EOModeller requires that certain Services be working, like the Apple Mach Daemon, and the Apple Netname Server. Check your services control panel to makes sure they are working, and see if the event logs are showing any errors. Also, check your Task Manager to make sure you have pbs.exe, WindowServer.exe, nmserver.exe, and machd.exe running. If any of these are not working properly, none of the Apple apps will run (EOModeller, WOBuilder, etc.). Usually they fail to launch silently except sometimes an entry in the System event log.

Re: Questions from a Neophyte
1) What's the difference between Mac OS X Server and the standard OS X Client (desktop)? - I'm using Tiger (10.4.6). I understand that WebObjects runs on the Server. But can I run WebObjects on my desktop (client)? There is also a point about licencing. Using OS X you receive licence for commercial development and not supported non-OS X deployment (e.g. Linux). With OS X Server you have also a licence for fully supported deployment. -- Piotr Intres Power Media sp. z o.o. mob. +48 606 327 413 ___ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

refreshing the defaultEditingContext
Hi guys, I've been trying to optimize my application a little as I had some RSS feed which was actually creating a session and finally as RSS readers update themselves every x minutes, I just couldn't softly restart the instance. So I moved the RSS component using the defaultSharedEditingContext, making sure no session was created. So this part was ok so far. But trying it I saw that the data from the defaultSharedEditingContext didn't update... I can afford some delay for the update like minutes, but it's been 5 hours now:( How should I make the sharedEC to update itself? The data are being edited/added using another WOApplication, so maybe the other application could call the sharedEC to make it refresh...

Re: refreshing the defaultEditingContext
I wanna make sure I understand this correctly. You were originally using the session().defaultEditingContext() to fetch data for your RSS feed. I am assuming you are accessing the RSS feed from a direct action, so when accessing session() you are getting an unneeded session for each request.You then decided to use the defaultSharedEditingContext in place of the session().defaultEditingContext() to prevent the creation of a new session.If this is accurate them my first question would be: Why did you not create a new instance of EOEditingContext and use that instead of session().defaultEditingContext()? This will prevent creating a new session for each request and will not have the issues related to the shared editing context.You should also examine the documentation on "Fetching Data Ensuring Fresh Data" in this document:http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/Enterprise_Objects/index.htmlExample: public WOActionResults myRSSFeedAction() { EOEditingContext ec = new EOEditingContext(); ec.lock(); /* Fetch your data and generate RSS feed here */ ec.unlock(); }On May 15, 2006, at 2:57 PM, Dev WO wrote:Hi guys,I've been trying to optimize my application a little as I had some RSS feed which was actually creating a session and finally as RSS readers update themselves every x minutes, I just couldn't softly restart the instance.So I moved the RSS component using the defaultSharedEditingContext, making sure no session was created.

Re: NSTimestampFormatter DECREMENTING 'day' on each pass
It really doesn't have to be traumatic :)
You can search through the mailing list - there have been numerous
discussions in the past. What's important is that the timezone
you're using consistent.
Most importantly, EOF has an attribute that I always set on attributes:
serverTimeZone = GMT;
I'm not sure what this defaults to anymore, but I find it useful to
make sure EOF is always looking at dates as being in GMT. Also, if
there's something that I always want to be a date, I use this code:
GregorianCalendar cal = new
GregorianCalendar();
cal.setTime(sourceDateTime);
int year =
cal.get(GregorianCalendar.YEAR);
int dayOfMonth =
cal.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int month =
cal.get(GregorianCalendar.MONTH);
NSTimestamp outputDate = new NSTimestamp(year, month+1,
dayOfMonth, 0, 0, 0, TimeZone.getTimeZone(GMT));
I make sure that be default, the entire WO app is thinking in GMT:
TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone(GMT));
NSTimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone(GMT));
Lastly, if I'm doing something where users need to see dates and
times, I always like them to see the date and time in their own time
zone. To do that, I have some javascript that determines the time
zone of the user's computer:
var msie = navigator.userAgent.indexOf(MSIE);
var now = new Date();
var clientTimeZoneOffset = now.getTimezoneOffset(); // = what browser
thinks is TZ; but
// MS IE version 3 gives wrong sign of TZ
// MSIE 4.0b2 shifts TZ by -1 hour
// Any other problems?
if (clientTimeZoneOffset) {
if (msie -1) {
if (navigator.userAgent.substring(msie+5,msie+6) = 3) {
clientTimeZoneOffset *= -1;
} else {
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf(4.0b2) -1) {
clientTimeZoneOffset += 60;
}
}
}
document.write('input type=hidden name=x-clientTimeZoneOffset
value=' + clientTimeZoneOffset * 60 * -1 + ' /');
}
and places a new element in the header. I put this javascript on an
early page, like the login page. I then grab the header and set a
formatter in the user's session for their own time zone.
I realize there are some serious machinations here, but all in all,
it works and people can use the site from anywhere on the planet and
see the right time.

