The new release V4.0 of oops-easytrack for web-, wlan- and rmi-based versions was releaed-
Note:
Since Java 1.7.4 unsigned or self-signed applcations are blocked by Java Security. Oops-easytrack is a self-signed application. It will be blocked, if it is launched in a browser by Java Web Start, even if it's web address is added to the exception site list of Java.
Users can start oops-easytrack-web only by a heavy weight appclient script in the Application Client Container of size 50 MB.
Therefore the leight weight RMI-based client server solution of Oops-easytrack was developed, which has its own server without an Application Server. The solution is based on Remote Method Invocation Api using TCP/IP connections.... read more

This is a reply to the review criticizing missing russian coding in oops-easytrack.
Actually text in the MySql database is coded in west european latin1.
To use russian characters the coding of all text columns in the database must be changed to utf8 or koir. This can be done by the tool Msql-Administrator. (download site s. help).
The next version possibly will contain utf8 coding.

Since Java SE 6 update 7 support of Java web start in Sun's application server glassfish was broken. Starting the web based version of oops-easytrack by
http://localhost:8080/OopsWeb/OopsWeb-app-client
did no longer work. A temporary workaround was to disable "Keep temporary internet files" in the Java control panel.

Changes in Java Web Start in Java SE 1.6 update 7 have broken Java Web Start
support in GlassFish=Sun Application Server 9.1.

This problem affects the web based version of oops-easytrack.
After upgrading to Java SE1.6 update 7 oops-easytrack can not be started in the browser by
http://localhost:8080/OopsWeb/OopsWeb-app-client

A workaround that works is to disable "Keep temporary internet files" in the Java control panel. This leads to longer start up time, but at least it works. (Tested on Windows XP java 1.6.0_07)
Inform all your users to do so.
It is recommended not to downgrade to an former version of SE 1.6.0.... read more
