src.springframework.org/svn connection refused

[sdanzig]

In the tutorial going over the petclinic webapp, I run this line:

svn co https://src.springframework.org/svn/...etclinic/trunk spring-petclinic

I get:

svn: OPTIONS of 'https://src.springframework.org/svn/spring-samples/petclinic/trunk': could not connect to server (https://src.springframework.org)

I telnet to src.springframework.org 443 and get a "Connection refused" as well, but src.springframework.org does respond to ping. I'm guessing the svn server is down? I could've sworn this checkout worked earlier on Saturday.

Thanks.

+1 to this. I've been hitting the https://src.springframework.org/svn
in vain for the last 10 hours now.

I don't know whether this is true of the older Spr Sec code, but I think that Spr Sec trunk has been on git for a while now, ref: Getting the Source on the Spr Sec site.

Thanks. It works of course.. if only what's in git is supported, then this "Getting Started" URL definitely needs to be updated:

http://static.springsource.org/sprin...tart-here.html

I see there's a "big bank" example instead of the PetClinic example there. Plus the PetClinic example doesn't even seem to be organized right.. I had to move the static content into a "static" directory, plus I believe there was Eclipse project info included, set with maven enabled but not deploying maven dependencies.

The documentation hasn't been updated since the Spring Samples repository moved. You can find the samples at http://src.springframework.org/svn/spring-samples As an FYI for the future, if you ever have trouble finding the current location you can refer to the Spring Documentation. SEC-1650 should ensure the documentation is updated.

Thanks for the heads up, but Petclinic isn't only deprecated. It also has bugs. For something pointed to by the "Getting Started" page of Spring Security, the good folks at SpringSource really are making it hard for people to "get started". I suggest at least a bold warning at the top of the Getting Started page directing new users elsewhere, so they don't waste the time they're hoping to save by using Spring components.

I'm sorry for all the problems you are having. If the petclinic has bugs, I would encourage you to give back to the community by submitting a bug (or better a patch). I am guessing that updating the Spring Security documentation to have the warning will not be able to be done any faster than fixing the JIRA I referenced earlier. If you are having any specific problems with the tutorial please feel free to post them and I (or someone else) will do our best to assist you.

Cheers,

Thanks for the two replies. I'd like to help, but I admittedly haven't submitted a patch to any open source project before. I've managed to create a patch using svn.. any page explaining how to submit it? Do I need to join as a Spring developer?

[sdanzig]

Nevermind.. I think I figured out how to submit the patch. Hopefully I did it right.
