freehost3270

Freehost3270 is a project mainly written in JAVA and SHELL, based on the LGPL-2.1 license.

Fork of the SourceForge freehost3270 project

Free Host 3270 version 0.2-CURRENT README.

What works:

The TN3270 Emulator applet, the SessionServer servlet, and the Free Host 3270 servlet (the one that delivers the emulator applet), all seem to work ok.

What doesn't work: (Developers, please feel free to jump in...)

  • Print -The screen may get clipped at the edges because the margin settings are difficult to work with. Look for a fix soon!

  • HTML 'Screen Scrape' - The source is in the tree, but the distribution doesn't have it enabled. STATUS: Tested and enabled in next release.

REALLY QUICK START

Assuming you already have Java Servlet 2.2 compliant container, copy the freehost3270.war file to the container's ./webapps directory. Most containers will auto-deploy your war... if yours doesn't, you'll need to restart it.

goto http:///freehost3270/freehost

You should see the FreeHost3270 Java Emulator pop up and connect to Harvard's HOLLIS server.

Did it work? Great. No? Sorry. Either way, you should probably have a gander at the documentation in ./docs/freehost.html
