NIE Original XPump and SearchTrack code Written for Java 1.2, circa 2001
Of note:
- SearchTrack gave you info about your top query terms, and let you FIX IT on the spot.
- XPump was a spidering toolkit that could keep deep state, even across multiple pages.
- Hand-coded web server.
- Lots of XML utilities, featuring "include statements", AND the ability to change in memory but properly write back out to the separate files.
We've talked about doing this for years, but just never got around to it... so now the code is even older ;-)
Since we are no longer selling this code, and it had some cool capabilities, we're open sourcing it!, under Apache ASL2 https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
TODO: Needs TONS of conversion to turn into a modern Java app with a modern project structure. Be kind when reading... some things weren't as obvious back then! This would be a great project for showing how to convern from a pre-Generics world. The idea here is to allow folks to learn from our early; this would also be a great "repackaging" project on many levels.
Although I wrote most of the code (Mark Bennett) I'd like to thank Kevin Klop, Miles Kehoe, Evan Sayer, Sean M. and Daya for their various contributions.