08:00:00 Etc/GMT - showing 'GMT' as the timezone. I'm in Los
Angeles - a
far way from the GMT.
1919-02-24 08:00:00 Etc/GMT may have been 1919-02-23 in PST assuming
that PST existed in 1919. Dates and time zones are such nasty
concepts, especially in the distant past. Because the JDBC version
used by EOF doesn't support a datetime with timezone data type, all
datetime values are stored in GMT. So you'll need to decide how you
want to display dates and do the time zone adjustments yourself.
Aloha,
Art

Re: WebObjects Licensing
This is how we have deployed some of our instances onto Linux. The one trick is to change the executable to use darwin instead of `uname -a` to detect what system it is, and to maintain the /Library and /System paths it expects to find. I'm deploying on both OSX Server and on Linux (the latter for a group w/ a no Mac but pro Java policy, go figure) On 5/15/06, Randy Wigginton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is the method I am about to attempt... copying the libraries from my mac system to a linux box.

Connecting to LDAP Directory with EOModeler
Title: Connecting to LDAP Directory with EOModeler I need to get some data from an LDAP directory. I tried to use the JNDI adaptor to create an EOModel for this data. I was successful in creating the model and browsing the data in EOModeler, but I was unable to use the model in any code to actually do anything useful. I kept getting error: WorkerThread5 java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapNamingEnumeration.getNextBatch(LdapNamingEnumeration.java:110) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapNamingEnumeration.nextAux(LdapNamingEnumeration.java:244) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapNamingEnumeration.nextImpl(LdapNamingEnumeration.java:235) I searched through the apple mailing list and its archive. I found some posts with the same problem, but I did not see a solution to it. From the limited documentation I could find, it looks like a JNDI model should work just like a JDBC model. Is anyone successfully using the JNDI adaptor to fetch LDAP data using EOModel? If so, what is the trick in getting it to work? Thank you. ___ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Re: refreshing the defaultEditingContext
I am sure there are many ways achieve freshness, however looking at
the advanced WWDC sessions of recent years it seems these
EOEditingContext methods are all you need to use to ensure freshness:
static setDefaultFetchTimestampLag(long lag) and creating new ec's
regularly for EOF based transaction tasks
or
setFetchTimestamp(long timestamp) on an existing ec to now (new
NSTimestamp() ) to ensure that any cached snapshots older than now
are updated from the database.
In my experience, these methods alone are all you need to ensure
fresh data but beware because fresh data means more SQL traffic
to the database, and less use of EOF snapshot caches. I set an
application wide setDefaultFetchTimestampLag to 120 seconds (the
default is one hour) and setFetchTimestamp to now as desired in EC's
where I need the latest instant data from the db. Also the
setFetchTimestamp for the defaultEditingContext can be set to now or
30 seconds ago in the sleep method of Session.

I wanna make sure I understand this correctly. You were originally
using the session().defaultEditingContext() to fetch data for your
RSS feed. I am assuming you are accessing the RSS feed from a
direct action, so when accessing session() you are getting an
unneeded session for each request.
You then decided to use the defaultSharedEditingContext in place of
the session().defaultEditingContext() to prevent the creation of a
new session.
If this is accurate them my first question would be: Why did you
not create a new instance of EOEditingContext and use that instead
of session().defaultEditingContext()? This will prevent creating a
new session for each request and will not have the issues related
to the shared editing context.
You should also examine the documentation on Fetching Data
Ensuring Fresh Data in this document:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/
Enterprise_Objects/index.html
Example:
public WOActionResults myRSSFeedAction() {
EOEditingContext ec = new EOEditingContext();
ec.lock();
/* Fetch your data and generate RSS feed here */
ec.unlock();
}

Hi guys,
I've been trying to optimize my application a little as I had some
RSS feed which was actually creating a session and finally as RSS
readers update themselves every x minutes, I just couldn't softly
restart the instance.
So I moved the RSS component using the
defaultSharedEditingContext, making sure no session was created.
So this part was ok so far.
But trying it I saw that the data from the
defaultSharedEditingContext didn't update...
I can afford some delay for the update like minutes, but it's been
5 hours now:(
How should I make the sharedEC to update itself? The data are
being edited/added using another WOApplication, so maybe the other
application could call the sharedEC to make it refresh...
Or do:
setRefreshesRefetchedObjects(true);
on the fetch specification should work?
Thanks a lot for any tip:)
