Re: File Server and storage

Alistair: Serving files is quite easy from VisualWave. Do the following: Go Parcel Manager>>>Application Server >>> Sugesttions and load: VisualWave VisualWave Demos Click Web Server Console now found on Launcher. Click "Create Server" Choose "Server Type" to be: WaveHttpRequestBroker Change the "hostname" if you like, note that in the case of file serving it is irrelevant i.e. i.e. non-html files , pdf,etc Change the port if you like Click "Create" found at bottom of screen. Click on list entry above for newly created server. Click "Edit Resolver" Click "Add Path" Choose "Resolver Type" to be: VisualWave.FileResponder Enter Path for example "files" Note: path means a token on url used to locate the service, has nothing to do with a path on the file system , sorry had to be said just in case. Click "Accept" Select newly created responder from list on left side pane. Click "Configure Resolver" Change "Default Directory" if you do not like the specified location Click "Accept changes" Click "Back to Resolver" Click "Start" immediately underneath server listings which will activate your server. Then place content under the file system directory associated to FileResponder created above. then go to a web browser preferably Opera and enter something like: http://mydomain.com:9999/files/myfile.pdf, voila. Note that recently, they have re-configured Wave to exist under the Opentalk framework but did not have the time to update the UI's so there are some bugs related to that which you will not encounter if you follow the steps outlined above. For example if you decide you want to "edit" the port number you will encounter a bug associated to an AspectAdaptor assuming it was still adapting the same type of entity. Maybe that is fixed in 7.3. Hope that helps :) -Charles On Wed, 22 Dec 2004 22:05:51 +1100, Alistair Grant <alistair(a)alphalink.com.au> wrote:
