Webobjects WoLips Wonder Tutorial Questions

2008-10-13 Thread Shaun Higgins
I have been following the tutorial "WO_WOLips_Wonder_Tutorial_Part_1". The
tutorial is wonderful and answers a lot of questions I had about setting up
a project using wolips. I am running into a few problems with this tutorial

1. For some reason migrations is not creating the table. I can create the
table using the generate SQL button however, Migrations does not create the
table. (I am using a separate MySQL sever).
2. When Webobjects generates the .java and _ .java it places them into
Sources/(default package) rather than com.login.model. How do I set where
the generated java files are placed?
3. When I run the program and type in a valid username / password using the
fetchRequiredUser function I get a classCastException on _fetchUser in
_User. Could this be cause from me creating  a com.login.model package and
moving the contents of the default package into this folder?
*After I refreshed _User.java User.java reappear in the default package and
now I have duplicates.

Thank You,

Halo

SQL Server 2005 Support Request 2

2008-09-30 Thread Shaun Higgins
I am having problems connecting Entity Modeler to SQL Server 2005 DB. I am
using webobjects v5.4.3
First of all I found the last two articles on this subject extremely
helpful. Each article got me closer to connecting to the database. I had the
same problem as displayed in "RE: Microsoft SQL support"
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Webobjects-dev/2007/May/msg00354.html. This
corrected my Driver not found in Java Runtime error.



However, the error that I now get is: Failed to Generate SQL. No suitable
driver.


I have tried placing Microsoft the 2005 JDBC Driver (sqljdbc.jar) in
Library/Java/Extensions. Used all the versions I could find 1, 1.1, 1.2 and
2.0. All with the same result

Wonder AJAX Fileupload problem.

2008-04-09 Thread shaun

Hi,

I'm having trouble using the AJAX FileUpload component from Wonder.
http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wonder/Wonder-latest-Frameworks-53.tar.gz
FWIW this is the first time i tried to use any Wonder AJAX components.

Basically I have used the example code that comes with wonder and have
used that in my test project but when i hit the page containing the
fileupload the page just re-renders the fileupload component over and
over again until the 'done' alert is displayed.

Any idea why this would happen?

Regards,
 shaun

Re: String Qualifier for Number

Hi All -

My users want to have the ability to search on a
Number attribute, but use String qualifiers such as
Contains ('*value*'), Begins With ('value*'), Ends
With ('*value').

I have a table named part that contains a primaryKey
named part_id (Number and exposed) and a String called
descriptor.

Is there a way to create an EOQualifier that
replicates the SQL in the example below?

Example: Select all parts with a part_id that begins
with 3.
select * from part where to_char(part_id) like '3%';



Maybe...

Add a new attribute called partIDAsString
Set the column to part_id
Set the datatype as string
Mark it as read only
Set the read format to to_char(%P)

Then make a qualifier on partIDAsString.



Interesting approach. I hope it works.

The other day I was trying to do exactly the same thing as descibed by 
Carter.


I used the Wonder RegExQualifier class as a base for my own EOQualifier 
implementation and created the sql as required calling to_char(id)
it was all going well up until it actually had to do the fetch, thats 
when JDBCColumn in the JDBCAdaptor classes got in the way and spoiled 
the fun; it checks that the object type provided matches the models type 
 but '%1001%' is NAN so it throws an Exception. I'm not sure if there 
is somethign i can do to get around this or not?


At that stage i figured i needed to try something else. Your idea above 
is next in line.


Thanks.

We have a situation where we Single Sign On with a 3rd party system. When the

of TimerTask's firing every X minutes. The idea is that if we detect that the

user off our session. Essentially, logging the user out of our system.


In this case, we need access to our WOSession in order to log the user out.


