Keep in mind that all of this Properties configuration stuff is more

the Project Wonder section (perhaps Introduction to Wonder  
Properties).


OK, here are a few more bits and pieces that you may or may not know  
about.


The use of Properties.user.name is not only useful for basic  
development and deployment configurations, but is ideal for teams of  
developers where each developer has his/her own Properties file for  
development since they may be working from different locations with  
different database auth, smtp servers and logging settings, etc.
Also, note that Properties.user.name can be used to add additional  
properties *or* to override stuff in the main Properties.


Be careful about over-use or abuse of the @@ template stuff though,  
it can get confused when the logic stretches across multiple  
Properties files.


For example in a Properties.user.name file I may have sth like:
smtpserver=smtp.somedomain.com

and in the main Properties file I might have multiple other  
properties in various places in the Properties file that pick up  
that single setting depending on which user.name config is in use,  
for example:


log4j.appender.myMail.SMTPHost=@@smtpserver@@
er.javamail.smtpHost=@@smtpserver@@
WOSMTPHost=@@smtpserver@@

Another Wonder Properties feature is that all of your log4j settings  
can be configured in a Properties file, which is ideal for user and  
deployment specific logging configuration.


For example the base loggers config in my main Properties file in  
one app I have looks like this. And some line items such as  
log4j.rootLogger, log4j.appender.myMail.To are defined in each user  
Properties file (Properties.deploy, Properties.kieran, etc.). Notice  
the use of @@ substitution in properties such as  
log4j.appender.A2.file, log4j.appender.myMail.SMTPHost,  
log4j.appender.myMail.Subject.


In the Properties.kieran file, I might have log4j.rootLogger= INFO, A1

snip - sample from main Properties
# Pattern codes:

Tim, hope that gives you enough bits and pieces to start a wiki  
page. Also, if you are not working with Wonder source you should  
be  a lot of good education in that there source code. Check out  
the ERXProperties.java class to learn more about Properties in Wonder.

I install eclipse 3.5 on another computer without this problem.

I think it's the problem of eclipse since I also have problem  
updating

the built-in galileo update site.
I tried reinstall eclipse 3.5, start a new workspace, remove
~/Library/Caches/org.eclipse.eclipse, ~/.eclipse_keyring and
~/Library/Preferences/org.eclipse.eclipse.plist but the problem is
still here. Change another user account didn't fix that either.  
(Hence

it's not likely bad thing happened in users home directory)

If you have any idea how to fix that (so I can install the wolips 3.5
branch), please let me know.

yllan

Also a new Wonder project in WOLips will usually have recommended

lead you to discover configurable properties that are not documented
anywhere too.

Deployment scripts generally take the split tar.gz's created by the

the copied tar.gz's can be copied from one remote machine to all

BTW Tim,

For WOMonitor, just make sure that port 56789 is closed to the outside  
world and for security, use an ssh tunnel to forward port 56789 to  
port whatever in your own remote machine. Then access the local  
forwarded port in your browser.

~/Library/Caches/org.eclipse.eclipse, ~/.eclipse_keyring and

still here. Change another user account didn't fix that either.  
(Hence

it's not likely bad thing happened in users home directory)

OK, here are a few more bits and pieces that you may or may not know  
about.


The use of Properties.user.name is not only useful for basic  
development and deployment configurations, but is ideal for teams of  
developers where each developer has his/her own Properties file for  
development since they may be working from different locations with  
different database auth, smtp servers and logging settings, etc.
Also, note that Properties.user.name can be used to add additional  
properties *or* to override stuff in the main Properties.


Be careful about over-use or abuse of the @@ template stuff though,  
it can get confused when the logic stretches across multiple  
Properties files.


For example in a Properties.user.name file I may have sth like:
smtpserver=smtp.somedomain.com

and in the main Properties file I might have multiple other  
properties in various places in the Properties file that pick up  
that single setting depending on which user.name config is in use,  
for example:


log4j.appender.myMail.SMTPHost=@@smtpserver@@
er.javamail.smtpHost=@@smtpserver@@
WOSMTPHost=@@smtpserver@@

Another Wonder Properties feature is that all of your log4j settings  
can be configured in a Properties file, which is ideal for user and  
deployment specific logging configuration.


