moving on to BIGGER not so much better things

After a careful analysis of the new search.jsp file from yesterday's project, i found that every bit of information I was hoping to learn from recreating this script, is all handled in the background by the java applets running on the tomcat connection. Thus all of the work I have done so far is to the avail of nothing more than chasing rabbits...

Agravated, I began to look for the source for this java applet and all it's components, only to find that I need to get subversion from apache in order to get the source, as it is only held in a repository and no packages exist for it. So I downloaded the subversion app and installed it. After a few failed attempts of trying to checkout the current source, I decided to HUNT for the proper syntax to use subversion to get the source. I found the one line command that EVERYONE has executed to get this source before me, only to find that on my computer it does not work.

After a little more searching, I found one other source that i could download the source from. The catch is that i would have to right click each file and do a save as routine on each of about 200 files. Thinking to myself that this is bogus, I decided to start to write a php script to do it for me. that is where i am leaving today and will continue tomorrow.


Loushou.