How about something along the lines of:

Every n minutes check the 3rd party system for session validity
  if 3rd party session is invalid then
 put sessionId in application.sessionsToTerminate.
  end if

When WOApp session.awake is invoked
 if sessionId is in application.sessionsToTerminate
session.terminate
application.sessionsToTerminate.remove(sessionId)

Re: SQL Query Generation

2007-08-11 Thread shaun

Michael Xenakis wrote:

All -

I'm trying to solve a lil' problem here.  The semi-short story is  that 
prior to doing a fetch, I'm going to do a raw SQL fetch to  determine 
how many rows would be returned - i.e., I'll do a "select  count(*)" 
based on the search parameters.  If the count is greater  than a 
predetermined fetch limit, then I respond w/ a message to  further 
restrict the query.


To do this, I build my qualifiers as usual create a fetch spec based  on 
the qualifiers and then pass them into a JDBCExpression.  The code  
looks like this:


EOFetchSpecification fetchSpec = new EOFetchSpecification 
(entityName, searchQualifier, null);


JDBCExpression sqlExpression = new JDBCExpression(entity);
sqlExpression.prepareSelectExpressionWithAttributes 
(entity.attributes(), false, fetchSpec);


String rawSQLQuery = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM " +  
entity.externalName() + " WHERE " + sqlExpression.whereClauseString();

if (!sqlExpression.joinClauseString().equals("")) {
rawSQLQuery = rawSQLQuery + " AND " +  
sqlExpression.joinClauseString();

}

Unfortunately, the where clause being generated by .whereClauseString () 
is parameterized, e.g.,
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PLAYLIST t0, CONTENT_PROVIDER T1 WHERE  
(((t0.FIRST_PRODUCTION_RELEASE is not ? AND  t0.LAST_PRODUCTION_RELEASE 
is ?) AND T1.CONTENT_PROVIDER_ID = ?) AND  UPPER(t0.NAME) LIKE UPPER(?) 
ESCAPE '\')


What I can't seem to figure is how to get the string returned w/ the  
parameters replaced w/ the actual bound values.


So, first, am I heading down the right path or is there a better way?

If I am headed in the right direction, what am I missing?



You can use EOSQLExpression and bindVariables to substitute the keys and 
values.  Something along the lines of the follwoing:


Note: there are numerous problems with this code as it stands,

. BigDecimal formatting might not be right anymore Java 5 changes need 
to call method other than toString(), should be toPlainString()? I think.


. Date formatting, Oracle specific?


EOSQLExpression expression.../ assume it exists.

 String sql = expression.statement();
  NSArray bindVariables = expression.bindVariableDictionaries();
if( (bindVariables == null) || 
(bindVariables.count()==0) ) return true;



for(int i=0; iNSDictionary bindVariable = (NSDictionary) 
bindVariables.objectAtIndex(i);
String name = (String) 
bindVariable.valueForKey("BindVariableName");
Object value = 
bindVariable.valueForKey("BindVariableValue");
EOAttribute attribute = (EOAttribute) 
bindVariable.valueForKey("BindVariableAttribute");



//TODO check for data type.

String formattedValue = "";

if( value == null )
formattedValue = "NULL";
else if( attribute.externalType().equals("DATE") )
formattedValue = 
"TO_DATE('"+DateUtils.toStringUsingFormatter((NSTimestamp)value,"%Y-%m-%d 
%H:%M:%S")+"','-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')";


else if( attribute.externalType().equals("NUMBER") )
formattedValue = value.toString();

else formattedValue = "'"+value.toString()+"'";

sql = StringUtils.replaceStringFirstMatch(sql, "?", 
formattedValue);

}

Re: Flex integration with WO

2007-08-09 Thread shaun

Hi,

I have been using flex with WO for about 8-10 months now, building a new 
UI for new section of an existing app at the moment. Basically, the 
approach I have taken is using flex HTTPService calls to direct actions 
that return XML.
The direct actions generate XML using some custom xml generation classes 
that make use of key value coding to inspect EOEntities, EOAttributes 
etc. but i digress...


Having the result format set to "array" in Flex makes building a object 
graph on the client-side pretty painless. I've also built a EOGenerator 
style script to generate Actionscript classes for the client side based 
on EOModel attributes, which makes things a bit easier.


I wanted to look into make LiveCycle Data services work with WO but its 
not supported on OSX at the moment and there have been way too many cool 
new things to get stuck into with Flex2/3 and AIR(beta) to bother, and 
they approach I've used so far works great.