For example the base loggers config in my main Properties file in  
one app I have looks like this. And some line items such as  
log4j.rootLogger, log4j.appender.myMail.To are defined in each user  
Properties file (Properties.deploy, Properties.kieran, etc.). Notice  
the use of @@ substitution in properties such as  
log4j.appender.A2.file, log4j.appender.myMail.SMTPHost,

WOLips 3.5 tree not showing Wonder project wizards : SOLVED

2009-06-25 Thread Joe Little

Creating a new workspace showed that the Wonder project creation
wizards were indeed there. I went back to my current workspaces and
even though I had reselected WOLips perspectives, it only would show
default WebObjects project creation wizards.

For future reference the solution was to Reset the Perspective. My
guess is that any Eclipse update both needs to reselect the WOLips
perspective (it is generally shown as WOLips in the top right of
the window. And then one must still reset the perspective.

Re: [OT] WOLips - Eclipse compatibility?

2009-06-25 Thread Yung-Luen Lan

It's likely something wrong in my system/configuration.

Another computer update successfully at the same time, and VMWare
running OSX server at the same machine have no problem either. But
different accounts on the same machine still suffer from this error.

So it should not be the problem of internet, the update sites or my
computer's hardware.

So I have the same error message with WOLips update link:

I had a similar problem today with the same site, when installing another

archive of the plugin you want to install from the eclipse downloads site.

I install eclipse 3.5 on another computer without this problem.

I think it's the problem of eclipse since I also have problem updating
the built-in galileo update site.
I tried reinstall eclipse 3.5, start a new workspace, remove
~/Library/Caches/org.eclipse.eclipse, ~/.eclipse_keyring and
~/Library/Preferences/org.eclipse.eclipse.plist but the problem is
still here. Change another user account didn't fix that either. (Hence
it's not likely bad thing happened in users home directory)

If you have any idea how to fix that (so I can install the wolips 3.5
branch), please let me know.

OK, here are a few more bits and pieces that you may or may not  
know about.


The use of Properties.user.name is not only useful for basic  
development and deployment configurations, but is ideal for teams  
of developers where each developer has his/her own Properties file  
for development since they may be working from different locations  
with different database auth, smtp servers and logging settings, etc.
Also, note that Properties.user.name can be used to add  
additional properties *or* to override stuff in the main Properties.


Be careful about over-use or abuse of the @@ template stuff though,  
it can get confused when the logic stretches across multiple  
Properties files.


For example in a Properties.user.name file I may have sth like:
smtpserver=smtp.somedomain.com

and in the main Properties file I might have multiple other  
properties in various places in the Properties file that pick up  
that single setting depending on which user.name config is in use,  
for example:


log4j.appender.myMail.SMTPHost=@@smtpserver@@
er.javamail.smtpHost=@@smtpserver@@
WOSMTPHost=@@smtpserver@@

Another Wonder Properties feature is that all of your log4j  
settings can be configured in a Properties file, which is ideal for  
user and deployment specific logging configuration.


For example the base loggers config in my main Properties file in  
one app I have looks like this. And some line items such as  
log4j.rootLogger, log4j.appender.myMail.To are defined in each user  
Properties file (Properties.deploy, Properties.kieran, etc.).  
Notice the use of @@ substitution in properties such as  
log4j.appender.A2.file, log4j.appender.myMail.SMTPHost,  
log4j.appender.myMail.Subject.


