You can download D2JC and JC project templates from here: http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/WOLips+Project+Templates The D2JC one will eventually end up in WOLips by default, but for now you have to download the templates and put them in your ~/Library/ Application Support/WOLips/Project Templates directory.

[Solved] Odd cookie expiration behaviour (Safari related?)
That did the trick, thanks:
NSTimestamp oneYear = new NSTimestamp
().timestampByAddingGregorianUnits(1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
NSTimestamp threeMonths = new NSTimestamp
().timestampByAddingGregorianUnits(0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0);
a_rsp.addCookie(new WOCookie("key_a_" + i, "v:" + i, "/", null,
oneYear, false));
a_rsp.addCookie(new WOCookie("key_b_" + i, "v:" + i++, "/", null,
threeMonths, false));
I suspect my earlier issue is maybe a bug in how Safari handles the
timeout duration value (possibly treating it as milliseconds rather
than seconds)
Everyone beware!
Thanks,
Mark

Hello,
We use cookies to do various tracking talks.
When we added a new cookie (with a shorter expiration time than we
would normally use), we noticed something odd:
In Firefox, it was working as expected.
In Safari it was not appearing at all.
On closer inspection, we noticed that he cookie expiration time
was odd.
This is some test code I am using (in Session's appendToResponse) is:
private static int i = 0;
a_rsp.addCookie(new WOCookie("key_a_" + i, "someValue" + i,
"/", null, 31104000, false)); // 31104000 seconds = ~12 months
a_rsp.addCookie(new WOCookie("key_b_" + i, "someValue" + i++,
"/", null, 7776000, false)); // 7776000 seconds = ~3 months
In Firefox, these cookies appear as expected:
- Click
key_a_0 = 0 (expires in 1 year)
key_b_0 = 0 (expires in 3 months)
- Click
key_a_1 = 1 (expires in 1 year)
key_b_1 = 1 (expires in 3 months)
In Safari, it goes weird (to view these, go to Preferences -
Security tab, and click 'show cookies' - it updates in real time)
- Click
key_a_0 = 0 (expires in 12 days)
- Click
key_a_1 = 1 (expires in 12 days)
(no sign of key_b_x)
This happens if you are using Direct Connect (when developing) and
on a live server (with Apache, etc...)
Am I doing something wrong, or is Safari like some kinda crazy thing?

Oooh. topnewsdigest.com. That's where I go for all my Apple-related news. I don't know where they got that. But wherever it's from it's likely from pre-release documentation and likely wildly inaccurate. Or maybe there's some grain of truth to it, but it isn't what you think. Who knows? FWIW, it's from the "Upgrading and Migrating" doc for Snow Leopard. I agree with those who have already posted that what "not supported" really means is probably more like "not included" I've read in other places that one of the goals of Snow Leopard was to use less disk space so I think they pared it down to only the really commonly used packages, and I think we would all agree that WO isn't in that category. However, I do wish that Apple would be more careful about their wording. It's quite understandable that folks would take "not supported" literally, and in this community that's pretty much like shouting "Fire!" Also, regarding the lack of WO stuff at WWDC this year - I mentioned this to an Apple employee who sat next to me at lunch, and he said that Apple put all their resources into WOWODC this year since that's where the most WO users are. This make perfect sense to me, especially since WWDC was so much "all iPhone, all the time" that I expect there was fierce competition for every time slot. We probably got more attention from Apple this way, and I'm ok with that. janine, mostly quiet these days but not entirely gone :) ___ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

I agree that the WO new user experience is pretty lousy. And this is why we do WOWODC East. And people should not forget that training is also available from other places. However, I'm not sure why we should look at the WO community any differently than, say, the Rails community.

This is why mDimension, Chuck/ GVC, Anjo, Quinton, Henrique, Lachlan, and all the other people do what they do. I think we all recognize that WO is powerful and contributing keeps it fresh and moving forward. I think part of the problem is that people expect enterprise support from Apple because of the NeXT days when WO was $50 000. Rails and others started as free right from their beginning, so the community didn't expect enterprise support. Would I like more podcasts on wocommunity.org? YES. Would I like more profiles? YES. And this is why we do the surveys and I presented the stats for wocommunity.org at WOWODC West (I will add those stats to the wiki before the end of June). Incidentally, when I work on Cocoa, I'm just as likely to find answers on cocoadev or the mailing lists as I am to find it in Apple's prepared material. From my perspective, who cares if Apple produces content or promotes WO? Is WO great? Does it solve problems for you better than the alternative? It does for me, too, and I'll continue to use it as long as it's more compelling than the alternatives. Besides the lack of documentation, another point is how much effort made by Apple goes directly into the community. Of course WOLips will be benefit if WO runtime has improvements, but did Apple ever sponsor WOLips just like what they did to clang? Or any WO-related thing Apple want to make it as industry standard just like block in C, OpenCL, llvm? Actualy Apple DOES sponsor WOLips.

