Snow Leopard compatibility and the future of webobjects

2009-06-13 Thread Yung-Luen Lan
Hi,

*** WARNING: I  wasn't able to be at WWDC or WOWODC this year so I'm
not sure the following is correct. ***

According to the website:
http://mac.topnewsdigest.com/uncategorized/conflicting-information-about-webobjects/

Mac OS X 10.6 server no longer support WebObjects.

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.

However, I speculate that Apple will put less and less effort on
WebObjects year by year. Although WO 5.5/5.6 is coming, I personally
do not expect any other good news from Apple. First deprecates
wo-tools, then discontinue the support of WO in the next release of
their OS. Apple's attitute is 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.

Even Apple's current wo apps were not good 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.

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. I predict the future of WebObjects will be totally
running from community.

Could you share some thoughts with me? Thanks.

In fact. 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.


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.

My assumption is this means it doesn't have the Java apps

install the WO runtime, and you can always deploy to a servlet.

Re: Snow Leopard compatibility and the future of webobjects

2009-06-13 Thread Mike Schrag

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

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.

 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.

 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.

I knew that the WO runtime has been improved over year, and Apple uses
many WO in their web applications notheless internal or external. What
I concerned about the future of WO is, will Apple promote WO to
public? Go to http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/ check how
many WO documents were produced after 2007. Only 4. The latest one
even doesn't finished yet. The example code come with Xcode are a bit
outdated and problematic. I still remember how stupid I were last year
when I came to WWDC WebObjects Lab. However, even Pascal Robert can't
get the Apple examples compiled on my system. I'm not sure if Apple
has fixed that, but the environment is unfriendly to new learner.

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?

I mean, if they improve WO just only becasue they have a lot of WO web
apps (think about what Adobe will do if they are accessible to carbon
frameworks--make a 64bit version without a totally rewrite) and are
going to use WO only for Apple's own applications without promoting to
public, it's not a good thing to developers outside Apple.

 --I even talked to an Apple
 employee at WWDC08 and he said, You are using WebObjects? I thought

 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?

No. Just like I said, it's not a problem of essence of WebObjects at all.

 Even Apple's current wo apps were not good testimonials for WO.
 Based on what? That's a big statement.

(1) I often got a seesion timeout when I download iPhone SDK or
something right after I login into developer program page.
(2) The session management is a mess in iTunesConnect.
(3) When I click into an article in page 3 of devforum and jump back,
it goes to page 1.
(4) Short-lived session (since I type English very slow, RADAR often
kicks me out.)
(5) Apple Online Store made some bad assumption on the name of
customer and rewrite the bad data to apple acount. No way to change.
One of my friend got his name displayed on AppStore as 股公司 liu for a
long time. The first part is not even part of his name!
(6) ..

Again, I'm not saying it's because the essense of WO, it may be caused
by flawed design, not well-trained programmer, misunderstood of
requirements or anything.

What I said is, Apple's current wo apps are not good web apps comaring
to other web apps I've used.
Since it's not an excellent web app (no matter what cause that), it
will not be a good testimonial of WO.

Just my two cents.

Re: WO deployment on Ubuntu

2009-06-13 Thread Joe Little
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.

I agree that the WO new user experience is pretty lousy.  However, I'm  
not sure why we should look at the WO community any differently than,  
say, the Rails community.  In almost every other community, it's the  
people in the community who are producing content for everyone else.  
If you think the intro to WO material sucks, then help produce some  
new content and examples. That's how any community stays vibrant -- by  
having members that involve themselves in making it compelling. 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.


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

Actualy Apple DOES sponsor WOLips. The standalone Entity Modeler and  
EOModelDoc were sponsored by iTunes (as I've mentioned previously on  
the list), and quite a few other enhancements over the past several  
months that I've worked on have also been funded by Apple. Apple is  
also actively working on Maven features and support (if you're into  
that sort of thing :) ). Additionally, the work to modify Project  
Wonder to support future versions of WO was in part funded by Apple.



I mean, if they improve WO just only becasue they have a lot of WO web
apps (think about what Adobe will do if they are accessible to carbon
frameworks--make a 64bit version without a totally rewrite) and are

BELIEVE is Struts.  The downloader app might be WO.



(2) The session management is a mess in iTunesConnect.
Honestly ... Never seen those problems with it, but maybe that's just  
me. I definitely won't give iTC an Apple Design Award, though :)

it goes to page 1.
The dev forums aren't WO -- It's Jive, a commercial JSP-based forum  
product.

