Broken link on the web site "papers" page?

[Bryan Pendleton <bp...@amberpoint.com>]

Hi All,

On the "Resources" page of the web site, http://db.apache.org/derby/integrate/index.html,
in the "Papers" section, in the "Derby Engine" subsection, there is a link entitled
"Type System".

The "Type System" link is a link to:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/java/engine/org/apache/derby/iapi/types/package.html

When I click on this link in my browser (Mozilla Firefox), it doesn't recognize
the result as an HTML document and just displays the raw HTML. Is this because of the
new license section at the head of this document?

Interestingly, in the generated Javadoc section of the web site, the corresponding
link displays just fine:
http://db.apache.org/derby/javadoc/engine/org/apache/derby/iapi/types/package-summary.html#package_description

So one possible fix would be to change the "Type System" link to point to this page,
rather than pointing into the version in the svn.apache.org location.

thanks,

bryan

FYI, I made this change, pointing the type system link to the javadoc
instead of to svn.

Since you're using firefox, I think it's the same issue as noted on the
downloads page for the testing readme:

http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html#How+to+test+Derby

Displaying through svn doesn't work for all browsers and I haven't
chased down the specific problem.

That much said, it used to work for Internet Explorer -- and it doesn't
now, which is odd.

It works if you do a "File Open" to the file in your working copy.

that's an excellent fix -- thanks for mentioning it!
