Does at least you can change the label Passord to AccessKey

Hi, why should that be changed - I dont understand?!

Because the login for accessing XML files use the access key instead of the password. Of course for security reasons.
My application Basket Organizer already uses this mechanism of authentication from the previous month. Thus each user need not show your password.
Sometimes users reported difficulties in login because they write a password and not the access key

Ahh , I understand... sometime I must look at your application!

Greetings OJAY

For I can not write so many in mail, I'd like to write the things here.
According to current XML files, the new version of BBAmor will be released before May 21. I ask more than 10 Chinese users test the application now and here are some information ahout your XMLs.

1. As I metioned before. You use both teamid and teamID in xmlgames. Now I replace the teamid to teamID after I download the xml files.
2. The "rating" in xmlboxscore is wrong.
3. The meaning of "forfeit" in xmlboxscore.
4. The number of "practice" (game shape) in xmlroster is 1 level lower than the level shown in page.
5. I can not find the "position" of the roster. Now I calculate it and users of BBA can change it if they want.
6. IMPORTANT. Some team name contains the character "&" and XML file standards do not allow putting "&" directly into the contents. All xml parsers can not deal with this unless you parse the file by Bytes. You can check the file xmlgames.aspx?teamid=25268 to see the result. Now I'm going to change the "&" into "and" after I download the xml files. And I do not know if some one put "[" or "<" into their names what will happened in your xml files.

For the further requirements:
I'd like to analyse the arena information but I'll follow your schedule if you have.

Last:
Will you send notice here if your are going to change the XML structure and leave some period for us to adapt it?

Hey childhorn, you should post this into the suggestion forum:

here youre in the forum of Application Development...

Hi, you wrote that Buzzerbeater Amor is an open-source project and I saw the source files at (http://sourceforge.net/projects/bba/) but now they are gone, where I can find them now?

Thanks and Greetings OJAY

They are still there the source files:
http://bba.cvs.sourceforge.net/bba/BuzzerBeaterAmor/src/
What I dont understand is why you make it in Java and then makes it dependent to windows with some bat script.
Isnt it hsql or derby you are using as DB, you can use that in embedded mode.

Hi jantzen,

thanks I found it at (http://bba.cvs.sourceforge.net/bba/BuzzerBeaterAmor/src/)...

You are asked the wrong, I am not the developer of this tool, you should ask LA-kds_gen_poc (25432)!

Yes, its mine. The source are controlled by SourceForge's CVS service.

Current source code on the CVS are the 0.1 version of BBA. In such version, the BBA retrieves the page info from BB. After that I change the html into plan text and use a open source ETL (kettle v3) tool to load the info into a database.
The bat file is used to call the ETL process.

But now BB provide the data access key and data xml file. I'll use the xml and will not use the database for the new version.

I'll release the new version in this week and put the source onto it.