(5) Apple Online Store made some bad assumption on the name of
customer and rewrite the bad data to apple acount. No way to change.
One of my friend got his name displayed on AppStore as 股公司  
liu for a

long time. The first part is not even part of his name!
What I said is, Apple's current wo apps are not good web apps comaring
to other web apps I've used.
Since it's not an excellent web app (no matter what cause that), it
will not be a good testimonial of WO.
To each his own, I suppose.  I actually think AOS is a pretty nice app  
-- certainly as good (and slicker in several ways) than it's  
equivalently-sized competitors (Amazon, Dell, etc). Concierge is very  
slick. MobileMe is about as modern as you can get.  One-to-One is also  
cool. iTunes is one of the biggest apps on the web and works pretty  
darn well.



Re: Snow Leopard compatibility and the future of webobjects

2009-06-13 Thread Pascal Robert


Le 09-06-13 à 11:50, Mike Schrag a écrit :

I knew that the WO runtime has been improved over year, and Apple  
uses
many WO in their web applications notheless internal or external.  
What

I concerned about the future of WO is, will Apple promote WO to
public? Go to http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/ check how
many WO documents were produced after 2007. Only 4. The latest one
even doesn't finished yet. The example code come with Xcode are a bit
outdated and problematic. I still remember how stupid I were last  
year

when I came to WWDC WebObjects Lab. However, even Pascal Robert can't
get the Apple examples compiled on my system. I'm not sure if Apple
has fixed that, but the environment is unfriendly to new learner.

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.  In almost every other  
community, it's the people in the community who are producing  
content for everyone else. If you think the intro to WO material  
sucks, then help produce some new content and examples. That's how  
any community stays vibrant -- by having members that involve  
themselves in making it compelling. 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. The standalone Entity Modeler and  
EOModelDoc were sponsored by iTunes (as I've mentioned previously on  
the list), and quite a few other enhancements over the past several  
months that I've worked on have also been funded by Apple. Apple is  
also actively working on Maven features and support (if you're into  
that sort of thing :) ). Additionally, the work to modify Project  
Wonder to support future versions of WO was in part funded by Apple.


I mean, if they improve WO just only becasue they have a lot of WO  
web

apps (think about what Adobe will do if they are accessible to carbon
frameworks--make a 64bit version without a totally rewrite) and are
going to use WO only for Apple's own applications without promoting  
to

public, it's not a good thing to developers outside Apple.

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.

was awesome with great content from the whole community and Apple.  We  
even got a technology preview of Gianduia.

Wow. You can wink with your chin. Impressive!

But seriously, there are dozens of us Java Client developers I tell 
you. Dozens!


We're just not loud and obnoxious like you trendy web-UI people. :-P



Yes !

Like Christine sayed there is developers in French universities and I 
know more than half a dozen who are Java Client developers, most of then 
work for the Cocktail Consortium. They maintain about 18 applications in 
Java Client.

So David, I hope you doesn't feel alone in the Java Client flied anymore ;)

European conference would be great !

Good idea. I can tell you the WO community is rather important in 
France. The idea of a conference in Europe is excellent, the most 
developers I know work in the universities and they never go to the 
WWDC and I am quite sure we can share a lot of things.
Personnaly, I work permanently with JavaClient and I hope to be able 
to deliver very soon information about my work to go on with Java 
Client and another builder than IB

I have, essentially, three kind of apps: EOF/Cocoa are the most of  
them; also, I have some D2W and D2JC.


I want to try JC and D2W from the new tools, but I had not found the  
time to learn, nor a simple example...

Do you know if there is some new?
maybe at the WOCOM site?

The EOF/Cocoa part of the project, is another story... I may end up  
using AJRDatabase frameworks...


My name is Dino and I am a WO+Cocoa addict

You do!? Direct to Java Client? Really? Excellent!

Do you know if there is some new?

I can't help with the D2W stuff - bug David LeBer about those. I know  
he is planning some D2W stuff.


As far as JC and D2JC, there are not yet actual demos or sample  
projects, but it is on my list of things to work on over the next few  
weeks.


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.


Just drop a EOModel into the Resources directory of the D2JC project  
and run it. You'll get a D2JC app - as easy as it was in Xcode.

I'd have to agree.  I just hit the five year mark, and after attending  
WOWODC, the future couldn't be brighter in my opinion.


I was actually getting worried that we had gone through the entire  
week without the obligatory end of the WOrld post on the list.  I  
feel better now.  I would really worry if there wasn't enough interest  
to in the technology to lash out at Apple every year :-O


And, if MIke is happy, I am HAPPY!   Thanks to everyone in the  
community that has made this such a great platform for development.

it's a bit like a jehovah witness: they knock at your door from time

but then a few days later it's all forgotten - like a bad dream - and
you crack on with your WOnderful life ...



Yeah, if you are prone to anxiety this might not be the technology for  
you!
