Hi,
I'm a new user of alexandria and have some problems and questions about it:
I downloaded the source of alexandria jakarta-alexandria via cvs.
(1) The first try to compile this results in an error:
..../jakarta-alexandria/build.xml:19:
/home/roland/apache/jakarta-site2/lib not found.
Why do I need this module? It would be nice, when the download descriptions
gives a hint about that.
(2) After downloading jakarta-site2, I got an error:
No JAXP compliant XML parser found. See http://java.sun.com/xml for the
reference implementation.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory

I was working with lib/xerces.jar. When I replaced xerces with a new version
1.4, the build completed. Why is this??
(3) After replacing xerces.jar. I go an error during the prepare:
[chmod] /bin/chmod: zuwenige Argumente
[chmod] Versuchen Sie »/bin/chmod --help« für weitere Informationen.
[chmod] Result: 1
but fortunately, the build finished
(4) Building the javadoc, I got an error and some warnings:

(5) When I tried to use a new Xalan-version (from 5/25/2001), I got some
other errors for javadocs:

Why does this happen?
(6) When I run the alexandria script in build/alexandria, I get the error:

I tried the old and new Xerces and Xalan, but the error still remains. What
can I do???
(7) Finally, I have a question about the workspace:
- Which workspace file is taken (I found 4 workspace.xml in the
distribution; I think the correct one is in the etc directory)?
Is there any help about my problems???
Thanks in advance

Hello again.
We've just discovered another bug in Alexandria. The JXR target is

This error seems to originate in the unmarshalling method of the Castor
framework. There is little information about the error which makes
debugging it hard since we don't have much inside knowledge about
Alexandria.
On a final note we would like to query about the status of Alexandria.
We've posted a few messages to the mailing lists but replies haven't
exactly been pouring in. Also we are surprised that basic functionality
like the build file are broken in CVS. So our question is: Is anybody
working on the core functionality of Alexandria? We see some traffic on
the Alexandria-CVS mailing list but most of the commits there are on xml
files which have little or nothing to do with Alexandrias basic
function.
Please reply to us when you can. We would very much like to support the
Jakarta project and use the products but we do have second thoughts when
the projects are in such a bad shape.
Kind regards, Stefan Freyr Stefansson

Hi, I've been trying to get Alexandria to work and now I'm wondering if I have all the files. After doing various searches, and not finding very much (especially since last May or so), I was wondering, is Alexandria still an ongoing project? The website at relativity.yi.org/alexandria which the site at jakarta.apache.org/alexandria points to, doesn't have any CVS or "Browse" information. It says it is there, but when you try to access it, you get a file Not Found error. The docs say something about an "Alexandria srcript", but I haven't found that in my distribution.... Any insight would be greatly appreciated.... Peace, Dave. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: alexandria-users-unsubscribe@jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: alexandria-users-help@jakarta.apache.org
Hello. I'm wondering what the status of the project is? I first heard of alexandria about a month ago and I've been waiting for it ever since. My company is working on restructuring their source code management systems and currently I'm routing for an (almost) all apache/jakarta solution. We have CVS as the source management system, we're using tomcat as a webserver in one of our server applications, apache is used in our biggest web projects, we use ant to create builds of those projects and we uphold the Javadoc code commenting scheme. So we have everything ready but only need alexandria to help us put it all together. We've looked at Alexandria a little bit but decided not to spend too much time into getting it up and running before the project was in a bit more stable state. So now I ask you what the state is? How is the documentation coming along. One of the biggest reasons for us not to spend time on alexandria was that we could find very little documentation about the setup of the system. How to actually connect it to apache and CVS? Is there anything new there? One final note. We noticed that all the different projects in alexandria on the apache web do not contain cross references in the Javadoc. This probably means that each project is taken and the Javadoc is created seperately. We have an idea that would mean getting all the source code in one place and generating the Javadoc on that. That way one project that uses classes from another project would have a reference to the other projects classes Javadocs which would be very convenient. Then the index files for each project could be generated independantly so that each project would have an index file with only the relative classes. We would be willing to look into patching Alexandria to behave in this manner if we see that setting it up as it is now would give us some benefits. Please tell me what you think of the idea for the patch and also if you can give me a status update and even some documentation/instructions for setting up.

