General
- What are the differences between MOJI and the official Perl client?
-
- MOJI works cross-platform. Including Windows, where the original client requires some modifications to run properly.
- MOJI is better suited for integration into an already existing online e-Learning system, especially if that system is Java based. It has exception handling and can be deployed using Maven.
- MOJI, internally, uses directory mode only. This detail should be negligible if you are starting from scratch. But please keep it in mind when porting your application from the Perl client.
- MOJI uses Java as its default language for programming sources.
- What is the meaning of optN, optX, etc.?
-
Detailed explanations of these parameters can be found in the source code of the original client. Here is a short summary:
optC: Comment string. Will show up on the results page so different results can be distinguished from each other.
optD: Directory mode.
optM: Do not treat source code passage as plagiarism if it is found at least this many times. Supplies an easy way to detect base/template code.
optN: Defines how many matches to display on the results page.
optX: Experimental feature support. Set to 1 to use the experimental MOSS server.
Development
- Why are there runtime exceptions after compiling successfully?
-
If you get runtime exceptions, you are trying to call methods of the socket client in the wrong order -- for example by uploading files before authenticating with the server.
