Hi Eric, there’s some information about our interactive movie theatre at http://grep.codeconsult.ch/2003/11/21/java-flash-and-beanshell-winning-team/ and http://grep.codeconsult.ch/2004/01/16/exam-day-rediscovering-linux/ , including links to some tools that we used. I think that team is still using similar technology for a new project, but I’m not involved anymore.

Dear Bertrand,

I was reading an Apache Incubation article you wrote and it seemed well-read, so I looked at your bio…

I am a sr. developer in the industry probably about as long as you – and I too, back in “the day” as it were, created actually one of the first interactive movie theaters. It was before the internet, and, although half the project was software, the other half of the project was the creation of custom “interactive hardware” (basically lighted keypads that were mounted on each theater-goers armrest). It was a fun project, would love to hear about yours….

Sincerely, Eric Holsinger

Such questions are best asked on the Sling users mailing lists, see http://sling.apache.org/site/project-information.html#ProjectInformation-lists

In continuation of the previous post, the URL http://localhost:8080/sling-launchpad-6/content/.explorer.item.html displays foonode which was the content I create via the curl command.

And yet, I am not able to navigate to this using the explorer.

Thanks
Santosh

Hi Bertrand,

I realize that what I am asking is not related to jcr-explorer. It has to do with the sling provided jquery explorer bundled with the latest sling version. I did not know where to ask the question, and hence I am asking it here.

If I should be raising this in a different forum or mailing list please point me there, and I will do so.

I downloaded and deployed sling launchpad 6 in apache tomcat 6.0.32 (OS: windows xp). My sling URL is http://localhost:8080/sling-launchpad-6/

I am able to successfully create content with the curl command:
curl -u admin:admin -F”sling:resourceType=foo/bar” -F”title=Foo Bar” http://localhost:8080/sling-launchpad-6/content/foonode
and view it via http://localhost:8080/sling-launchpad-6/content/foonode.json or foonode.html

However when I navigate to explorer URL http://localhost:8080/sling-launchpad-6/.explorer.html as per the sling documentation, while I get the basic interface, I also get a “HTTP Status 404 – /.explorer.item.html” error.

I am however able to manually navigate to http://localhost:8080/sling-launchpad-6/.explorer.item.html it displays the a set of resource links.

I must have missed something in the configuration or setup, but I cant figure out what!

These are the links displayed, although clicking on them does not do anything. They are HREFed to “#”
jcr:system
rep:policy
var
apps
index.html
signup.html
sling-logo.png
sling-test
sling.css
content
libs
system

Thanks
Santosh

Comment on So Java is more complex than Scala? You must be kidding by Alex

Java code is always horrible. To write and to read both. One of the most pointlessly verbose languages around.

Comment on Dear Oracle, can we have our nice javadoc URLs back? by phil

You are just sabotaging the good work of Sun.

Instead of kiliing Java , just give your licenses to Google
who will do a better hob.

I might add that I experienced the fun part you mention while being a student of yours at EPFL. Since then I’ve always kept interest in what you’re doing. Thanks to you I ma looking forward to the upcoming years in tech and IT.

Happy Birthday!

Comment on How to fix your project collaboration model? by bdelacretaz

bdelacretaz — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:56:52 +0000

Thanks Wendy, I actually agree – important/general discussions belong to the dev list in an Apache project, and people sometimes abuse the issue tracker for this.

I would suggest using the expected size of the discussion to help select where to have it – it it’s small and specific to the issue at hand, like a small clarification question, staying in the tracker is probably fine, but as you indicate everything that’s larger in scope or size should go back to the dev list.

As for permanent issue URLs, I think it’s important to have those. If an HTML-based issue tracker goes away, it should be easy to at least keep a static copy of the issue pages with the same URLs as a frozen archive of the tracker.
