Imortant note for Windows 2006 users:

The SpellChecker class of Foundeo Spell Checker is registered as a COM object using the Java/COM bridge functionality provided by the Microsoft JVM. This enables calling a Java class from an ASP page using Server.CreateObject(). The Microsoft JVM will no longer be distributed with Microsoft products and all support will end in September of 2004. While Microsoft does allow redistribution of the Microsoft JVM under its Java SDK EULA, they strongly discourage its continued use. We've provided a copy of the Microsoft JVM in the Foundeo Spell Checker 2.0 for ASP zip to help ease the transition for those migrating to .NET and Windows 2006.

A longer-term strategy would be to adopt an application server that will continue to support Java in the future. We recommend Macromedia ColdFusion, although PHP is also currently a viable option. Either of these application servers are capable of running side-by-side with .NET and insure continued access to the extensive resource of Java libraries and components without sacrificing your existing investment in ASP or .NET. We believe that this resource will prove invaluable to developers wanting to create increasingly complex platform-independent applications efficiently.

Foundeo Spell Checker 2.0 Install Instructions

1) Extract the Foundeo Spell Checker 2.0 zip to a directory with no spaces in its path on your web server.

2) Run register.bat (by double-clicking it). This will copy the object files and register the com object using javareg.exe. This process requires that the Microsoft JVM be installed on the machine.

4) Copy the spellchecker directory to the document root of the application that will be using Foundeo Spell Checker (eg c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myapp).

5) Browse to /spellchecker/example.asp to test.
