After uploading my code, everything worked beautifully except the profile. I checked my extended Profile servlet, and everything looked fine. I also made sure I could hit the web page I had referenced and the image, no permissions problem there. It wasn't until I was away from the computer and thinking about the Profile servlet I had written when I realized the problem. Nowhere in there was the Profile servlet wired up to anything other than just extending the ProfileServlet class. </p> <p>You have to map the servlet in the war/WEB-INF/web.xml file much like you did for the app itself. If you don't do this, your bot will remain a faceless, web-pageless, nameless bot. </p> <p>Add the following to wire up your servlet changing PACKAGE_NAME to your package (like a namespace) that your class is in and CLASS_NAME to the name of the class that extended<br /> <code><br /> &lt;servlet&gt;<br /> &lt;servlet-name&gt;Profile&lt;/servlet-name&gt;<br /> &lt;servlet-class&gt;PACKAGE_NAME.CLASS_NAME&lt;/servlet-class&gt;<br /> &lt;/servlet&gt;<br /> &lt;servlet-mapping&gt;<br /> &lt;servlet-name&gt;Profile&lt;/servlet-name&gt;<br /> &lt;url-pattern&gt;/_wave/robot/profile&lt;/url-pattern&gt;<br /> &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt;<br /> </code></p> <p>When you fix your bot, don't forget to change the version number, and PUBLISH your changes. You may also want to check out my Version Management post if you're still having problems.</p> <p>- Eck </p> http://googlewavebots.info/forum/topic/version-management-for-your-bots-and-gadgets#post-25 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:55:31 +0000 Eck 25@http://googlewavebots.info/forum/ <p>When I made some changes to my bot and republished them (specifically its profile), I made sure to change the version number. But, when I went to revisit the bot, it still had the faceless icon as its image and had none of the changes I had made. After checking and rechecking that everything I knew about was correct, I stumbled across the version management tab on my bot's dashboard and saw there were 2 versions. Version 1 (default) and version 2. I set version 2 as the default (and deleted version 1) and everything worked just fine. I probably didn't have to delete version 1, but I wanted to be sure. All the documentation that I read lead me to believe that changing the version number was all I needed to do. </p> <p>I hope this saves some time for someone,<br /> - Eck </p> http://googlewavebots.info/forum/topic/rssy#post-11 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:45:36 +0000 dranorter 11@http://googlewavebots.info/forum/ <p>OK, RSSy has not been updated since September 25 and has been broken since at least October 30th. I would really like to use it, in particular because it would actually allow just about all the functionality I would want out of a delicious bot- posting new links into the wave.</p> <p>So I got the idea Wave is a really open platform and I should in principle be able to fix anything wrong with a bot. Anyone know how I might try and fix rssy?? </p> http://googlewavebots.info/forum/topic/alerty#post-21 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:48:49 +0000 JohnLBevan 21@http://googlewavebots.info/forum/ <p>After a wave has been inactive for a few minutes, users are liable to leave that browser window/tab in the background &amp; go off to do their own thing. As a result, if their friend replies, they won't be aware until they manually check the wave tab.<br /> Having a bot which detects when a browser window/tab is not active and a new wave event occurs (e.g. the other user replying) after there has been a delay of a few minutes since the last wave activity would be useful. Once an alarm has sounded, it should remain silent until the user next activates that tab window (so that the user doesn't get annoyed if they're deliberately ignoring the wave whilst working on something else). </p> http://googlewavebots.info/forum/topic/why-you-deserve-a-wave-invite-more-than-anyone-else#post-18 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 06:57:57 +0000 Admin 18@http://googlewavebots.info/forum/ <p>Please post your reason below.

I have written a script that will crawl pages and pull out bot names from the text so that I can add them to the wiki. It will not pull descriptions because I do not wish to be copying the sites, just pulling new names out. </p> <p>Another user had submitted this list and then deleted the post. I do not know why so I will leave their name out for now but I have crawled all of these pages so far.</p> <p><a href="http://wave-samples-gallery.appspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://wave-samples-gallery.appspot.com/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.variousways.com/blog/?tag=google-wave" rel="nofollow">http://www.variousways.com/blog/?tag=google-wave</a><br /> <a href="http://www.carrito.net/board/showthread.php?p=2014881" rel="nofollow">http://www.carrito.net/board/showthread.php?p=2014881</a><br /> <a href="http://smarterware.org/my-favorite-google-wave-bots" rel="nofollow">http://smarterware.org/my-favorite-google-wave-bots</a><br /> <a href="http://www.docstoc.com/docs/13086406/Google-Wave-Extension-List" rel="nofollow">http://www.docstoc.com/docs/13086406/Google-Wave-Extension-List</a><br /> <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/20979885/Wave" rel="nofollow">http://www.scribd.com/doc/20979885/Wave</a><br /> <a href="http://www.vinodlive.com/2009/10/07/google-wave-extensions-list/" rel="nofollow">http://www.vinodlive.com/2009/10/07/google-wave-extensions-list/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.johnroa.net/2009/10/12/list-of-google-wave-gadgets-bots-extensions-games-and-more/" rel="nofollow">http://www.johnroa.net/2009/10/12/list-of-google-wave-gadgets-bots-extensions-games-and-more/</a><br /> <a href="http://tech-n-games.blogspot.com/2009/10/must-have-google-wave-robots-full-list.html" rel="nofollow">http://tech-n-games.blogspot.com/2009/10/must-have-google-wave-robots-full-list.html</a><br /> <a href="http://daroom.info/wordpress/google-wave-bots-list" rel="nofollow">http://daroom.info/wordpress/google-wave-bots-list</a><br /> <a href="http://lor3nzo.com/featured/short-guide-to-google-wave.html" rel="nofollow">http://lor3nzo.com/featured/short-guide-to-google-wave.html</a><br /> <a href="http://completewaveguide.com/guide/Wave_Bots" rel="nofollow">http://completewaveguide.com/guide/Wave_Bots</a></p> <p>Thanks for the help and keep em coming! </p> http://googlewavebots.info/forum/topic/findme#post-9 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:39:50 +0000 JohnLBevan 9@http://googlewavebots.info/forum/ <p>Uses the GEO features of HTML 5 to locate where each wave user is and lets wavers know where their nearest wavers are.

It could be added to a public wave and then maybe ping the person who added it with a list of all of the bots in that wave. That would keep it from annoying the rest of the wave and then it could be removed from the wave without causing any harm. Would be great for harvesting a list. </p> http://googlewavebots.info/forum/topic/contact-add-url-bot#post-3 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 07:50:33 +0000 Admin 3@http://googlewavebots.info/forum/ <p>I would like to see a bot that turns a wave address into an "add to contacts" url. I would be surprised if there was not a way to implement this in a url. Understandably it wouldnt just automatically add the address to a contact but at least take you to wave with the add to contacts dialog open (get rid of the copy/paste part at least). </p> http://googlewavebots.info/forum/topic/before-you-submit#post-2 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:40:10 +0000 Admin 2@http://googlewavebots.info/forum/ <p>Please check the following page to make sure it does not exist (I would search for the bots address &lt;botname@appspot.com&gt; to see if its is on that page) before adding it here. This will save me a lot of time keeping out duplicates.</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
