"Service temporarily unavailable. Try again."
(Which was just the chuckle I needed)
Trying again did work, and it now looks like the right info is there.
That message generally means that BRL 1 crashed, but will restart itself
immediately. BRL 2 is much more stable. We are using it at Eaton Vance
for applications more sophisticated than project-db. The architecture
of BRL 2 is much more performant; users are now accustomed to sub-second
response times.
Thanks to the Kawa compiler underlying BRL 2, you can make use of Java
objects without having to write code in the Java language. I understand
MIT is taking more interest in server-side Java now.
BRL 1 may be good enough for project-db, but if you're starting a new
project, I'd strongly suggest checking out BRL 2. You can print out a
manual from the web site below and read all about it on the T or
whenever you have spare time.