I am getting closer. Turned out one of my major problems was in my xml files
- I was getting errors from CVS saying access was denied to a repository,
when in fact the problem was that the repository I was asking for didn't
exist. My CVSROOT was set to
'/net/houfiler02/vol/vol2/cvs',
when it should have been
'/net/houfiler02/vol/vol2/cvs/tahoe'
Very frustrating finding that one.
Now when I run alexandria.bat, it hangs during the ChangeLog task. I suspect
the task is getting stuck in some sort of state-machine loop, and I've been
adding println's to the code to see if that is indeed the case or not. Need
to work on that (in addition to my real work) more today.

Thanks Jeff - I have gotten the current sources as of yesterday afternoon. I

I think you've picked up an old version of Alexandria currently there isn't a release as such but the latest source code can be checked out from the Jakarta cvs repository http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Donie To: 'alexandria-users@jakarta.apache.org' Sent: Monday, February 05, 2001 10:43 PM Subject: getting started I've just heard of the project and gotten started - downloaded what is available on the website.

I've just check in the files that I've been working on to move towards the new workspace definition. This means that from now on Alexandria WILL NOT WORK with older versions of the definitions files. The workspace is now like this -> http://jakarta.apache.org/cvsweb/index.cgi/jakarta-alexandria/src/xml/workspace.xml?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup <http://jakarta.apache.org/cvsweb/index.cgi/jakarta-alexandria/src/xml/workspace.xml?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup> with the project and repositories seperated out into seperate files. The new workspace.xml is more an example than for any other use and alexandria still look by default for a file called global.xml, but you will need to migrate any current global.xml files to the new structure. To make life easier I've created a XSLT called migrate0.2.xml which will convert any existing files to the new format (Hopefully without any need for manual changes) I would suggest that if anyone is worried about current definitions breaking that they not check out code from CVS for a while just incase there are any issues floating around.
It's okay Josh's patch fixes this one. I did reply to Andreas but the
reply-to thing meant I replyed to him not the list ;0)

I have set CLASSPATH to several locations on my disk where ant, Xalan and some of those projects live, but it should be fairly enough if my alexandria dir is part of it. It tells me about 'org.apache.alexandria.xml.api.alltests', 'org.apache.alexandria.xml.api.stats' and many more. What can I do about that? Thanks Andy -- Andreas Holmer Private: h.andy@gmx.de Neuburger Software AG Work: andreas.holmer@neuburger.de "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you get." (Forrest Gump)
Good question. If your talking about does it crash a lot kind of stability,
it's pretty stable already it's build on top of Ant, Xerces and Xalan which
are stable. I've got alexandria running the build and test phases on a half
hourly cron and I've not had any problems with it failing.
What we've not reached is a point where the structure of the project is set
in concrete. There's also some work that needs to be done to complete the
JXR engine.
I'd probably say where maybe 3 month away from a "release". But a lot of
this time is required to pull together some proper documentation.

thanks for the prompt and very descriptive answer. I am just wondering
whether you know how the status of the project.. What I'm mostly looking
at is when there will be a stable version ready?
Kind regards,

Ah, you've spotted the almost total lack of documentation. My fault it's
a
big note at the top of my todo list.
The stuff that's on the alexandria site is out of date. I'd suggest you
get
the latest version of alexandria from cvs (note: alexandria has not
reach a
stable release so this will change). You will also need a copy of Ant
1.2.
Building
=========
- Execute the build.xml file in the root dir.
- (If you get an error try touching one of the .xsd files in the src/xml
dir
and rebuilding).
- This should create a directory call dist this contains the actuall
alexandria distribution.
Configuring
============
- In the new dist/alexandria/etc edit the global.xml and
AlexandriaResources.properties files.
- Edit the AlexandriaResources.properties file so that it points to the
area
under your web server where you want alexandria to be. e.g.
/var/www/html/code
#=== Sample AlexandriaResources.properties
=====================================
#the source file for CVS Markup.
jxr.markup.file=./src/xml/global.xml
#Destination directory for JXR output
jxr.destination.directory=/var/www/html/code/html/jxr
#images for JXR. These are actually copied over to the desired location
so
a
#file is required here.
jxr.image.file=/var/www/html/code/html/file.gif
jxr.image.folder=/var/www/html/code/html/folder.gif
#Directory where Alexandria does its CVS checkouts to.
cvs.checkout.directory=/var/www/html/code/cvs
content.dir=/var/www/html/code
# Size of blame history
blame.size=50
#=======================================================================
====
===
Within the global.xml file you need a reposistry entry for each cvs
server
you have. CVS servers can be anywhere on the internet or on and internal
network. Within each repository you can setup multiple module entries
for
each cvs module you want alexandria to display.
The build and test tags are used to invoke ant build files to build and
test
your code. The test stuff is designed to work with the ant junit task (I
can
give you more details of that if you like).

