Well, it's been a long week. After our meeting a week ago with Professor Pollice we continued on with our plan of creating a test Tic-Tac-Toe wall panel game for the Wonderland environment.
After following the tutorials on the Wonderland Project homepage for creating and extending a cell we made our modifications to get a rough base of what our game would be. The files seemed right and all the code was in place, it was time to test.
Now comes the part where we run into trouble. The Wonderland Project sets up our test server no problem with the test WFS loaded with our Tic-Tac-Toe cell being found. The problem arises when the client is run and Wonderland tries to loads the code for the cell. Thats when we get this error:
...
WARNING: Error loading config file C:\Documents and Settings\Belgarion\.wonderland\config\PlacemarkConfig-127.0.0.1-1139.xml : C:\Documents and Settings\Belgarion\.wonderland\config\PlacemarkConfig-127.0.0.1-1139.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jdesktop.lg3d.wonderland.tictactoe.server.TicTacToeCellGLO
...
The exception is being thrown by the URLClassLoader thread when it is run.
We have spent several nights now this week going over our build files, filesystems, dependencies, projects, project files, ant files, and so on to make sure we haven't missed any steps and really I don't see any steps in any of that that we are missing. My guess is that their is some certain action somewhere along the way that was not done properly.
The plan is to start getting active in the Wonderland Community and see if anyone has a solution to our problem. The hope is to have Tic-Tac-Toe by the end of next week!
