Hi all,

I was reading through the comments others made. For me two things are important:

1. How to integrate WebObjects and iOS (mobile apps): client - server 
communication without the use of Javascript frameworks on the client
2. Easy setup and deployment like the good old Apple WebObjects

Where do I fill in the survey? I missed that.

Mixing is no problem.

We mix our JQuery Framework and wonder Ajax Framework every day, in all 
projects.

Really No Problem. But you have to know how to do it.

 Speaking for my company, sometimes we are forced to use jQuery for some

 We try to do as much as possible with Ajax.framework (prototype) but some

 have a port of the prototype Ajax.framework to jQuery but that's way beyond 
 our area of expertise, I can't even say if it's feasible.

 I concur... a strong integration of WO with CoreData and Syncing, would 
 be a really nice marketing hook too. Which could translate into more 
 members!
 
 And yes, jQuery does have the momentum in the AJAX world.
 
 I see jQuery as an important option for Wonder though I am not sure if 
 its the best way to have a separate AjaxPrototype, AjaxJQuery, 
 AjaxMooTools, … framework which would make maintenance a nightmare if you 
 want to keep those feature equal. If I remember correctly long time ago 
 the idea to make some sort of Javascript API wrapper was already 
 discussed / proposed on the list to have only one single Ajax framework 
 and being able choose if you want to use prototype, jQuery or any other 
 supported JS library.
 I already played with the thought to do some test code in that direction 
 though had not enough time yet. What do you think, is that something the 
 we should realize or does the community want a complete jQuery 
 replacement of the prototype framework?
 
 I'm curious about this too, because looking at the surveys, looks like 
 most people use both jQuery and the Ajax framework:
 
 Ajax framework from Wonder 81% 
 jQuery 69% 
 
 Last year:
 
 Ajax framework from Wonder 69% 
 jQuery 47% 
 
 The survey was bit biased because it listed jQuery specifically but not moo 
 tools.
 
 This is why we have a Other option, and two organizations listed MooTools 
 in other.
 
 I'm with Johann. We should have one server-side framework that supports the 
 main JS libs, or we'll be seeing more frameworks eventually make their way 
 into the Archive attic ;-)

 Hello everyone,
 
 Based on the feedback we have so far in the surveys (if you haven't answered 
 the 2013 surveys, please do it in the next 7 days), we established a list of 
 goals for 2013:
 
 - We need a jQuery framework. According to the surveys, members of the 
 community use jQuery almost as much as the Ajax framework from Wonder. In 
 fact, I'm wondering how you use it now, in Direct Actions? Just for effects? 
 If you already have a jQuery framework that you would like to give to the 
 community, we can work it out.
 
 - Better integration between WO and iOS (and Android). ERSync is a start, and 
 I was thinking maybe we could make a tool that reads a CoreData model, 
 convert it to a EOModel and automatically build REST services for the model. 
 
 - A Project Wonder Cookbook. That book would contains, two pages max, 
 solutions to common problems and questions about Project Wonder.
 
 - Getting more people to understand and work on WOLips.
 
 - A easy-to-install development environment, that would install not only 
 WOLips and Eclipse, but also the core WO frameworks and Project Wonder.
 
 - A easy to use deployment service. Having helped many people with deployment 
 issues, it looks like deployment is still an issue. 
 
 - Redesign of wocommunity.org. 
 
 - Looking at how we can replace parts of WO with open source parts. The 
 Cayenne training day at WOWODC 2013 is the first step toward that goal.
 
 How are we going to finance this? We will change how the membership works. We 
 will have the following options:
 
 - $50 for regular membership. This $50 will be for paying recurrent charges, 
 like the hosting fees for wocommunity.org, and to pay for deposits related to 
 WOWODC. You still get early access to WOWODC recordings.
 
 - $300 for Bronze Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on 
 wocommunity.org for 6 months (on rotation with other sponsors).
 
 - $750 for Silver Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on 
 wocommunity.org for 12 months (on rotation with other sponsors) and your logo 
 on the WOWODC site.
 
 - $1500 for Gold Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on 
 wocommunity.org for 12 months (no rotation) and your logo on the WOWODC site. 
 You also get one WOWODC 2013 ticket.
 
 For bigger tasks, like the jQuery framework and the Project Wonder Cookbook, 
 we will use Kickstarter or a similar system to raise money to do it, and if 
 we don't raise enough cash, the project simply dies.

