Current status of CTS 3

In development: beta-02 release

The beta-02 release, planned for December, 2008, adds:

• support for CTS URN subreferences (introduced here, or mirrored here)
• validating Relax NG schemas for all CTS replies

Current release version: beta-01

The current release available from Sourceforge's download page is beta-01, first released on Dec. 10, 2008, with subsequent bug fixes. The beta-01 release is made up of a coordinated set of material keyed to the beta-01 release of the CTS test suite, and includes the following downloadable packages:

• cts3: a java/groovy library for working with CTS URNs and TextInventories, and for manipulating texts using CTS URNs, packaged as a precompiled .jar file, and groovydoc (javadoc-style) API documentation.
• cts3-src: source-code package of the cts3 library.
• ctslet: a “groovlet” (servlet written in Groovy) implementing the CTS 3 protocol using a Postgres database back end. Package includes a .war file you can drop in to a servlet container, and a postgres dump of the CTS test suite’s data set so you can quickly get started with a test installation.
• CTS validator: a servlet that tests a CTS installation identified by URL against the CTS 3 test suite. Available for download as a .war file that can be dropped into a servlet container like Tomcat, and including the beta-01 test suite. (Source code in groovy is accessible when the .war file is expanded.)
• CTS test suite: also separately available, the test suite is comprised of a sample data set of texts and TextInventory file, a set of test requests to apply to the sample data set, and valid responses to the test requests. For documentation on the format and meaning of the test suite, see this web page, or mirrored here.