I dont think I'll bother building anymore WO UI's from now on. The flex 
stuff is WAY too nice. For me, WOComponent & WODynamicElements died 
(RIP) about 8 or 9 months ago..


IMO flex is the future of rich UI web applications. AJAX, HTML, no thanks.

Pascal Robert wrote:
I'm looking at Flex 2 right now, and I was wondering if any of you is

  Depending on what the user does, that object may be deleted again

  The problem is that after deleting it, apparently it's still  showing

Are you calling removeObjectFromBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey before

Re: Display Correct Date and Time from Oracle DB

Hi,

Hi All -

I have reversed engineered my model from an Oracle 10g

Here is the information from the models plist:

valueClassName = NSTimestamp; 
valueType = D; 


The columns are of type DATE in the database.

I am able to get the day, month, year to display
correctly using the supplied dateformat attribute in

portion, midnight (00:00 or 12:00 AM) is displayed
even though there is an actual time in the database.

Thanks for any help/pointers.

Have a quick read of this document regarding oracle dates and times. You 
might need the following to get the correct behaviour when updating 
DATE(date & time) attributes using EOF as well as setting the valueType = T.


java -Doracle.jdbc.V8Compatibility="true" MyApp

http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_faq.htm#08_01

I have been using oracle 10g in a dev environment for about 6 months or 
so with data imported from an oracle 8i database.


I found that I needed to use the V8Compatibility arg above and to make 
sure that valueType = T was set for NSTimestamps which mapped to oracle 
DATE attributes containing date & time information otherwise updates failed.


You might want to ensure you have the correct drivers aswell.

There is also a WOKeyValueConditional component in the woextensions library.

Is there way to use EOF locking to lock on the database? It seems to  me

You might want to put a DB constraint on the column if you haven't 
already. You could then catch the constraint violation exception and 
take appropriate action.


I use a custom database function to do this type of thing. I use raw 
rows sql to select the next value from the function, then stuff the

Is it the intention of Apple that eclipse will be the only viable

No, I dont think that is the intention. Also, Mike Schrag's entity 
modeller is currently an eclipse plugin but he said that it wouldnt be 
hard to make it run standalone.




I was not aware that Xcode ever was a viable platform for WO  
development.  Grin.


I expect that Xcode will always be able to build WO apps.  But once  the 
other tools go away, you would need to use Eclipse and WOLips to  edit 
models, components, etc.  Well, that or emacs.




That might have been a joke, but using a decent text editor to manage 
model files is a lot easier than you may think.


It's also very easy to write scripts using something like perl, to 
create, update or copy these files or do things like list relationships, 
attributes, whatever you like. You can do a tonne of things with this 
approach, for example, list all attributes that have a varchar2 STATUS 
attribute with length = 1, across all models in an app and all its 
frameworks.


It even easier now than it used to be because the eomodel bundle specs 
are available. Not using a GUI to build eomodels is actually quite 
liberating. As is command line build, package, bundle, deploy. For 
example, I use a single command to clean, build, package, scp, and 
deploy to a local dev server, its a beautiful thing..  :)


YMMV.

What is the oracle data type for the SUBMIT_DATE attribute?



Hi Shaun,


SQL> desc IDEA

AVGRATING  FLOAT(126)
CATEGORY_OID  NOT NULL NUMBER
IDEADESC  NOT NULL VARCHAR2(4000)
IDEANAME  NOT NULL VARCHAR2(255)
IDEA_OID  NOT NULL NUMBER
IDEAURLVARCHAR2(255)
NUMRATINGS NUMBER
PARENT_OID NUMBER
STATUSNOT NULL VARCHAR2(1)
SUBMIT_DATE   NOT NULL DATE
USER_OID  NOT NULL NUMBER

In my EO Model

submitDate maps to SUBMIT_DATE with
External Type of DATE
Value Class (Java) of NSTimestamp
Value (not sure what this might affect) of D



I have this in my notes regarding value type:
--
For attributes with a Value Class of NSTimestamp the following value 
types are defined:


D
t
T
M

These value types affect how the data is transfer between the JDBC 
adaptor and the database. An empty Value Type uses get/setObject() on 
the ResultSet and PreparedStatement. It assumes the database can provide 
a value compatible with a java.sql.Timestamp. A 'D' indicates 
WebObject's JDBC adaptor should use get/setDate. A 't' indicates 
get/setTime(), and a 'T' uses get/setTimestamp(). The 'M' value type is 
a workaround for a bug in some MS SQLServer JDBC drivers. It only 
support java.sql.Date.

