Yesterday I was looking at switching the database that was used for CopperCore so that instead of using the default Hypersonic database it used an MSSQL database instead, I got most of the way in doing this, but then got a bit stuck when needing to add the JDBC jar path to the classpath for coppercore startup file, I tried a few different ways of doing this but didn’t actually get it working- will try again later.
I’ve also updated some of the CCSI adapters, as the ones that I originally created (to get it working to start with), had URLs and the Google search API key coded into the java code -which is obviously not the best thing to do. What I’ve done instead is move these parameters out to a properties file. I’ve put these changes back into Souceforge CVS and when I put out the next version of the Sled player, this will include these changes too.
The other thing I’m going to work on is creating a page or two on the Sled website to explain what the CCSI stuff is all about and how people could add new services or switch service provider.