In the Properties.kieran file, I might have log4j.rootLogger= INFO,  
A1

Tim, hope that gives you enough bits and pieces to start a wiki  
page. Also, if you are not working with Wonder source you should  
be  a lot of good education in that there source code. Check  
out the ERXProperties.java class to learn more about Properties in  
Wonder.

you can also do Properties.dev, which will get loaded for everyone

That would probably be a great place to set up a lot of the diagnostic

 When you say you select any other row, do you mean
 setting the current to another
 row?  That should work!  If it's not working then I would try to find out why it's not.  
 For example, if your category pop-up
  hag
   selection =
 current.contactCategory;
 and then your sub-category pop-up
 had:
 list = current.contactCategory.subCategories; 
 selection = current.subCategory;
 then I'm pretty sure it would work as that
 is a typical setup I've used in my apps.  In other
 words, everything is tied to current so that when you change
 it then the selection in the category pop-up updates and
 then the list of sub-categories and selection there also
 update in the user interface.

but were your popups on a ModalContainer? maybe this is the problem.

All browsers?  Just Safari?  I have seen this on Safari, but only

We are not sure if its an apache problem or maybe request handler  
problem.


Does anybody have advice on where i should start?

WO 5.3 on Tiger server

Wonder Revision 9482

My guess would be a browser / network / apache problem.  If it was  
the app, the second click would not process straight away.  Start by  
checking the Apache logs to see if the request even arrives at your  
server.  If is does, check the app logs (you do have good logging,  
right?), to see if it gets there.

A couple questions about this one. Do you set the ownership of /etc/ 
WebObjects to the appserver user? And for YourAppName how is the app  
name polled? I ask because in deployment my app is named  
myapplication but the actual woa is myApplication.woa. I would  
think it would use the former? And I'm assuming these properties  
wouldoverride all like entries in the app/framework Propertieses? :-)


Thanks much,
Tim

Re: Best Practices - Properties files

All:

context: I've been wanting to start some threads on simple best  
practices and maybe get involved in helping with the wiki. From my  
own work, this seemed as good a place to start as any.

I have a project that is pretty recently moved to Wonder. From  
searching list posting and blogs I have seen mentions of different  
configurations of Properties files that Wonder will discover and use  
for database connection stuff, etc. Some of them I hadn't seen  
mention of elsewhere.


I've recently started using Properties.username for doing dev work  
and keeping passwords in there (and away from my code repository).  
However, I've also recently seen whisper of a Properties.dev.


Two things I'd like to see:

1. a full concise list of what all the possible Properties files  
(requiring Wonder or not) and also how the more experienced among us  
leverage them. If it turns out there are some that don't have great  
documentation I'll volunteer to update the wiki!!


2. It still seems to me that another Properties file must be  
inserted at deployment for different db passwords, etc. How do the  
veterans among handle this? I've seen some deployment scripts around  
but haven't dug into that stuff yet. I still build very locally and  
deploy very manually (scp). :-)


using Wonder

I define in the application Properties file:
runtime.config.dir=Properties
runtime.config.name=

and:
er.extensions.ERXProperties.OptionalConfigurationFiles=(\
@@runtime.config.dir@@/log4j@@runtime.config.name@@.properties,\
@@runtime.config.dir@@/jdbc@@runtime.config.name@@.properties,\
@@runtime.config.dir@@/runtime@@runtime.config.name@@.properties,\
@@runtime.config.dir@@/runtime@@runtime.config.name@@.properties,\
../instance.properties
)

For deployment simply tell JavaMonitor:
-Druntime.config.dir=../../Properties

For eclipse launch targets, I can switch between test, nightly backup  
db environments setting:

-runtime.config.dir ../../Properties
-runtime.config.name test or dev or...

with regards,

Re: [Wonder-disc] Best Practices - Properties files

2009-06-25 Thread Mike Schrag

A couple questions about this one. Do you set the ownership of /etc/ 
WebObjects to the appserver user?
you want it readable, but not writable, by whatever user you launch  
your app as


And for YourAppName how is the app name polled? I ask because in  
deployment my app is named myapplication but the actual woa is  
myApplication.woa. I would think it would use the former?
iirc, it uses application.name(), which should correspond to whatever  
you name your app, not what you name the app folder.


