| What kind of WAP devices are supported by Jetspeed 1.3a1?
|
Jetspeed delivers valid WML 1.1 and 1.2. It has been tested with:
- Nokia WAP Toolkit 2.0 (WAP 1.1 and WAP 1.2)
- Phone.com UP Browser
Whether a specific device is supported depends mainly on the
WAP gateway that's being used. So all that can be said about Jetspeed, is
that it produces valid WML 1.1 and 1.2.

| What databases does Jetspeed support?
|
Jetspeed should work with any JDBC 2.0 complaint driver. The following databases have been tested:
- DB2
- Hypersonic SQL
- MySQL
- Oracle
- Postgres
- Sybase
Scripts for setting up the database are included with the source code distribution, under the src/sql/external folder.
To change the database connection, you will also need to update the database connection settings in TurbineResources.properties. The war file installation automatically configures Hypersonic SQL is the default database.

| How do you configure Jetspeed to run behind a firewall/proxy?
-or-
What can cause the "java.net.UknownHostException" for www.mozilla.org,
www.apacheweek.com or other external web sites?
|
If you have a proxy, set the servlet engine JVM system properties for
using a proxy to:
java -DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=<proxyHost> -DproxyPort=<proxyPort>
<servlet engine>
For Tomcat you can set TOMCAT_OPTS:
-
Windows:
set TOMCAT_OPTS=-DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=<proxyHost>
-DproxyPort=<proxyPort>
-
Unix:
export TOMCAT_OPTS="-DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=<proxyHost>
-DproxyPort=<proxyPort>"
|
| OK, I think I configured Jetspeed to run behind a firewall/proxy but the
URLs still are not being loaded.
|
Look in the file WEB-INF\conf\datasource.properties. If there is an
entry for the URL in this file, remove it and try again.

Answer
|
| Which version of Jetspeed should I use ?
|
We do not recommend that you use the 1.1 or 1.2b1 releases as these
are not supported anymore. You should use the latest 1.3 alpha release available which provides many improvements over the previous 1.2 or 1.1 releases.
|
| I don't understand the release system, why is there no 1.2 release?
|
The Jetspeed development team has decided to skip the 1.2 release
and start a new 1.3 'alpha' release branch for several reasons:
- the Jetspeed project is still very young and the API is very likely
to change
- the stability of the code is not yet sufficient for production
systems
- most of the Jetspeed code has been or is being reimplemented between
1.2b1 and the new 1.3 branch
The current development team judges the 1.1 and 1.2 beta numbers used
for the previous releases misleading about the overall stability of
the code and has reverted to an alpha status.

After adding a new user, I come to a screen asking me to enter a secret key.
But I never receive an email with the confirmation key, and I entered a valid email address. What can I do next?
|
When signing up a new user in Jetspeed, the registration process includes
a step where an email is sent to the new user. In order for this process
to work on Windows NT or 2000, you will need to have a local SMTP server running.
The Apaches James Mail Enterprise Server is available from:
http://java.apache.org/james/
The mail host settings will need to be modified:
<tomcat_home>/webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/conf/TurbineResources.properties
