• It started as a side project when I was working for Phenix Engineering, dealing with multiple combinations of the same product, on version 9 and 10, Linux and Windows, and OpenEdge / Oracle / SQL Server databases
• While the first version was released on June 6th, the first commit in the repository is only from July 28th
• The first patch by an external contributor was committed on November 3rd 2003 by Flurix (don't know his real name, or the company)
• The first version included PCTCompile, PCTCreateBase, PCTLibrary, PCTLoadSchema and PCTDumpSchema tasks. No PCTRun at this time.
• The first unit tests were committed on October 26th, 2003 : 7 tests for this first commit
• There are now more than 230 unit tests, multiplied by 7 test platforms, so approximately 1600 test cases for each build
• There was no Hudson, no Jenkins in 2003. PCT was compiled every night on a Pentium (60 MHz or so) sitting under my desk
• As of today, there were 1358 commits (a bit more a commit every 3 days, not a very big project !)
• I included some statistics on PCT usage in September 2009, to know if it was worth working on PCT. I don't remember the exact results, but they were good enough to continue...
• The latest build of PCT (released mid-March) was downloaded 160 times. Not bad for an OpenEdge only dev toolkit.
• I will create a 1.0 (or 10.0 ?) version to celebrate this anniversary
• In the mean time, I released 18 versions from 2003 to 2011...
• And a bit less than 40 continuous integration builds since 2011
• Under the hood, more than 200 builds from the test repository
• PCT started on SourceForge, and migrated to Google Code and Mercurial (unknown date, I'd say in 2009 or 2010)
• The first time PCT was presented in a public conference was the German PUG event in 2009 (along with Padeo, a deployment solution for OpenEdge, using MSI installers)
• Multi-threaded compilations were introduced in 2007 because I needed a test project to play with Java synchronization mechanisms. I never really expected people would use it, and was a bit surprised when the first bug reports came in
• PCT will be a foundation of a brand new source code analysis project, based on Sonar Source. A preview can be seen here
• If you're working with PCT (or not) and would like to improve it : you can test it, report bugs, suggest improvements, provide patches... You can also correct my bad english in the documentation. 

Step 1 : Download Tomcat

Step 2 : create a new webapp

Step 3 : copy static files

Step 4 : create web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
   version="2.5"> 

     <servlet>
        <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>debug</param-name>
          <param-value>0</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>cgiPathPrefix</param-name>
          <param-value>WEB-INF/cgi</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>executable</param-name>
          <param-value></param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>passShellEnvironment</param-name>
          <param-value>true</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>4</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/cgi/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Step 5 : privileged application

<Context privileged="true" />

Step 6 : configure your webspeed broker

Step 7 : play !

Bonus step 1 : URL rewriting

<filter>
        <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.UrlRewriteFilter</filter-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>confReloadCheckInterval</param-name>
            <param-value>0</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
        <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
        <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
    </filter-mapping>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE urlrewrite PUBLIC "-//tuckey.org//DTD UrlRewrite 3.2//EN"
        "http://tuckey.org/res/dtds/urlrewrite3.2.dtd">
<urlrewrite>
    <rule>
        <from>/cgiip/(.*)</from>
        <to>/cgi/cgiip.exe/WService=wsbroker1/$1</to>
    </rule>
 
    <!-- default rules included with urlrewrite -->
    <rule>
        <note>
            The rule means that requests to /test/status/ will be redirected to /rewrite-status
            the url will be rewritten.
        </note>
        <from>/test/status/</from>
        <to type="redirect">%{context-path}/rewrite-status</to>
    </rule>
    
    <outbound-rule>
        <note>
            The outbound-rule specifies that when response.encodeURL is called (if you are using JSTL c:url)
            the url /rewrite-status will be rewritten to /test/status/.
 
            The above rule and this outbound-rule means that end users should never see the
            url /rewrite-status only /test/status/ both in thier location bar and in hyperlinks
            in your pages.
        </note>
        <from>/rewrite-status</from>
        <to>/test/status/</to>
    </outbound-rule>
