How can I help!
Mike,
I've had dreams wanting something like what Xang does. I scoured the web for
months trying to find something that handles XML, XSL, and JavaScript. It
has huge potential!
I have some issues with the project. First, how in the heck do I install it?
Where's all the documentation. It seem quite sparse and difficult to
understand.
I want to work on this project. I'm extremely passionate about Xang. How can
I become involved!?
Jason

Good gravy, you are exactly what I've been looking for...
Wonderful!
My AIM name is <JasonWohlford>. My ICQ number is <112823231>. Your
welcome to chat with me on which ever. Right now, you'll find me on AIM
more often.
I'll be able to help with development best between the hours of
8:30-5:00 p.m. CST at work. I have great flexibility from my wonderful
employer Brian Belsterling, President of The Copy Center. As long as I
can show, if asked, that I am benefiting The Copy Center and get the
rest of my work done it will be fine. Therefore, I'd eventually like to
convert my client-side JavaScript site at <SylvanOrder.com> to Xang.
I have a very strong understanding of JavaScript. I also understand XML
to a reasonable degree. (Hey, what's really to understand.) I'm quite
weak in XSL; and have almost no knowledge of Apache configuration. That
being said, I love to code. I love to code to spec. I love XML, XSL, the
DOM, and JavaScript and am passionate about them. They rock.
I accept and agree with the Apache license and am very interested in
contributing to open source. Although I like Linux, I'm not much for the
GPL. I do like the FreeBSD license very much, although I've never run
straight FreeBSD.
This is my configuration is the tricky part. At work, I am running Mac
OS X (based on many BSDs). It has Apache built in. According to Apple it
also has a very strong Java2 environment. The Mac OS X box is what I'll
be using most of the time. At home, I should have a Linux-Mandrake 8.0
box running this weekend. My replacement motherboard should be arriving
today or tomorrow. It has telnet and maybe SSH access? How shall I
proceed?

Good gravy, you are exactly what I've been looking for...
The installation instructions are a bit old & are on the apache site - I
will help you get it installed on whatever servlet engine you currently
have.
Xang is a Java servlet, which requires a servlet engine. I wrote it with
JServ, but have moved to Tomcat since then. There are a few
incompatibilities between servlet engines & between versions of the Java
servlet specification from Sun.
While we get this thing configured for you machine, tell me a bit about your
software environment & what you hope to do with Xang.
If you have an instant messaging client, we can chat during your
installation & I can work through any problems that might pop up.
Mike
Here are the instructions I wrote a long time ago:
===
The Apache Xang engine is currently implemented as a Java Servlet. You must
include xang.jar, xalan.jar, xerces.jar and fesi.zip in the Servlet class
path. Consult your Servlet engine documentation for detailed instructions.
The Xang servlet needs to be registered with your Servlet engine. The
servlet class name is: org.apache.xang.net.http.object.impl.HTTPObjectServer
The servlet initialization parameters are: config=full-path/to/your/xang.cfg
For the Apache JServ servlet engine, this is the configuration information
to place in zone.properties to register the Xang servlet:
servlet.org.apache.xang.net.http.object.impl.HTTPObjectServer.initArgs=confi
g=full-path/to/your/xang.cfg
In addition, the Web server or Servlet engine needs to be configured to pass
requests to files with a .XAP extension to the Xang servlet. Consult your
Servlet engine documentation for detailed instructions.
For the Apache JServ servlet engine, this is the configuration information
to place in zone.properties to register the Xang servlet:
servlet.org.apache.xang.net.http.object.impl.HTTPObjectServer.initArgs=confi
g=D:\projects\apache\modules\xml-xang\java\src\org\apache\xang\xap\xang.cfg
For the Apache JServ servlet engine, this is the configuration information
to place in the jserv.conf for getting the Xang servlet to handle .xap
files:
ApJServAction .xap
/servlets/org.apache.xang.net.http.object.impl.HTTPObjectServer
To run XSLT extensions, include bsf.jar and bsfengines.jar. All these JAR
files are distributed with Xalan. For extensions implemented in JavaScript
or another scripting language, see the Xalan extensions language
requirements to identify any additional JAR files you must place on the
class path and where you can get them.

One more thing,
If you have Tomcat or another J2EE compatible servlet engine, I can put
together a .war file that has all the runtime files ready to be installed.
