Same model with multiple databases and no EOs --a vendor "database"
I have a given database I want to integrate into some existing webobjects info systems. The database is not too normal, so some directions to proceede would be appreciated. Q1. Some tables have no primary key, so no EOs. But there is a method called rawRowsForSQL on the EOUtilities class. Is that the best option other than raw sql? All other tables have non-numeric primary keys , columns which really should be entity attributes and not primary keys. Wonder has er.extensions.eof.ERXEOAccessUtilities; any other things I should look at for raw row non-EO fun? raw SQL? Q2. There is what I would consider a location attribute, but instead of making it an attribute, it is used as a database name. So there is one model, but several databases, all similar except for the connection dictionary. The dictionaries only differ slightly: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/locationA << (At least postgres is involved.) VS jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/locationB EnterpriseObjects.pdf discusses: How does an EOObjectStoreCoordinator determine which of its EOCooperatingObjectStores should service a particular fetch specification? Remember that within an EOModelGroup, entity names must be unique. Also remember that fetch specifications are entity-centric—every fetch specification is specified on the basis of a particular entity. So an object store coordinator simply looks for the list of entities registered within its cooperating object stores to match an entity name to particular cooperating object store. So I need to setup a EOObjectStoreCoordinator (OSC) for each different database, and change the connection dictionary so it has the correct jdbc url: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/locationA << default with model jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/locationB jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/locationC On these OSCs, I can use EODatabaseContext.forceConnectionWithModel to set the correct connection dictionary, or EOUtilities.connectWithModelNamed, or some other method somebody (not me) knows of. Then I just use ECs from the correct OSC to do the raw row non-EO fun: EOObjectStoreCoordinator locationBObjectStore = new EOObjectStoreCoordinator(); EOEditingContext editingContextLocationB = new EOEditingContext(locationBObjectStore); Does this sound like the correct direction to deal with these databases? refs: Re: Different Database Connection per session for the same model site:lists.apple.com goat herding What could go wrong?

Re: Frontbase metadata with DBUnit not working--NOW WORKING
Before I forget to mention it, I did get FrontBase (FB) and DBUnit working.
The problem seems to be that FB versions after 5.2 seem to behave differently.
DBUnit checks tables in the FB schema, but only with the newer versions it gets
an error:
org.dbunit.dataset.NoSuchTableException: Did not find table
'INFORMATION_SCHEMA_CATALOG_NAME' in schema 'null'
when writing out the metadata via FlatDtdDataSet.write(…). Now the
'INFORMATION_SCHEMA_CATALOG_NAME' is in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA, along with:
INFORMATION_SCHEMA_CATALOG_NAME*,
EOMODELER_RELATIONS*,
BLACK_AND_WHITE_LIST*,
TABLE_STATISTICS_HISTORY*,
So don't use that schema, and you will have one less problem.
DBUnit has a new method JdbcDatabaseTester which takes the schema name to use,
so by using only the _SYSTEM schema, it does not reference all the junk in the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA, and consequently does not get the above error, and is able
to write out the dtd as well as the actual xml data set (which always did work).
Also, with mixed case table names, I must now set a "Feature" like:
dtdConnection.getConfig().setFeature("http://www.dbunit.org/features/caseSensitiveTableNames";,
true) ;

