Known issues

Version 1.2 of this channel has the URL of the WebCT server hard-coded in the source. If your server differs in location from that in the source code, you'll need to edit this file and re-compile.

The file is WebCTApi.java.
Line 406 of this file reads:

...


    String reqUrl = "http%3A//localhost%3A8900/webct/homearea/homearea";

You'll need to change this to reflect the location of your WebCT server.