</module>
</repository>
Running it
===========
- Execute the alexandria script
How it Works
=============
Alexandria is based around Ant and using XSL transformations to generate
build files for ant.
The main build file is alexandria.xml this controls the whole build
process.
It uses the master file global.xml which is transformed using the XSL
files
to produce the alexandria menus and a serious of build files which are
then
included in the alexandria.xml file:
- build.cvs.xml - Handles the checking out of files from cvs
- build.build.xml - Handles the building of ant projects
- build.javadoc.xml - handles the javadocing of code
- build.test.xml - handles running junit test via ant
alexandria.xml will also run the JXR task which handles the cross
referencing of java code list LXR
I hope this gives you an idea of what's going on. If you have ant more
questions you know where we are. Hopefully I'll get that documentian
done at
some point soon.

Hello.
I would like to know if there is any documentation about setting up
Alexandria. We are setting up a trial environment with CVS. We would
like to use Ant to build our projects and use JavaDoc. Alexandria seems
to do everything we would like to have but I don't really understand
it... how does it actually work? Does it need to be running on the same
machine as the CVS server? How do you connect it to the CVS server? I
can not find any documentation about this at all. I had a very hard
time finding the alexandria.zip file too. Do I have the right file? Do
I need something else? It seems to me that it doesn't really include
very many things so I'm sceptical that I have the right file.
Can anybody help me?
Kind regards and thanks in advance.

Just tried a clean build and flushed out a few problems. Most notable was the dependance on the turbine-2.0.jar. I've added this into cvs now but to be honest I think we're only using one object within it which is the ResourceProperties thingy and I think this should actually be replaced by moving JXR to be an ant task rather than using a properties file to configure it. I've also added a couple of .xsd files which I left out :( -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Holmer [mailto:andreas.holmer@neuburger.de] Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2000 12:47 PM To: alexandria-users@java.apache.org Subject: Cannot build alexandria Hi!

Hello everyone- I am a bit of a Java newbie, and one of the things I have found most frustrating in learning Java is absorbing all of the APIs, and learning which packages have the function or class that I need. I always thought Sun should have established some kind of web-like search function for the API, such that Java newbies could quickly and easily find the exact class or function they needed. Does such a utility exist, and if not, have any of you considered adding such a function to Alexandria? Do you think such a function would be useful? Are there any Open Source Java-based implementations of search engines that could be easily integrated into Alexandria? Of course, if this were added to Alexandria, it could easily be applied not only to the Java API, but to any API that is organized by Alexandria. This might help developers that are new to Open Source projects get up to speed more quickly. Sincerest regards, Chris Todd Software Engineer Alabanza Corporation ctodd@alabanza.com
Hiya. It seems like the apache organisation is spitting out a new java or xml technology each day. Just trying to keep up the phase. Anyway, Alexandria looks very interesting, however I can't seem to find out how to obtain the "program" ? if that's what it is... or is it just a specification? or perhaps just an API. I tried obtaining the source via. CVS, but WinCVS gives me this error: U alexandria/bin/antRun cvs server: Updating alexandria/build cvs server: failed to create lock directory in repository `/usr/src/cvsroot/alexandria/build': Permission denied cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/usr/src/cvsroot/alexandria/build' cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up - Ramosa