Frontbase metadata with DBUnit not working
Hello,
Does anybody use Frontbase with DBUnit? I have recently upgraded a project and
the newer versions of Frontbase are causing some problems with dbunit.
I have changed some testing code and everything works (ah…so far..) except
writing out the database schema with dbunit, something like:
FlatDtdDataSet.write(dout, new FileOutputStream(dtdname));
which causes an exception because it can't find or validate the metadata:
org.dbunit.dataset.NoSuchTableException: Did not find table
'INFORMATION_SCHEMA_CATALOG_NAME' in schema 'null'
at
org.dbunit.database.DatabaseTableMetaData.(DatabaseTableMetaData.java:146)
at
org.dbunit.database.DatabaseDataSet.getTableMetaData(DatabaseDataSet.java:293)
at org.dbunit.dataset.xml.FlatDtdWriter.write(FlatDtdWriter.java:94)
at org.dbunit.dataset.xml.FlatDtdDataSet.write(FlatDtdDataSet.java:111)
at org.dbunit.dataset.xml.FlatDtdDataSet.write(FlatDtdDataSet.java:99)
I had similar problems with table names, it seems a case issue with metadata
and setting a dbunit property:
connection.getConfig().setFeature("http://www.dbunit.org/features/caseSensitiveTableNames";,
true) ;
fixed that. It seems that the case-insensitive default just up-cases all names,
then it looks for the up-cased table name. It does not seem case insensitive to
me, as the case-insensitive default can not find tables with mixed case, like
"WoodenTable"
Frontbase seems to change a little with each version; I noted awhile back that
WOlips could not reverse engineer the latest version of a Frontbase db,
previous versions could be reverse engineered. Again, probably a metadata
issue.

Yes, the maven stuff needs a little love and attention. This makes me wonder if there can be a streamlining of maven. Right now it is designed to be a totally separate system from the wolips system. Of course, that means a whole separate system to maintain, document, test, etc. Maybe maven can be streamlined to require less maintenance work? The archetypes for project creation do need some updating. But--do we need maven archetypes? What am I thinking? One way to use maven would be to use the regular FluffyBunny (FB) projects creation, then have a wolips | goodie | option | choice that would take a FB project and write a POM.xml. This option could be extended to even clone the FB project, and put it in a src/main folder structure instead of the FB folder structure, and make it a maven nature project in eclipse, if it really mattered or was necessary. Development/debugging would then take place with the same standard eclipse/wolips setup, which has many useful debugging tools, debugging screens, some of which don't work with maven-natured eclipse projects. All the wiki documentation would not need anything special for maven, as everybody would be developing/debugging with the standard wolips. However, if somebody wanted to turn in a project, and not require downloading Wonder, and all the directory setup, Wonder installation, etc.--then they could just generate a pom.xml and turn in their project. I think the best thing about maven is that all one needs to build one's project is a pom.xml (+maven). It doesn't require Eclipse, downloading Wonder, or any of that complication. I suspect that most developers also build the production version, test, and do everything themselves, so they already have eclipse, Wonder, etc. But maven is nice because one just needs to "mvn clean deploy", and that works on Windows, linux, MacOS: there is no downloading eclipse on windows/linux/Mac, compiling Wonder with all the right wobuild.propeties, etc. A chimpanzee could probably build a production woa; I am not sure about a monkey. I also like that the correct version of a jar is specified, no ambiguous questions like: What version was that? or where did those jars go? I don't know if the development part of a maven project in eclipse is what people (4 or 5 people?) like; development seems to work better using standard wolips.The portable almost-now-standard maven build process is useful. The repository / library system is wonderful too; as one can find about any jar, any version, and use it. And, with the nexus maven repository, one will have a copy of all the artifacts/jars needed to build one's projects, until the disk and backups fail. Maybe a more streamlined approach, which piggybacks on all the wolips stuff would be a useful future direction. It would be more efficient, require less upkeep.

