New WO Install on Monterey

[Theodore Petrosky via Webobjects-dev]

I am trying to install WO on a new M1 machine. I am having a problem with 
assigning the build path.

I have the wonder source at ~/Developer/WonderSource/…

I create a new WO app. I right click this new app and get and select Configure 
Build Path. The whole section on the right, “Add Jars”, “Add External Jars”, 
“Add Variable”, “Add Library”, etc… is grey. I cannot “Add Library”.

As an aside, if I try to install the app with ant, I get an error The framework 
name “ERExtensions” does not exist

Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Monterey mod_WebObjects.so code signing

[John Pollard via Webobjects-dev]

I solved this, so if anyone else needs a pointer:

You can create a self-signed Code Signing Certificate Authority following the 
very good instructions here:
https://www.simplified.guide/macos/keychain-ca-code-signing-create 


You can then create a self-signing Code Signing Certificate as per:
https://www.simplified.guide/macos/keychain-cert-code-signing-create 


You can then sign the library like this:
sudo codesign -s "JPMPLCert" --keychain ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db 
/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.4/mod_WebObjects.so
where “JPMPLCert” is whatever name you called your certificate

I got the error:
unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer …
which I couldn’t resolve, but found a workaround; just sign directly with the 
Certificate Authority cert created above:
sudo codesign -s "JPMPLCA" --keychain ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db 
/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.4/mod_WebObjects.so
where “JPMPLCA” is whatever you called your Certificate Authority

Then add it to the LoadModule line in your apache config:
LoadModule WebObjects_module 
/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.4/mod_WebObjects.so “JPMPLCA"
where the bit in quotes at the end is whatever you ended up signing your 
library with earlier

Now when do my apache configtest I see:
Allowing module loading process to continue for module at 
/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.4/mod_WebObjects.so because module 
signature matches authority "JPMPLCA" specified in LoadModule directive

and the world is right again