I used the linux installer posted by Pascal and others, and between that and using the java6 provided by apt, it all just worked. Perhaps its because you are trying to run things as root and you are kicking off the process directly from init (root) without a sub-shell. Instead, use appserver as prescribed and have your apps run as detailed using "su - appserver " etc. appserver has the NEXT_ROOT being set for it by the installer. check out: http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WO/Installing+WO+5.3+or+WO+5.4+on+Linux 2009/6/13 Atli Páll Hafsteinsson : > Hi > > Has anyone deployed WO on an Ubuntu box ? > > I am having trouble getting WO to accept my NEXT_ROOT variable > > #echo NEXT_ROOT gives me /opt/Apple > #sudo echo NEXT_ROOT gives me /opt/Apple > > but when running an app it complains: > "NEXT_ROOT environment variable is not set!" > > I tryed to set the var in /etc/environment ant /etc/profile with same results > > Any one know whats wrong? > > > -- > Atli Páll Hafsteinsson > atlip...@gmail.com > ___ > Do not post admin requests to the list.

Re: Snow Leopard compatibility and the future of webobjects
Dave already did this, but I wanted to do a pass also. Let me begin this by saying that I have to be very careful what I say because I _actually know what is going on_. "Mac OS X 10.6 server no longer support WebObjects." WO is not on the list of technologies included by default in 10.6, as shown on the 10.6 page. There are lots of interpretations of this. Since Apple itself is still using WebObjects for MobileMe, iTunes store, AppleStore website, RADAR, devforums and many other system, it's difficult to totally replace all the webobjects app to other technology at once. It would be ridiculous for Apple to even consider replacing their incredibly profitable and scalable web properties that are built on a very powerful technology. However, I speculate that Apple will put less and less effort on WebObjects year by year. The iTunes Store is wildly successful and increasing in popularity every day. Is it realistic to think that the strategic move for Apple is to decrease the development effort on the underlying platform? Although WO 5.5/5.6 is coming, I personally do not expect any other good news from Apple. That makes one of us. First deprecates wo-tools, then discontinue the support of WO in the next release of their OS. Regardless of what that statement actually means, have you ever used Apple's WebObjects support? I know I haven't. Anyone who wants ACTUAL WO support, email me -- mDimension would be happy to put together a support package for you. Apple's attitute is obvious Clearly it's not obvious. ––I even talked to an Apple employee at WWDC08 and he said, "You are using WebObjects? I thought only europeans use that." Of course it's just kidding in a very private conversation, but it more or less shows that not all Apple employees are satisfying with WebObjects, and I guess their percentage isn't low. It seems that this year we have nothing metioned on the WWDC IT session page. No lab either. We should be sure not to invite THAT guy to WebObjects Christmas Party ... Even Apple's current wo apps were not good testimonials for WO. iTunes Store and Apple Store are two of the largest online stores in the world. I can't think of better testimonials for WO. Some developers think that Apple's web apps are infamous as 20-century-style and feel frustrated when using them. (It's a long story about how Apple Online Store screw its customer's names with iPhone dev program) Well, it may not be the problem of the essence of WO at all, but the lack of documentation/support is. Ajax framework has been available for 2 or 3 years in Project Wonder now, and has some capabilities that are unique to WO. If you came to WOWODC, you would have seen that we have frameworks for writing RESTful JSON services as well. Not sure what hot 21st century technology you're missing. Maybe why WebObjects is still in Apple is because (1) Apple has no other web technology, (2) Pierre try hard to defending and promoting WO, and (3) both. There's a "(4) because it's awesome" that you're leaving out. I predict the future of WebObjects will be totally running from community. Could you share some thoughts with me? Thanks.

Don't listen too much to the band, but check facts instead, then make your own conclusions about the future. And it is brilliant, dispite the marketing disappointments we are used to for years. Finally: order the WOWODC dvds as soon as they are available, don't speculate, talk to other WO developers and users, gain market shares, enjoy.

I'm not to talk about NDA-things here. Instead, I'm here to discuss what the above statement mean to us. Since Apple itself is still using WebObjects for MobileMe, iTunes store, AppleStore website, RADAR, devforums and many other system, it's difficult to totally replace all the webobjects app to other technology at once.

Hi yllan, I haven't had my coffee yet today, so I'm feeling crabby...