And I'm assuming these properties wouldoverride all like entries in  
the app/framework Propertieses? :-)

yep

Re: NullPointerException in _popComponentFromContext



Well here's what I'm seeing... my component determines that it is the  
one that should invoke the action and goes through this code:


// Tell context that an action was performed.  If this is
// not done, the form's default action will be called also.
111:wocontext.setActionInvoked(true);
112:
113:	WOActionResults obj = (WOActionResults)  
valueForBinding(ACTION_BINDING_KEY);

114:if (obj == null) obj = wocontext.page();
115:
116:return obj;

Line # 113 should be calling the action method that is bound to the  
action binding.  That is the method on which I set the breakpoint that  
I was referring to earlier.  The one I never hit.  So if I don't hit  
the breakpoint then it's not calling it.  But it is calling something  
else because I see stuff show on the console every time I evaluate the  
expression valueForBinding(ACTION_BINDING_KEY).


Anyways, I'll try to investigate what is getting called... or maybe  
take a look at valueForBinding to find out why it's not calling the  
right thing.


If I evaluate the expression _associationWithName(ACTION_BINDING_KEY)  
in the debugger right after line #113 I get the following:


(ognl.helperfunction.WOHelperFunctionBindingNameAssociation)  
ognl.helperfunction.WOHelperFunctionBindingNameAssociation:  
keyPath=^action

Re: NullPointerException in _popComponentFromContext



Let me correct something I said: the action method is getting  
called!!!  ––  I was just confused the first time I looked.


Anyways, the action method gets called and then that action method is  
calling performParentAction as follows:


   return performParentAction(s);

I did not write that component and I rarely use the  
performParentAction.  But that is returning null.  And that is the  
value my component gets at line#113 and returns the page instead (is  
that bad? should I return the null value instead?).


Then if I resume execution I get the null pointer exception in  
_popComponentFromContext() in WebObjects.


Still investigating...

Well here's what I'm seeing... my component determines that it is  
the one that should invoke the action and goes through this code:


// Tell context that an action was performed.  If this is
// not done, the form's default action will be called also.
111:wocontext.setActionInvoked(true);
112:
113:	WOActionResults obj = (WOActionResults)  
valueForBinding(ACTION_BINDING_KEY);

114:if (obj == null) obj = wocontext.page();
115:
116:return obj;

Line # 113 should be calling the action method that is bound to the  
action binding.  That is the method on which I set the breakpoint  
that I was referring to earlier.  The one I never hit.  So if I  
don't hit the breakpoint then it's not calling it.  But it is  
calling something else because I see stuff show on the console every  
time I evaluate the expression valueForBinding(ACTION_BINDING_KEY).


Anyways, I'll try to investigate what is getting called... or maybe  
take a look at valueForBinding to find out why it's not calling the  
right thing.


If I evaluate the expression  
_associationWithName(ACTION_BINDING_KEY) in the debugger right after  
line #113 I get the following:


(ognl.helperfunction.WOHelperFunctionBindingNameAssociation)  
ognl.helperfunction.WOHelperFunctionBindingNameAssociation:  
keyPath=^action

Sigh...

Does anybody see anything obvious in this stack trace?  I used  
to have this exception ages ago and it was obscure.  I don't  
recall what ended up fixing it exactly but now that I moved my  
application to Wonder I'm running into this again and haven't  
figured out yet why or how to fix it.  Any ideas??  
Pleeeassee!!  :-)


I have seen this before.  It is caused by  the context not  
knowing the current component.  This is hitting some action  
method.  What is it returning?


I see in the stack trace that it's going through the invokeAction  
phase.  But the action method that is supposed to get called has  
not been called yet.  I set a breakpoint in the method that it's  
supposed to get called but I hit the exception first and the  
action method never gets called.


I'll set a breakpoint in the invokeAction() method of the  
component that is supposed to call the action to see how things  
look from there.


From what I can tell the _popComponentFromContext() gets the  
current component from the context and then to message it and  
throws the null pointer exception because the current component is  
null for some obscure reason.


Anyways, I'm taking a look at the invokeAction in my component.


I really ought to take better notes when I hit things like this.
