A.  Introduction

    The protocol-smb plugins allows you to crawl Microsoft Windows shares. It implements
    the CIFS/SMB protocol which is commonly used on Microsoft OS. The plugin replicate the
    behaviour of the protocol-file over CIFS/SMB protocol. This plugin uses the JCifs library and also
    support all the properties from the JCifs library.
    You can find more information on the following site: http://jcifs.samba.org/
    The smb protocol syntax for crawling is as follow: smb://xxxxx (i.e. smb://server/share).
    
B.  Installation

    1) Binaries only:   The protocol-smb files can be found in the ../plugins directory.
				Copy the "protocol-smb" to NUTCHHOME/build/plugins directory.
                        Put the "smb.properties" file in the NUTCHHOME/conf directory.
                        Configure the properties in "smb.properties" file
                        Enable the plugin by updating "nutch-site.xml" file found in NUTCHHOME/conf directory
				e.g. <property>
    				     	<name>plugin.includes</name>
    				     	<value>protocol-smb| other plugins...</value>
    				     	<description>
 	 			     	</description>
 	 			     </property>

    2)  Source code:    The protocol-smb sources can be found in the ../src directory.
				Always refer to the Nutch wiki for detailed instructions on building Nutch.  In short:
                        Copy the 'protocol-smb' folder to NUTCHHOME/src/plugin
                        Update the build.xml in NUTCHHOME/src/plugin to include plugin
                        Update the NUTCHHOME/default.properties file to include plugin
                        run ant to build
                        Copy the 'smb.properties' file to NUTCHHOME/conf, and configure the properties
                        Enable the plugin by updating the nutch-site.xml file

C: Known Issues

    1) URLMalformedException: unkown protocol: smb

       The SMB URL protocol handler is not being successfully installed. 
       In short, the jCIFS jar must be loaded by the System class loader.

       Workaround: a) a short term solutions will be to installed the JCIFS jar 
                      library found in protocol-smb folder in 
                      JDKHOME/jre/lib/ext and (or) JREHOME/lib/ext

                   b) After completing step a), if the exeception is still thrown
                      set the System properties by passing the following arguments
                      to the JVM: 

                      -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=jcifs

			 c) You can set the property also in your Code for example if 
			    you start Crawling with org.apache.nutch.crawl.Crawl
			    Add the following two lines. This will be the Same like in b)
			    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
	  		    	System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "jcifs");
				new java.util.PropertyPermission("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","read, write")
				//and so on

       Also you can visit the FAQ page: http://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/faq.html

    2) FATAL smb.SMB - Could not read content of protocol: smb://xxxxxx

       This problem usually occurs if the following properties are not set correctly in
       the "smb.properties" file:

       - username
       - password
       - domain

       Also refer to the following resources for more information on the list of
       available properties and how to set them:

       http://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/api/overview-summary.html#scp
       Also you can visit the FAQ page: http://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/faq.html

       N.B. All properties should set in the "smb.properties" file. You can set 
            all supported JCIFS properties in the "smb.properties" file.
     
    3) Only tested on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Please report any tests 
       conclusion on other OS.
