
http://www.eclipse.org/ohf/components/bridge/install.php of 
org.eclipse.ohf.ihe_0.2.0M2-incubation.zip and 
org.eclipse.ohf.bridge-install_0.2.0M2-incubation.zip.  Now I admit, it just 
gives the link to the downloads, not what to do with them or any other such 
details.  However, I pass the configuration test and 11710 with that 
combination installed exactly as I described for the 0.3 versions.


http://localhost:8080/bridge/services was a typo where I left off 
http://localhost:8080/bridge/services/ohf-bridge.
The bridge as I understand it is simply a WS passthrought to RHIOs 
configured in rhioConfig.xml to those actors that provide the actual service 
implementations.

You may be correcty about not installing the other jars in lib, but it was 
my belief that the plugins in the war would be used first before using one 
from the lib.   I will try it without them and see.

Thanks,
Robert
