Re: Primary keys

[Mark Wardle]

Thanks Fabian.

Can one use ERXMigration to add a serial column? I don’t think it is a JDBC 
column type? I can create an integer column and then add the serial default 
value in SQL presumably. I suspect there isn’t a database agnostic way to do 
this.

I’ll try that. Thank you again,

Mark

Re: Static resources in CSS file while using Linux as dev platform

Hi Johann, hi list.

Thx again. I missed, that the css and the jpg were in different folders. Now it 
works like a charm :-)

P.S.: Just out of curiosity: has anybody an answer to my original question? How 
did this work, when Windows was an officially supported platform?

 Hi List,
 
 I have a question because a colleague of mine wants to test Linux as 
 development platform.
 
 Background:
 ---
 I the css file of OurApp.woa we refer to background images like e.g.
 
 #a-div {
 background: 
 url("/WebObjects/OurApp.woa/Contents/WebServerResources/gfx/background.jpg");
 }
 
 To make this working during development on the Mac, I put a softlink from
 
 /MYPATH_TO_ECLIPSE/OUR_APP_PROJECT/build/OurApp.woa --> 
 /Libary/WebServer/Documents/WebObjects/OurApp.woa
 
 This works on the Mac, since the WO-build-in development server somehow 
 scans /Library/WebServer/Documents/ (the default document root for Apache 
 on Mac) during startup and delivers the resources to the browser.
 
 Problem:
 
 Since there is no /Library/WebServer/Documents/ on Linux (default is 
 /var/www/html - at least on Ubuntu), this doesn't work on Linux
 
 Since my colleague doesn't want to create a folder 
 /Library/WebServer/Documents/ (let's call this decision sort of 
 "religious" but nevertheless :-) I was looking for the place where that 
 "/Library/WebServer/Documents/" information came from.
 
 The only place I found, was 
 /PATH_TO_WO_FRAMEWORKS/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/WebServerConfig.plist.
  Inside this plist there is an entry 'DocumentRoot = 
 "/Library/WebServer/Documents";'
 
 Now, my colleague could modify the plist entry and everything works fine, 
 but ...
 
 Question:
 -
 Is there any other way to tell the WebObjects development environment to 
 look for the document root than patching the WebServerConfig.plist inside 
 the JavaWebObjects.framework folder?
 
 Side notes:
 ---
 I tried to override the documentRoot() method of my Application class to 
 return the correct path, but it's never called during startup. At least 
 while in  development mode.
 
 I also tried to set the property "application.documentRoot" - same effect. 
 Doesn't work.
 
 Thanks for your help, C.U.CW

Re: Primary keys

[Fabian Peters]

Hi Mark,

For postgresql you could add a column "serial". When the column is added, it is 
populated with values by postgres. You could then use migration's 
"setPrimaryKey" and "dropPrimaryKey".

This is totally untested…

Primary keys

[Mark Wardle]

Dear all,

I need to add a new primary key to a table that already contains data. 

Is it possible to use migrations to add this and have the column auto-populated 
with a serial number?

My other plan was to create an integer column and then, in code, iterate 
through the objects manually setting the serial integer, and then later on 
migrating that to a primary key. Would this then break primary key generation 
for newly created objects?

All advice appreciated!

Many thanks,

Mark

Re: Static resources in CSS file while using Linux as dev platform

[Christoph Wick]

Hi Ralf, hi list,

thanks for your answer.

Of course, I'm using wonder.

But it doesn't work the way you suggest.

If I replace

> url("/WebObjects/OurApp.woa/Contents/WebServerResources/gfx/background.jpg") 
> repeat;
> }

with 

> body {
> background: url("gfx/background.jpg") repeat;

the background image is not displayed. CSS's urls need absolute URLs.

The stylesheet itself is a static resource and is linked with

Re: Static resources in CSS file while using Linux as dev platform

[Ralf Schuchardt]

When you are using Wonder, you can simply use a path relative to the css file 
in the WebSeverResources directory (e.g. url(gfx/background.jpg) ) and it 
should work in development and deployment.

Static resources in CSS file while using Linux as dev platform

[CHRISTOPH WICK | i4innovation GmbH, Bonn]

Hi List,

I have a question because a colleague of mine wants to test Linux as 
development platform.

Background:
---
I the css file of OurApp.woa we refer to background images like e.g.

#a-div {
background: 
url("/WebObjects/OurApp.woa/Contents/WebServerResources/gfx/background.jpg");
}

To make this working during development on the Mac, I put a softlink from

/MYPATH_TO_ECLIPSE/OUR_APP_PROJECT/build/OurApp.woa --> 
/Libary/WebServer/Documents/WebObjects/OurApp.woa

This works on the Mac, since the WO-build-in development server somehow scans 
/Library/WebServer/Documents/ (the default document root for Apache on Mac) 
during startup and delivers the resources to the browser.

Problem:

Since there is no /Library/WebServer/Documents/ on Linux (default is 
/var/www/html - at least on Ubuntu), this doesn't work on Linux

Since my colleague doesn't want to create a folder 
/Library/WebServer/Documents/ (let's call this decision sort of "religious" but 
nevertheless :-) I was looking for the place where that 
"/Library/WebServer/Documents/"  information came from.

The only place I found, was 
/PATH_TO_WO_FRAMEWORKS/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/WebServerConfig.plist.
 Inside this plist there is an entry 'DocumentRoot = 
"/Library/WebServer/Documents";'

Now, my colleague could modify the plist entry and everything works fine, but 
...

Question:
-
Is there any other way to tell the WebObjects development environment to look 
for the document root than patching the WebServerConfig.plist inside the 
JavaWebObjects.framework folder?

Side notes:
---
I tried to override the documentRoot() method of my Application class to return 
the correct path, but it's never called during startup. At least while in  
development mode.

I also tried to set the property "application.documentRoot" - same effect. 
Doesn't work.

Thanks for your help, C.U.CW
