Friday - August 03, 2007WebObjects Feed AggregatorI had not looked at Yahoo pipes before until
Quinton from Australia posted about it on the WebObjects list. The nice thing is
that you can edit anyone's feed and save a customized copy under your own
profile. Here is the one I made from Quinton's original ....

WO version, XCode version and/or java version. My primary objective is to make
sure I have stable WO development that is compatible with the deployment server
OS version. Sometimes upgrading my development Mac can cause me to have to use a
new version of the OS. In any case, this blog entry is a non-comprehensive table
of compatible versions of the various environment elements. I also include MySQL
version that works well with that combination since that's what I
use.
Saturday - August 13, 2005Using WebObjects DirectActionsDavid LeBer has a really useful series of
articles to get you started on Direct Actions in WebObjects. Direct Actions
provide direct bookmarkable entry points to your applications and provide a
mechanism to avoid using sessions for simple tasks. For example, I just
implemented some directactions to handle email "opt out" requests since I don't
want sessions created for a simple one-click visit to my app for such a trivial
task.....

Wednesday - June 22, 2005Checking Your WebObjects VersionThis is a question that arises now and again on
the wo-dev list. Pierre Frisch provided a tip on which file to examine, so open
your terminal and enter:
$ cat /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/version.plist Thursday - March 10, 2005WebObjects 5.2.3 Development Setup from Scratch on 10.3.7Just replaced my 2 year old Powerbook with a new
one, alas I downgraded to 15" screen due to cost, but I really wanted the jump
from 1GHz to the 1.67GHz in the new models, plus my ADC hardware discount was
about to expire. I really like the new "Welcome" wizard for new OS X Panther
10.3.5+ installations where it allows you to copy all you files, settings, etc
from your old machine. This saves a lot of setup time. However, it DOES NOT copy
over much of my development setup so I had to go through that again and decided
to document the steps here so I don't have to think about it next
time.

Sunday - December 26, 2004Renaming a Project in XCodeThese instructions are adapted from the Apple
instructions for the same task using Project Builder . Renaming a
project in XCode is a bit convoluted, however it only takes a few minutes and is
certainly quicker than recreating the project from scratch in my opinion. Here
is how ...

click Build to find out what syntax errors you have in the code you just typed?
Well, today I discovered something built-in that automatically shows basic
syntax errors every time you save your .java file in XCode ....
Friday - November 12, 2004Beginning WebObjects on WindowsI do not develop WebObjects apps on Windows, so
don't ask me to troubleshoot Windows installation issues, however this article

installation and development on Windows 2000 and XP .....
Tuesday - August 10, 2004Making Sense of Java CodeSense in XCode 1.5The long-awaited Code Sense finally arrives in
XCode released in Aug 2004. Here are my notes on what I had to do to make it
work after I installed XCode 1.5 on top of XCode 1.2/OS X 10.2.4/WO
5.2.3
In summary follow these steps to success: * Check Java installation and make sure CurrentJDK is linked to 1.4.2 * Install XCode 1.5 * Install Java 1.4.2 Developer Package * Unjar Java Docs * Prepare Java Classes for Code Sense * Fix the WO documentation support as per XCode 1.5 release notes * Turn On CodeSense * Finally Use CodeSense Saturday - July 03, 2004Other WebObjects Reference SitesSome of the many useful reference sites for

[Revised 12/17/04] Friday - July 02, 2004Friday - May 21, 2004Debugging TipsSometimes beginners find, as I did, that there is
so much information in the WebObject reference library, it is difficult to find
out how to do some of the basic things that a developer needs to do. So, here
are some tips on how to get the debug information you need during your
development.
Friday - April 30, 2004Logging out of a sessionThe objective of logging out of a session is to
terminate the current user's "logged in" access to data so they can safely leave
their workstation, dispose of the current session object to free up memory, and
return the user to a non-session
page.
Searching the list will show you many suggestions on how to accomplish this. Unfortunately many of the recommendations simply do not work. Here is what works for me and is based on list input by Chuck Hill and Arturo Perez.... |
