Borklog: One entry

19 August 2001

Woo freaking hoo! I finally got ACS/Java working on my home machine. It's a pain going from two cranky, yet familiar technologies (Oracle and aolserver on Linux) to many cranky, unfamiliar technologies that don't seem to play nice with each other (Oracle, tomcat, xerces, java). Once I got a working acs4.6.1 tarball (the first one came down corrupted, I stupidly deleted a second download, and finally got a working one on the third. this makes 24 megs through a 56k isdn pipe). Plus it turns out that tomcat + jdk 1.3.1 + Suse Linux 7.1 == random coredumps. I had to downgrade to jdk 1.3.0_03 (after I burned a number of hours fixing a tomcat / JVM crash. a 27 meg download), plus add two missing JDBC oracle driver files (about 3 megs). I hope I don't have to go through that pain again any time soon.
