I'd be willing to help test it.

Looks nice! I'm still working on getting a web client together. I've found a couple of likely programmers, except that neither will get into contact with me.

Edit: I made it close when the window is closed, and pushed to GIT. also, your debug messages look eerily similar to mine.

Hahahaha, awesome Are these programmers who'd contribute to this as an open-source project, or as a paid position? I forget what you ended up deciding on that account.

[Angle]

I'm going to pay them.

+1 for using Artemis.

However, the project has been inactive for 2+ years. It _is_ complete, but it does have smaller bugs and limitations.
If you'll ever hit the limitations, I recommend switching to artemis-odb, a forked version (and still active) of the original Artemis.

The intention of this post is purely informational. I'm not affiliated with either of them, nor do I think you should immediately switch to the forked version.

Whoa, nice, that does look pretty cool. Their Github wiki looks real nice too. Assuming their API hasn't changed much, I might refrain from going through the trouble of switching libraries yet again just now and try to get some progress done! Thanks for he heads-up!

We might want to see about slapping a license on what we've got now. The MIT License Looks pretty good.

I found some code that looks pretty interesting. I'm going through to see if I can adapt it to work with our server. I need to wrap my head around java's networking first, though.

[Anvilfolk]

Cool There should already be some examples in JAgoraServer. We're using TCP connections already. All you'd need to do is open up a TCP connection and write a BSON object to it, then get a BSON object in response.

[Angle]

Yup. Right now I'm figuring out how xamp works, so I can test the thing.

Ad now I've tested the thing, and yup, it works. That was laughably easy. Now I just need to make them understand each other.

[Angle]

Also - Should we go back and edit the server to not require people to be logged in to view the forums?

[Anvilfolk]

Hmmmmmmmm, that's a good point. That should depend on admin options though. I'm sure there's got to be a way to nicely incorporate that. There's two types of communication already, one which requires authentication and one that doesn't (the one that doesn't is used only for the login, I believe). We could just copy over code without requiring it to check for authentication but there's gotta be a better way...

My life has been a total mess recently, so there's little chance for me to work significantly on this for this semester, I think.

[Angle]

Yeah, I can probably figure it out. Perhaps add code for some kind of "Default User" and just manage it's permissions?

[Anvilfolk]

Hmmmm, the problem is that we are using tokens - i.e. when you login, you get a token that you reuse, and that's how the server knows who you are. If you had a single user that everyone is reusing, sessions would get mixed up. We can always check for whether it's the default user though.

Or we can just check whether a message comes with authentication. If it does, we check it. If it doesn't we check whether server allows for this query to be "publicly available"?

[Angle]

yeah, that'd probably be a better solution.

Alright, so right now I'm trying to get the java code to work with the javascript. The trouble is that I need to sign the java jars, and they won't work with unsigned jars, which includes the mongo db library. Any suggestions?

Edit- wait, that's not it. I unsigned the jars, and they'll still run but they still won't find the BSON library, despite it being in the lib folder with JAgoraLib, which I could swear was finding it earlier.