--

I thought that I used T usually, but looking at some of my models I have 
nothing set for a lot of the oracle DATE fields. The info above 
indicates that if you only want the date portion then use a D, if you 
want Date and time ie) a timestamp then use T.


Also, I'm using NSCalendarDate not NSTimestamp for valueClassName in my 
eomodels. Using NSTimestamp in the classes. I have a much older version 
of Oracle and WO5.3. FWIW most of my eomodels are also quite old now.

Sometimes when you have a lot of overridden methods code can become a 
bit harder to grok at a glance.
When a developer knows where to look for defaults(awakeFromInsertion) i 
think that it makes life a lot easier, rather than skimming through a 
bunch of long method names to see a default value or to understand which 
values need/should have defaults and what those defaults can be.


FWIW. I also like to use the factory method pattern for constructing 
WOComponents too. YMMV. It seems that  quite often something which makes 
sense to one person doesnt work so well for another, just something to 
consider I guess..

In Order, I've defined a flattened relationship deliveryDefects. It
works fine for deliveryDefects that exist when the order is fetched
from the DB. However, it fails to include a deliveryDefect that is
created and then saved to the DB. Is this a known limitation of
flattened relationships?



Is this behaviour to be expected? Is this documented anywhere? I  
couldn't find an awful lot of documentation on flattened  relationships 
anyway.




Yes its expected, at least, I would expect it. When I did the WOII 
course in 2001 I think it was mentioned as a reason to not use flattened 
relationships, amoung other more obvious reasons. I have not seen any 
documentation about it though that I can remember. Perhaps searching the 
omnigroup list archive would give you more info.

I'd like to know how one would do this, as that bit is all template

You could create a shell script that echoes "Darwin", call it uname and

Re: Mysterious EditingContext Swap

Hi Owen,


I have seen this error before but I am only guessing as to the cause of 
it in your case.


It seems that all the objects  are in the correct context so printing 
ec.insertedObjects is probably not going to help.


From the code and comments you have made in the email, it seems that 
the active context is getting set somehow.
The only way that I know to make the active context is to use it in a 
fetch or possibly a relationship traversal from an object in a different 
context.


I would try removing the PersonLDAP section of code, it could be the 
LDAP fetch that is the cause of the error.

Are you sure it is creating a new instance of the same component? I

Hi Miguel,

Miguel Arroz wrote:

Hi!

  I'm having a bizarre problem relating to bindings, and I honestly  
cannot understand why the heck this is happening. I can solve it  easily 
- or should I way, build a work-around - but I impose myself  higher 
levels of quality! ;)


  Ok, here's the story:

  1) I'm building an WO application that should work in two languages.

  2) I have a WrapperComponent that wraps all the other components.  
That wrapper component contains a repetition in the HEAD html code to  
load JavaScript files. The repetition contains the path of the files  to 
be read (array of strings). That array (let's call it listOfFiles)  is 
on the WrapperComponent API.


  3) WrapperComponent has another component inside,  
NavigationComponent. That component has a form and a pop-up that  allows 
the user to select the language. The pop-up auto-submits when  changed. 
Basically, the code changes the session language array, and  returns 
"return pageWithName(context().page().name());"


  4) I have a component, for the example, let's use the Main  component. 
The Main component contains a WrapperComponent, with some  stuff inside. 
On the Java code, I have a method "public NSArray  scriptFiles()" that 
returns an array with the file paths. There's no  instance variable or 
setter, naturally.


  5) I have another component, let's call it "SimpleComponent", that  
contains a WrapperComponent, but no scriptFiles array (and no  binding). 
WrapperComponent is smart enough to handle this OK.


