Prob with new weblog on own machine
I am experimenting bringing up antville under Helma ./ Apache on my own machine. Everything seems to be fine until I try to
Create a new weblog' which results in Error in application `antville': Runtime error FIeld or property 'action' does not exist in object helma.framework.RequestTrans...

you must update helma.jar (in the subdirectory "lib" of your helma-installation) to the latest snapshot-version. you can find it here: helma.org (take the file helma-20011213.jar). save it in the lib-directory, rename it to helma.jar and everything should work fine.

Thanks very much. I did as you suggested and everything worked just fine.
In case it is of any use to others, here are the steps I took:
[anyone knowledgable is welcome to edit/move/remove this anywhere it might be useful.
1: Unzip Helma to \ of desired disk rename directory to \HOP
2: Unzip Antville to \HOP\APPS
3. MYSQL run ANTVILLE.SQL (do only once to initially set things up)
4. In MySQL: GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON antville.* TO antville@192.168.0.5 IDENTIFIED BY 'antville'; [I want to run it on my LAN, not just one machine]
5. modify antville\db.properties to IP# 192.168.0.5
6. ChgPaths to HOP\\static\\antville\\ in app.properties
7. Create HOP\STATIC\antville
8. Unzip Images from antville\images.zip there
9. Add antville to apps.properties in HOP
10. Create description.txt in apps\antville
The antville.org icon seems to be missing along with the
XML button icon, but that just may be something I haven't
figured out yet.
My thanks to all who helped.

i am happy that it works. and thanks, too, for the testing. concerning the xmlbutton and icon i was not able to reproduce your observation by following the steps as described. just after pointing my browser to the local antville url, the xml button and antville icon appeared. same after creating a new weblog, the button was on its place immediately. however, let me know if you still can't find a solution to fix this yourself.

that the helma.jar of your Helma installation is not the same as the one the Apache servlet engine is using. Just make sure both helma.jar files have the same size/timestamp.
BTW, great that you're checking it out. The more people try it out the better. Let us know how it works out...

Glad I found this post so I new to get the updated helma.jar
There really needs to be better install docs guys :)
i.e. take the post above and put it in the dist!
I was kinda dissapointed I couldn't just run helma in (for eg) JBoss/Catalina or another J2EE server.
