Wednesday - June 27, 2007Wonder Source Download, Installation, Setup and UpgradingI had Wonder CVS source tree on disk and also had
some Wonder projects checked out directly from CVS into Eclipse workspace.
Anyhow, this means I had to update both simultaneously and it made sense to have
only one Wonder source tree on my hard drive, so I reconfigured for what I
consider the "ideal" Wonder setup for Eclipse development. While I was at it, I
decided I may as well document it for others .......
Tuesday - August 16, 2005WOPayPal and Understanding Notifications and DelegatesTravis Kripps posted an excellent email to the WO
dev list explaining delegates/notifications and how to use WOPayPal. WOPayPal is
yet another very useful framework included in Project Wonder....
Friday - July 29, 2005Setting up ERPrototypesOther 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.....
Friday - July 29, 2005Setting up ERMailer applicationContributed by Max Muller to Project Wonder,
ERMailer is a simple application that sits on top of ERCoreBusinessLogic that
can deliver email saved into a database. It uses the ERJavaMail for the actual
sending of email. Once set up, your application will simply create mail
enterprise objects, set the attributes and save the mail entities. The ERMailer
app will independently send mail using the data from the same database,
providing the convenience of having one central mailing agent for all your WO
apps that handles mail archiving, mailing errors and retires automatically. Here
are instructions on how I set it up....
Friday - June 17, 2005Setting up Project Wonder LoggingUp to now I have stuck with standard
apache log4j setup and I have avoided even looking at ERXLogger and
related classes in Project Wonder. Using Project Wonder's logging which is part
of the ERExtensions framework has its advantages. You get to configure logging
on Project Wonder's classes which give an enormous amount of useful information
about what's going on and you also get a convenient configuration page for
configuring logging on the fly directly in your app while in development
mode....
Tuesday - June 07, 2005ProgrammingThis is a quote I saw somewhere. Not sure who
said it, but when I think about the "smart friends" providing open source
projects such as Project Wonder and Jakarta, putting this quote here in the
Project Wonder category is very appropriate. Thanks to all those who share their
"smartness" via open source code......
Wednesday - May 18, 2005Download and compile latest CVS Version of Project WonderProject Wonder is a really invaluable resource.
One of my other articles explains how to get started quickly with the binary
release of Wonder. However there are advantages to downloading the source from
CVS too. The biggest advantage is that you can examine the source code yourself
to "learn from the masters". In the source you will see lots of java that does a
lot of stuff. You will also find examples of design patterns throughout the
Wonder frameworks that you can use as strategies for your own application
designs. Here are the instructions to get you going.
Thursday - May 05, 2005MS Excel Downloads using ExcelGenerator from Project WonderThanks to Anjo Krank and the Project Wonder team,
we can create a WOComponent that automatically generates and downloads a
Microsoft Excel workbook using the er.excel.EGWrapper component from the
ExcelGenerator framework. This is very easy to use....
Tuesday - February 01, 2005WOToOneRelationship and Project WOnder ERExtensions frameworkAfter installing the ERExtensions binary
framework, I found that WOToOneRelationship components that were working before
were throwing errors on pages that used them. The root of the problem is that
ERExtensions also contains a WOToOneRelationship component that is "patched in"
to replace Apple's one when ERExtensions framework loads. Anjo Krank, one of the
genius contributors to Project Wonder provided a solution......
Thursday - January 27, 2005QuickStart WebObjects Email using Project Wonder's ERJavaMail FrameworkIf you have never sent mail in java or WebObjects
before, then it may be a daunting task. Having read the community mailing list
threads, it seems that although WOMailDelivery may be easy to use, the consensus
seems to be that using Sun's javamail or ERJavaMail from Project Wonder, which
integrates javamail functionality into WebObjects cleanly, is the way to go.
This article outlines the minimum usage of Project Wonder just to get solid
email functionality with little effort on your part. This article uses the latest
binary release , however if you want to really get started with
Project Wonder in general, I highly recommend you go straight to source
download, compile and install. It is really easy and I have an article
providing instructions . Meanwhile, if you are feeling a little
cautious and just want to use ERJavaMail, then follow these instructions ......