WebObjects apps in war; maven; where is ERXServletAdaptor; etc.
Hi,
For more fun and joy, I am trying to package and -- this is the
important part-- run a WebObjects Wonder app in a tomcat or jetty
container.
I think I am getting tripped up by the Wonder initialization in a
servlet environment. (WO 5.3)
The auto-generated web.xml file has:
WOServletAdaptor
er.extensions.jspservlet.ERXServletAdaptor
5
Hmm Wonder has no er.extensions.jspservlet.ERXServletAdaptor.java,
and neither does the http://maven.wocommunity.org/content/groups/
public & snapshot repository of goodies.
Q 1. Should http://maven.wocommunity.org/content/groups/public have
this jar, or am I missing where it is?
I did a svn checkout, and a maven build and I found a jar with
ERXServletAdaptor. Next question:
Q 2. Should I use that jar?
In http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WONDER/Creating+a
+wonder+app+to+deploy+as+a+servlet I read that "Henrique created a
class called ERXServletAdaptor and it is submitted as a pending
project wonder patch as we speak (or as I type, as the case may be).
I could not get the code in that patch to run as is, so I have
changed it just a bit. Here is my version of the class that works for
me. Something very similar to this may soon be bundled with project
wonder [ or not--"As I told Henrique in his bug report: I'm not
going to include this
into ERX..." ] , but for now, you can just toss this class into your
project's Sources folder:"
(yeah, after you figure out javax.servlet api has to be found and
added as a dependancy. )
Is that the version I should use? Is that different than the jar I
got with a Wonder svn download and build? Which one?
Q 3. Info.plist Doctype? Do I have to remove that? Here it says to:
http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WO/Web+Applications-
Deployment-Tomcat+Deployment
Q 4. Perhaps it is WO 5.3.3? They have the WOServletAdaptor in two
jars JavaWOJSPServlet and a JavaWOJSPServlet_client ; which one?
both? or is it the classpath order?
Oh, the excitement!
This is the error I always get: javax.servlet.UnavailableException:
Error initializing ERXServletAdaptor: ${mainclass}

It has a list of things to do like: stop a bunch of processes sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ com.apple.womonitor.plist sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ com.apple.wotaskd.plist check for software updates check the disks email a report of all the above and general server condition pause a few hours so I can do some maintenance if necessary restart needed services reboot and come up fully functional A few minutes after reboot, a status report is emailed just to check that everything is working.

Graceful shutdown of WO apps + monitor + wotaskd

Re: WO development on Windows with Eclipse/WOLips
All, WebObjects is definitely an awesome tool. I can say that as for the past four years I have been using WO, my WO efforts and the results the apps generate have caught the attention of a much larger company under whom I am now employed. My question centers around the fact I am required to embrace a government standard of Windows + SQL Server for the WO applications for both deployment and development. Deployment comes later, and with the recent activity on the list I believe I will be ok using Tomcat. Ick! is my first thought. You will probably want my SQL Server plugin: http://www.gvcsitemaker.com/chill/ms_sql_server_eof_plugin You will probably spend some time working around SQL Server features / limitations. Chuck, Does that plugin work with wonder / WO 5.3.3 ? Its problem is only that it doesn't build under WO 5.3.3, correct? Thanks! ___ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Re: maven.
Anyway. I'm TRYING not to hate, but I am just not feeling it. ms I liked the Maven: The Definitive Guide It 'should' be easier, it should be talking to the 'archetype' instead of the 'wizard' to create projects, and that is all; but, that is currently broken as the archetypes needs to be updated to work with equal functionality to the 'wizards', the workarounds in the wiki are a pain. They may be fixed soon? :>) Dependancies : in eclipse with m2eclipse you can Navigate > Open Maven Pom> then enter some jar name and it brings up related jars or whatevers. I wish here one could just drag the desired artifact into the project's pom's dependency window, but one must copy and paste info from the found pom into the project pom. Next m2eclipse? :>) The Entity Modeler seems to have problems with the NSJarBundle Frameworks; so one must put the directory frameworks: ERPrototypes ERExtension someDBPlugin on the path in front of the NSJarBundle Frameworks that Maven uses to get functionality like SQL generation etc. to work. Maybe that will be fixed soon? :>) ( Would this disrupt EXRMigrations? ) All in all, basic Wolips project creation, etc. works but only with workarounds as things are 80% functional. That it is so close to working, is kind of frustrating. Maybe this year it will be just as easy to use as ant. One nice thing I do like is how dependencies are pulled into the local repository. It quickly builds up to be a storehouse of jars etc that you need to build your projects, and its got lots of meta info about those jars. In fact, if I need an external jar I look in ~/.m2/ repository/ ___ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

