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.

I currently do not edit/use my bot because it is so unstable due to it. I had bots executing code that had been removed (from all versions) over a week before. I even made a new bot with the new code and the bot still performed functions that were NEVER in that bots code. </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>