According to the website: http://mac.topnewsdigest.com/uncategorized/conflicting-information-about-webobjects/ "Mac OS X 10.6 server no longer support WebObjects." Oooh. topnewsdigest.com. That's where I go for all my Apple-related news. I don't know where they got that. But wherever it's from it's likely from pre-release documentation and likely wildly inaccurate. Or maybe there's some grain of truth to it, but it isn't what you think. Who knows? I'm not to talk about NDA-things here. Instead, I'm here to discuss what the above statement mean to us. Not much. Since Apple itself is still using WebObjects for MobileMe, iTunes store, AppleStore website, RADAR, devforums and many other system, it's difficult to totally replace all the webobjects app to other technology at once. Or ever. WO not only runs their public-facing apps, but it is also the foundation of almost every other internal application at Apple. Somebody from Apple once said "every penny that Apple makes flows through WO at some point". This is not something that they are going to walk away from. However, I speculate that Apple will put less and less effort on WebObjects year by year. Don't speculate about things you don't know anything about. You said yourself that you weren't at WOWODC or WWDC. Although WO 5.5/5.6 is coming, I personally do not expect any other good news from Apple. First deprecates wo-tools, I don't know how often this needs to be said, but the deprecation of the Apple-developed tools was very good news for WebObjects. The Cocoa- Java Bridge that these tools were based on was deprecated and wouldn't be available in Leopard. So Apple was faced with needing to re-write all the WO-specific dev tools from scratch. But they very wisely saw that the Eclipse-based toolset (WOLips) was already more powerful and less buggy and they chose to _support_ that instead. The tools changed, they didn't disappear. Their decision to recommend, use and invest in WOLips has had a hugely positive impact on the ongoing development of the WO frameworks _and_ the Dev Tools. All internal WO development can now focus on improving the frameworks instead of being sidetracked by the tools. And improve they have. The new templating system in WO 5.4 is really amazing. The strides that WOLips has made over the last year with Apple's backing is simply phenomenal. then discontinue the support of WO in the next release of their OS. Wow. You take an article about "conflicting information" and turn it into fact that Apple is discontinuing WO support. That's an enormous leap there. Apple's attitute is obvious No it's not. It's as obtuse and inscrutable as any of Apple's intentions are and it's even easier to misinterpret, especially when you don't attend the events that specifically cover these things. ––I even talked to an Apple employee at WWDC08 and he said, "You are using WebObjects? I thought only europeans use that." Of course it's just kidding in a very private conversation, but it more or less shows that not all Apple employees are satisfying with WebObjects, Yeah. One guy makes a snide remark and you take it to mean there's a fundamental problem with WO? and I guess their percentage isn't low. Based on what? Where do you get that information? These are all idle speculations by someone that didn't even attend the events that could have provided some of the answers. It seems that this year we have nothing metioned on the WWDC IT session page. No lab either. Maybe because there was so many excellent sessions available at WOWODC that there wasn't a need to have something at WWDC. Even Apple's current wo apps were not good testimonials for WO. Based on what? That's a big statement. Some developers think that Apple's web apps are infamous as 20-century-style and feel frustrated when using them. Some developers think that Perl is the best technology for a web app. (It's a long story about how Apple Online Store screw its customer's names with iPhone dev program) Huh? Well, it may not be the problem of the essence of WO at all, but the lack of documentation/support is. I'll agree that the lack of direct, non NDA information is a constant frustration. A clear roadmap would be great, but Apple just doesn't do that, for anything. Even things they _do_ announce sometimes don't materialize (ZFS, Maybe why WebObjects is still in Apple is because (1) Apple has no other web technology, Maybe the iPhone is the only Apple phone because Apple has no other phone. Oh my God, the iPhone is doomed! (2) Pierre try hard to defending and promoting WO, I've never heard Pierre do either. Does

My assumption is this means it doesn't have the Java apps (javamonitor, wotaskd, etc) installed by default. You can still install the WO runtime, and you can always deploy to a servlet. I deploy to servlets these days, but that's mostly to do with having to use Linux servers. -- Phillip Hutchings sitha...@sitharus.com ___ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Would you have been at WOWODC, you would have notived that, obviously: - Apple's own usage of WO is just increasing constantly, one critical project after the other; - WO is evolving more and faster than ever, both from the Apple's teams effort and the community support, not even talking of a very special framework that has been demoed (you probably heard about); not talking about all the Wonder/WOLips magic stuff; - WO tools have never been that productive, easy to use, and well supported; - The overall level of the WOWODC sessions was just incredible (thanks to the speakers and organization) : after 12 years of WebObjects and other smart technologies, I can tell you the WO magic is actually there again, for long; - WOWODC has now 2 editions - West and East; - Do you see anything on the market that is compelling to WO, both in its current and forthcoming incarnations? None, though there are brilliant people out there working on smart ideas (rails, ...). It is not some kind of WO advocacy from me, it is a fact you can verify by yoursef.
