This will work without a database connection - will show the basic information.

------------------------
If you want to view some data from a test database (currently only works with PostgreSQL):

Download PostgreSQL from http://www.postgresql.org
Download jdbc, there are several places, one is: http://www.retep.org.uk/postgres/
      (make sure to include jdbc6.5-1.x.jar in your servlet server configuration)

------------------------
Simple method to start PostgreSQL:

# as some user other than root, this creates the database but does not
#        set a password, so username=login of user, password=""
export PGDATA=/usr/local/pg_data
/usr/bin/initdb --pglib=/usr/lib/pgsql --pgdata=/usr/local/pg_data
rm /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432
/usr/bin/postmaster -i -D /usr/local/pg_data &
createdb JetspeedProject

------------------------
Now generate the database:  java org.apache.jetspeed.project.CreateDatabase
Test generation of database:  java org.apache.jetspeed.project.RunTest

------------------------
Place the following alias and init params in the servlet properties file:

servlet.project.code=org.apache.jetspeed.project.Project
servlet.project.initArgs=\
        org.apache.jetspeed.project.content_directory=<xhtml content directory>,\
        org.apache.jetspeed.project.jdbc_driver=postgresql.Driver,\
        org.apache.jetspeed.project.jdbc_host=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/jetspeedproject,\
        org.apache.jetspeed.project.jdbc_username=<username>,\
        org.apache.jetspeed.project.jdbc_password=<password>,\
        org.apache.jetspeed.project.jdbc_max_connections=10


------------------------
The xhtml files live in the src/content area, so make sure they exist in the 
abovementioned content_directory initArgs.

------------------------
now access servlets/project


---------------------------
---------------------------
to do:
   - use Cocoon or other xhtml parser
   - use turbine utilities for jdbc connection pooling, authentication
          Currently only makes one database connection
   - create item pages to view individual projects, etc.
   - create proper forms & handle results, modify/delete
