Installing Synapse - feedback

[da...@bt.com]

Hi everyone,

First of all, thanks for your tips during today's chat. I went back to
install Synapse the right way this time. I followed the steps described
in http://wiki.apache.org/ws/Synapse/UserGuide. Please find below my
comments in regards to the installation procedure.

A. Using the Synapse snapshot (latest being the M1)
1. I believe there's a small typo in the user guide. It says we should
be able to locate a folder synapse-repository but the unzipped contents
have a synapse_repository instead.
2. Keeping the previous typo in mind we can now run the following
command: bin\synapse synapse_repository 8080. However, once again there
seems to be a typo. The command should read bin\synapse
synapse_repository -p8080 (p added before the port number). As a matter
of fact, the trunk/java/xdocs/userguide.html does include the -p
command.

This brings us to running the following command in the synapse folder
(wherever the user extracted the snapshot):

D:\synapse>bin\synapse.bat synapse_repository -p8080

And the result is:

D:\synapse>"c:\j2sdk1.4.2_09\bin\java.exe"
-Djava.ext.dirs=D:\synapse\bin\..\lib;D:\synapse\bin\.. -cp
D:\synapse\bin\..\lib org.apache.axis2.transport.http.SimpleHTTPServer
synapse_repository -p8080

[SimpleHTTPServer] Starting
[SimpleHTTPServer] Using the Axis2 Repository
D:\synapse\synapse_repository
[SimpleHTTPServer] Listening on port 8080
- Deploying module : addressing
- Error in schema generating :null
- Error in schema generating :null
[SimpleHTTPServer] Started

Is the Error in schema generating: null normal?

One last detail... The user guide in the wiki doesn't include a link to
the M1 snapshot (http://www.apache.org/dist/ws/synapse/M1). It'd be
useful to add one.

B. Using maven to build and install Synapse
I'll have a look at installing Synapse with maven later on. I hope this
input may be of use to the project's user guide.

David.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'll update the UserGuide. In fact you can just do bin\synapse.... I ought
to have mentioned that :-)

Did you get the samples\ant stuff working?
Thats not in the UG yet, but the README in samples should help.