unit tests and woapplication bundles, resources, etc.
Hi,
I am having trouble with my testing of my woapp. I have parameters
that are in the Properties file, the woapp accesses them through
System.getProperty("importLogFilename");
BUT, when running with the testng environment in eclipse, all the
strings from calls like System.getProperty("importLogFilename")
come up null. I am guessing it can't find/use the Properties file.
1. For bundle loading to work properly, you need to use a custom
Working Directory for the JUnit/TestNG launcher:
${workspace_loc:MyFW/dist/MyFW.framework/Resources/Java}
Apps are similar but a different path.
${workspace_loc:nucptdb/build/nucptdb.woa/Contents/Resources/Java}
2. Again, for bundle loading, add the jars from the built
framework / application (can be in the projects in the Eclipse
workspace) to the User Entries of the classpath and move above
whatever is there. Do the same for all the frameworks that it
references.
3. The usual connection dictionary setting classes to set things up
and switch prototypes etc.
4. Sometimes I need to call primeApplication, IIRC for component
tests:
WOApplication.primeApplication("MyFW", null,
"net.foo.bar.appserver.FWApplication");
Same result if I call WOApplication.primeApplication or not.
Where FWApplication is a subclass of WOApplication. You can also
leave the last param blank and it will use WOApplication -
sometimes that works for simple stuff.
Chuck
Not a BUNDLEof joy.

Re: How to build Wonder for WebObjects 5.3 ?
Greetings, The latest Wonder source seems to be only for WebObjects 5.4.1; is there anything for Tiger (10.4x) users at 5.3.3? The page: http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WONDER/Download+Wonder +Source%2C+Build+and+Install refers to Build.txt, which states: Building Instructions = You can build Project Wonder with Ant, Maven and Eclipse. But that is only for Leopard/WO 5.4.1 I think, somebody correct me. Anything else makes lots of errors. The only way for me to use Wonder with WO 5.3.3 is the pre-compiled frameworks. Hmmm.. How does Mike S. make those? Ok, I found the icu4j.jar, and installed it, but I got a more errors, all related to NSMutableArray: (classpath ordering?) /Wonder/Common/Frameworks/ERExtensions/Sources/com/webobjects/ foundation/NSArray.java:[877,29] type com.webobjects.foundation.NSMutableArray does not take parameters But I think there is no other way for WO 5.3.3 users BUT the pre- compiled frameworks. It is difficult to support multiple versions of WebObjects, maybe Maven can help! Somebody correct me if I am wrong, now I will give up on Wonder from source, and download the pre-compiled frameworks, Thanks! Greg ps. Is changing the pom.xml to: 5.3.3 correct? is that enough for Maven? Just guessing here...

Database testing and EOF; junit testrunner environment;
I am trying to set up DBUnit test AND test EO stuff also.It seems the testrunner environment is very different than the normal environment that EOF operates under; I can't use EOF to do fetches. If I try, java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An object store for the entity "Patient" could not be found. Verify that the entity is defined in an EOModel, and that the model is installed properly. To see what models are loaded, you can try printing the return value of EOModelGroup.defaultGroup() in your application. at com.webobjects.eocontrol.EOObjectStoreCoordinator.objectsWithFetchSpecification(EOObjectStoreCoordinator.java:536) at com.webobjects.eocontrol.EOEditingContext.objectsWithFetchSpecification(EOEditingContext.java:4114)Of course the fetches work with a normal Application launch, but not in the test environment; many missing resources.I looked at WOUnitTest, but it has a WOOUTMAIN web component that calls public WOComponent saveSettings() { setSettings(); try { WOUTTestRunner.savePreferences(); } catch (java.io.IOException e) { NSLog.err.appendln("WOUT failed to save settings because " + e); } return context().page(); }now public class WOUTTestRunner extends BaseTestRunner BUT there is no WOUTTestRunner.savePreferences(); at least under junit 3.8.1So what does work for testing database/EOF?Thanks,Greg ___
