The first version 1.0 was written in 100% pure java before 2000 with dynamic html, java applet as front end and servlets with jdbc connection to any* DB. The version 1.1 was modified to use Java open source projects and refined look n feel.
Current version 2.0 is based on dynamic html, Flash on the front end and Windows .Net 2.0, IIS/Asp.Net, SQL Server 2000+ on the back end.
The change was made due to the facts that java open source is becoming more and more interdependent and more difficult to track all correct versions. It also requires more downloadable components to be installed in addition to Java, which Microsoft dropped support awhile ago. Windows version provides quick easy installation and tighter system integrations (happens when one vendor controls all)
Required components for Ticketmap:1. Windows Server 2003 (2000 will do). Install/enable MSMQ.
2. IIS with Asp.Net 2.0 enabled. Optional(HIGHLY recommended), install web server certificate so we can use 'https' for cc /login.
3. SQL Server 2005 (2000 will work). Need SQL Server login enabled. We will use generated SQL user/password for DB connection. MAKE SURE to enable SQL Server Agent service with startup type 'Automatic', which is used for house keeping tasks.
Install process:1. Click MSI file and follow steps
2. Start Administration page (started at end of the install process automatically by default)
3. Modify/create your venue entries and seating sections
4. Create events for each venue
You can see changes immediately on your generated ticketmap web page.
