-i-scream Server Startup
-=======================
+i-scream Server README
+======================
 
-Recommended startup sequence of components:
+Compiling
+---------
 
+The server can now easily be compiled without worrying about setting up any
+of the CLASSPATH's, or setting the path to JacORB. It's all self contained.
+
+Typical sequence to compile;
+
+./configure
+make build
+make install prefix=/some/path
+make clean
+
+In more detail, the first line ensures that the required libraries are
+available, and sets the Makefiles up so they know where everything is.
+The second line compiles all of the code and creates a JAR file in the
+build directory.
+The install line installs the server and libraries to a given location,
+along with the configuration files.
+Finally, the last line cleans up.
+
+Running
+-------
+
+It is recommended that the components are started up in the following order.
+
+(This can be on multiple hosts if required, as long as the order is correct).
+
 Core
 ClientInterfaceMain
-DBInterfaceMain
+DBInterface
 FilterManager
-RootFilterMain
+RootFilter
 FilterMain
 
-It is not necessary to start both the ClientInterfaceMain and DBInterfaceMain,
-the server will handle only one. Multiple Filter's can be started as required.
+It is not necessary to start both the ClientInterfaceMain and DBInterface,
+the server will handle only one or both. Multiple Filter's can be started
+as required.
 
 These are all loaded through the ComponentManager. More details on how to
 operate this will be provided later on. Typing "make run" will make an
 attempt to load it up.
 
+Check build/etc/default.properties to set the startup list and order.
+
 nb. You will need to ensure that the relevant libraries are in the
     build/lib directory. See the README in there for details.
+
+Makefile
+========
+The following targets are available;
+
+build
+
+  Compile the entire server package, include the IDL file. Generates the
+  JAR file for the final package.
+
+run
+
+  Run's the server from the JAR file in /build.
+
+clean
+
+  Cleans all compiled code, and javadoc pages.
+
+distclean
+
+  Also cleans files left by configure, including the libraries.
+
+install
+
+  Installs the server to a given directory. Also takes a prefix;
+    make install prefix = /usr/i-scream
+
+cvsbuild
+
+  Builds any tagged version of the server from CVS. This saves the need to
+  checkout a version to build it, as it's all done automatically;
+    make install rev = RELEASE_1
+  Default tag is HEAD.
+
+javadoc
+
+  Builds all the javadoc pages in the `doc' directory.
+
+buildutil
+
+    (it is recommended you run a "make clean" first)
+  Builds a seperate JAR file, in `build' called `iscream-util.jar'.
+  This file contains just the uk.ac.ukc.iscream.util package for
+  use in other parts of the system, such as the clients.
