Trying to get a feel for the minimum amount of update work required before we can switch to Tomcat. Notes so far are below.

In other news, tested and tagged the latest jar release (moorgate) which brings the athens update - we're on 3.6.4 now and they brought out 3.6.5 yesterday. Bah. Matt's running the cluster update this afternoon to roll out the new jar.

Spent yesterday morning tracking down "missing" stats for a client from 6/03-9/03. Turned out that they just hadn't used the site in that period.


Tomcat Pages

The plan:

1. Establish which pages require modification
2. Decide approach
3. Implement
4. Test
5. Deploy


The progress:

Will set up local copy of site and test under TC on orac.

Good candidates for broken pages are those which call response.sendRedirect - if this occurs after content has gone to the browser then TC throws an exception.

Other problems caused by pages including too much code; this can creep in with excessive use of jsp include directives.

Remove casts to gjt package from cache.inc, client_cache.inc, setup_allmember.inc.

u/p login now works, as do search, retrieve, view xrefs.

search by vol fails - add jakarta commons-codec lib and that's fixed it.