  Ok. Now imagine we are seeing Main component. Click on a link that  
shows SimpleComponent. SimpleComponent appears OK. Now change the  
language while SampleComponent is on the browser. A new instance of  
SimpleComponent appears in the chosen language. Now, click on a link  
that returns to Main component. So far, so good. This tells me that  we 
can enter and leave the Main component with no problems.


  The problem happens on Main component, and any other one that has  the 
"listOfFiles" wrapperComponent binding binded to a component key.  When 
I change the language, I get this:


  com.webobjects.foundation.NSKeyValueCoding$UnknownKeyException: [;  
0.17 = ; } >; } >; 0.23 = ; 0.23.2.1.3 = ; 0.23.2.1.5 = ; 0.23.2.1.7  = 
; } >; } >; } >; 0.29.1.1 = ; } > takeValueForKey()]: attempt to  assign 
value to unknown key: 'scriptFiles'. This WOComponent does not  have an 
instance variable of the name scriptFiles or _scriptFiles,  nor a method 
of the name setScriptFiles or _setScriptFiles


  OK... for some reason, WO tries to set the scriptVars key. My  
question is WHY!? There's absolutely no reason that I can see that  
forces WO to do this. This apparently only happens when leaving a  
component and entering another instance of that component class. But  why!?


  Of course, the work-around is easy, ant it works: just putting a  
setScriptFiles method that does nothing is enough of a hack to make  
this work. But that's not good enough. Why does this happen? Any tips?


In a nutshell, synchronizesVariablesWithBindings returns true, so your 
parent and child components synchronize there variables and bindings. :)


Make your nested component non-synchronizing by overriding the method 
synchronizesVariablesWithBindings and return false. Then implement the 
valueForBinding method as you need to pull the binding values into the 
nested component.

Optimistic locking failure perhaps. ie, One client trying to modify a 
row that has been deleted or modified by another client. The more 
clients accessing making modifications at the same time the more likely 
this is to occur. Check which attributes are used for locking on the 
entity that this occurs on to see if its likely being modified by more 
than one client. I assume you are able to pin-point the entity or the 
component at least. Catching this exception, then getting the user to 
handle the modification somehow is probably the solution you should 
consider rather than unchecking attributes used for locking.

Oracle and we haven't been back an applied indexing yet : )



That would cause problems.  :-)


or lots of single row queries due to a lack of batch faulting and  
pre-fetching in the application.



I have fiddled with it today. At the beginning of the day it looked  
like (Note this a request for a page that  loads a displaygroup to  
display every publication I have in the DB and the stats before are  
for the first time it is accessed for the app ) :


09:45:42,150 DEBUG [WorkerThread0] (PublicationsList:48   ) -  
Publication Constructor
09:45:43,188 DEBUG [WorkerThread0] (PublicationsList:149   
updatePublicationListing) - Update Pubs
09:45:45,001 DEBUG [WorkerThread0] (PublicationsList:208   
updatePublicationListing) - End Update Pubs.762 total Pubs
09:45:48,257   OFF [WorkerThread0] (Log.NSLogOut:1546 appendln) -  Now 
asleep


After my tweaks ( the biggest time saver here was changing to use  
EOSharedEditingContext, as its a read only ap ) :


13:32:53,295 DEBUG [WorkerThread0] (PublicationsList:48   ) -  
Publication Constructor
13:32:54,174 DEBUG [WorkerThread0] (PublicationsList:143   
updatePublicationListing) - Update Pubs for Faculty of Education
13:32:54,920 DEBUG [WorkerThread0] (PublicationsList:196   
updatePublicationListing) - End Update Pubs.762 total Pubs
13:32:58,467   OFF [WorkerThread0] (Log.NSLogOut:1546 appendln) -  Now 
asleep


So between the constructor ( line 1 ) and the time the Pubs have  been 
loaded (line 3) went from 2.8 seconds to 1.6 ( and will  hopefully get 
faster once I index **Hits self in the head again**)
But the biggest time is between the end of the  
updatePublicationsList() and sleep(). I need to do some further  
testing to see if Im grabbing more objects from the DB ( as you  said 
"lots of single row queries.") or its because of the actual  page 
itself. The site has a quotation style engine in it which  basically 
on the fly changes the way in which a publication is  displayed. This 
is what suspect is chewing up time. The other  reason I think this may 
be the case is the time between line 3 and  line 4 doesn't change when 
I come back to the page i.e. the EO's  should be in memory, but the 
time to "render" the page seems to be  the same.



