Category Image Setting up ERPrototypes


Other frameworks such as ERCoreLogicFramework have EOModels that depend on the EOProtypes framework. It is important to set up ERPrototypes to match the database vendor that you are using.....

Update 01/15/2007: These instructions are no longer valid for the latest version of WOnder frameworks. Use Eclipse and Entity Modeler instead.


Assuming you have downloaded the Wonder source from CVS, you will find general instructions at this path:
~/Wonder/Common/Frameworks/ERPrototypes/Documentation/PrototypesHowTo.html

WARNING: Never open an EOModel from the finder ... prototypes from other frameworks will get lost. Always open the eomodel file from within the XCode or Eclipse project.

In my case, I am using MySQL exclusively for WebObjects and I do not use ERPrototypes in my own applications since I already have my own prototypes entity that I established before I adopted Project Wonder. So, I did the following:
1. I deleted EOPrototypes entity
2. I made a copy of EOJDBCMysqlPrototypes and renamed it EOPrototypes
3. I save the erprototypes model
4. Note that whenever you edit and save an eomodel, EOModeler creates a backup copy for you ending with a tilde ( ~ ) character in the same folder. So delete that backup file before you build the project.

I then rebuilt and reinstalled the project
