No,
You are correct. It was very easy. I made a few mistakes I
believe. The only
thing I could suggest was the link text is
"blojsom.war" and one time I
right-clicked on it and chose download because I thought it
linked to the file.
Maybe it could be named "Blojsom WAR" or
"Blojsom Download". (on
http://wiki.blojsom.com/wiki/display/blojsom/bloj
som+Quickstart). But I had
another problem before which was probably because I foudn
blojsom through
Sourceforge and downloaded it there without ever seeing the
Quickstart. When I
tried your instructions yesterday it works like an ace. And
Blojsom is
impressive.
Thanks for your help,
Tim