I think you have reached the correct conclusion there.



Are you a Project Wonder user?



Nope, always wonder, never plunged. It may be my pet project while  Im

This is just my opinion and it may not be "correct" as far as some of
the more experienced developers will say. So take this however you like.
Ignore it completely if it doesn't sit well with you. Or shoot it down
if you would prefer. :)

Personally I think this is being way too anal about MVC for no really
good reason(that I can see anyway). I think its probably a mistake to
take a hard line and say that WOComponent subclasses are only the
controller.  IMO it's valid to say that a WOComponent is, or can be
View. After all, a WOComponent+wod+html together are responsible for
generating the view - look at the api of WOComponent and you will see
this is the case. eg) appendToResponse. on the other hand WOComponent is
also controller thanks to pageWithName.

I think that stateless components also provide a good argument to say
that WOComponent should not be relegated to Controller only. I mean,
they don't have to do anything but view. Not to mention you can create
WOComponents that have no HTML at all and generate the entire response
in code. Probably not the best idea but it is possible regardless.

I think the really important point in WO is to always ensure that
WOComponent subclasses are never Model(bussines logic) in MVC. You will
be very pissed off when you have to move logic from a WOComponent to
reuse elsewhere. Copying the logic is not acceptable. Putting the logic
in a superclass is not really acceptable unless it passes the is-a
test. 
>From experience, I can say it totally sucks when you have logic in one
component that you want to invoke but you don't want to call
pageWithName as it screws with the context(the context returned from
context() method of WOComponent that is).

In the past I have had trouble figuring out if WOComponent is C or V in
MVC. I now think it can be either or both. EG) some WOComponents can be
built as View components only while others can be more of a Controller
type of component and some are a mixture.

AFAIK The whole point of MVC is reuse and clean separation to support
reuse. How taking the class name for a css style out of the WOComponent
will allow for a more reuse I don't see. If you are building a nested
reusable component you simply provide a binding for the class name and
the parent component or some other object supplies the class name at
runtime or you can just stick it in the wod if you know it wont change.

Sure, but this would meet your MVC requirement. Although it does have

I don't think its a limitation of WO but rather one of the strict(and
possibly misguided) approach taken as far as MVC is concerned.
You have already listed an alternate option above. You will just end up
with a mess in your WOComponent of nested conditionals. IMO its much
better to relax your rules about MVC and put the class name in the
component; after all you have stated that the logic will be there!
If you want to change the style change the css - no big deal right?

However there is another option that I can think of, and that is set the
styles using Javascript.

Your script might look like:

//This would be an integer returned by the class logic or a string or 
// whatever identifier you want to use.
var classToUse = ''

//invoke this somewhere to set the class.
function setClass(){
 var class = (classToUse == 1) ? "open" : "closed"; 
 document.getElementById("myList").class=class; //what

Or, use composition rather than sticking all the functional code inside
the direct action method or class. eg)
 
public WOActionResults myAction(){
   String a,b,c;
   a = formValueForKey("a");
   b = formValueForKey("b");
   c = formValueForKey("c");   

   LogicObject lo = LogicObject.newInstance(a,b,c);
   lo.myAction();

   CustomPage p = (CustomPate) lo.ok() ? 
  pageWithName("CustomPageOK") :
  pageWithName("CustomPageNotOk");
   p.setLogicObject(lo);

   return (WOActionResults)p;
}

Now you simply test the LogicObject's functionality not the DA.

I just thought I'd point out that if your using Java 5.0 that you can do
the following:

Boolean b = new Boolean(true);

if (b){
 // its true
}else{
 // its false
}
