20040215 - Okay, still working on stuff. First I'm working on installing L9 on a system for work. (Bleah).

Then I'm working on the factorial challenege - looks like I need to install Sybase (or something else) again. Grr


20040120 - Definitely need to visit update this site more often.

Okay, got through (mostly) working with JSPs and Struts. Still, this my little ol' static web site and frankly I like playing with it. Struts and JSP's are okay if you want to build a commerical web site - and I'm totally sold on Struts and Junit. Alas, work has me belting out Perl scripts again. (Just when you get used to JSPs....)


20031013 - Updated WebSite

Been a couple of busy weeks at work - developing in Struts and JSP. Considering it was all learning curve for me, it wasn't too bad at all.

But I'm finally done and frankly, my web site needs work BADLY.

I've automated the pushing of the pages to the website. (Simple little FTP script). That makes it a LOT easier.


20030831 - Installed TomCat
That turned out to be easier than I thought it would be. Download jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27 for Linux. Since I already had Java2 installed, all I had to do was create an environment variable JAVA_HOME pointed to my Java install location. Untar jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27-.tar. Move the directory where I wanted it to be and create a CATALINA_HOME environment variable pointing to this tomcat directory.

Then, simply do a $CATALINA_HOME/bin/start_up.sh to start the server and point my browser to http://localhost:8080

Note: these instructions are in the RUNNING.txt file. (Which is in the tar file...which you won't know to untar until er...anyway.)
