Cgate Web Front-End

... i've built a little web applet to interface with Cgate if anyone is interested (feedback welcome)... I'm running Cgate 2.6.0 on Linux which is the only thing i've tested on (with IE7), hence don't be too harsh...



... to configure, you need to edit your ‘java.policy’ file on your PC; it will be in a version dependent directory eg. C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09\lib\security …. add the following line within the ‘grant’ section and save -

permission java.security.AllPermission;

... what this does is allow the applet to write config information into the c:\data.xml file being used to store Cbus object data.

... next you need to create a c:\data.xml file - easiest way to do that is to download the default one i'm using from - http://www.lbot.com.au/cbus/data.xml and save to c:\ (i've fixed this path for simplicity).

... Finally, run http://www.lbot.com.au/cbus to launch the applet, and configure accordingly to your Cgate server, and see how it goes.

Note: if you open the Sun Java Console in your browser you can see the commands being sent.
