| I have an older modified copy of the java servelet based version of acheck. Unfortunately the original source of the package was lost and now all I have are the slightly modified build artifacts I have running in my environment. I would very much like to get a fresh copy of the older java-based system. If you don't mind. Can you explain the differences between the older version of the tool and the newer PHP-based version, I would very much like to understand the differences. ( Why did you decide to go with PHP instead of Java ? ). ... Anyways ... thank you for your time. j. Posted: 2010-01-26 19:39:50 | ||

| I'd suggest using the PHP version instead. We are no longer supporting the Java version. Posted: 2010-01-27 08:57:40 | ||

| I completely understand that you no longer support the java version. Unfortunately I have a running system based on the java version and I am trying to mitigate the risk I currently run of not having the source in the event I need to update the software. ( As I said, I have the build artifacts but not the source ). As to your final comment ... other than lack of support what is the feature-set differential between the versions ? Thank you again for your time. I look forward to your response. j. Posted: 2010-01-27 12:58:08 | ||

| Reason I say its not supported, is because we'd have to go digging back through our old archives to find it, which will take some effort. We are trying to discourage its use in favor of the new PHP version. The PHP version has all the features of the older Java version, and more.

| So, I am working on updating my systems to use the PHP version of the software. I have a couple of custom Accessibility guidelines that were built for use with the older version of the software ... Is the storage format for the Guidelines for the PHP version the same as they were for the Java based version? j. Posted: 2010-03-04 15:21:34 | ||

| The data from the Java version provides the base for the php version. The text for your custom checks should match the current info structure, but you'll need to recreate the actual check functions, which are quite different from the Java version. Everything was hard coded in it, while now you can use the check editor to create new checks. When you have the check editor open, click on the handbook link, top right, for details on authoring checks. Posted: 2010-03-04 16:36:50 | ||