 I'm more for a WOCore.js that is totally disconnected from any existing js 
 framework (no conflicts), no animations/effects at all, just for ajax 
 request/response support (ie, get rid of prototype and made wo ajax full 
 html5 compilant), if you want effects you may plug your preferred js lib, and 
 use css effects too!

I like that idea.

 Hello everyone,
 
 Based on the feedback we have so far in the surveys (if you haven't answered 
 the 2013 surveys, please do it in the next 7 days), we established a list of 
 goals for 2013:
 
 - We need a jQuery framework. According to the surveys, members of the 
 community use jQuery almost as much as the Ajax framework from Wonder. In 
 fact, I'm wondering how you use it now, in Direct Actions? Just for effects? 
 If you already have a jQuery framework that you would like to give to the 
 community, we can work it out.
 
 I'm more for a WOCore.js that is totally disconnected from any existing js 
 framework (no conflicts), no animations/effects at all, just for ajax 
 request/response support (ie, get rid of prototype and made wo ajax full 
 html5 compilant), if you want effects you may plug your preferred js lib, and 
 use css effects too!

Let me guess, based on MontageJS?

 
 - Better integration between WO and iOS (and Android). ERSync is a start, 
 and I was thinking maybe we could make a tool that reads a CoreData model, 
 convert it to a EOModel and automatically build REST services for the model. 
 
 - A Project Wonder Cookbook. That book would contains, two pages max, 
 solutions to common problems and questions about Project Wonder.
 
 - Getting more people to understand and work on WOLips.
 
 - A easy-to-install development environment, that would install not only 
 WOLips and Eclipse, but also the core WO frameworks and Project Wonder.
 
 - A easy to use deployment service. Having helped many people with 
 deployment issues, it looks like deployment is still an issue. 
 
 - Redesign of wocommunity.org. 
 
 Started
 
 
 - Looking at how we can replace parts of WO with open source parts. The 
 Cayenne training day at WOWODC 2013 is the first step toward that goal.
 
 How are we going to finance this? We will change how the membership works. 
 We will have the following options:
 
 - $50 for regular membership. This $50 will be for paying recurrent charges, 
 like the hosting fees for wocommunity.org, and to pay for deposits related 
 to WOWODC. You still get early access to WOWODC recordings.
 
 - $300 for Bronze Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on 
 wocommunity.org for 6 months (on rotation with other sponsors).
 
 - $750 for Silver Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on 
 wocommunity.org for 12 months (on rotation with other sponsors) and your 
 logo on the WOWODC site.
 
 - $1500 for Gold Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on

Re: WOCommunity membership and goals

2013-02-07 Thread Jesse Tayler

the future is mobile.

getting a complete ERSync --- iOS app with clearly readable demonstration 
code is an essential part of the future as it relates to mobile or other 
clients.

I will certainly work with anyone to get to that point for all of us.

JQuery, and continued AJAX and modern UI for the web is also a top priority it 
seems to me, however I can't offer much help there outside of cheering for 
those who can.

 here's to a WO 2013 everybody!

I concur... a strong integration of WO with CoreData and Syncing, would be a 
really nice marketing hook too. Which could translate into more members!

And yes, jQuery does have the momentum in the AJAX world.

I see jQuery as an important option for Wonder though I am not sure if its the

I already played with the thought to do some test code in that direction though

I'm curious about this too, because looking at the surveys, looks like most

Ajax framework from Wonder  81% 
jQuery  69% 

Last year:

the Archive attic ;-)

Re: WOCommunity membership and goals

2013-02-07 Thread Matteo Centro
Speaking for my company, sometimes we are forced to use jQuery for some things. 
We try to do as much as possible with Ajax.framework (prototype) but some 
things are simply not feasible without jQuery. We generally have use the two 
mixed, which is sometimes a source for headaches. A nice thing would be to have 
a port of the prototype Ajax.framework to jQuery but that's way beyond our area 
of expertise, I can't even say if it's feasible.

 Hello everyone,
 
 Based on the feedback we have so far in the surveys (if you haven't answered 
 the 2013 surveys, please do it in the next 7 days), we established a list of 
 goals for 2013:
 
 - We need a jQuery framework. According to the surveys, members of the 
 community use jQuery almost as much as the Ajax framework from Wonder. In 
 fact, I'm wondering how you use it now, in Direct Actions? Just for effects? 
 If you already have a jQuery framework that you would like to give to the 
 community, we can work it out.


We have a couple of these already. What's missing?


 - Better integration between WO and iOS (and Android). ERSync is a start, and 
 I was thinking maybe we could make a tool that reads a CoreData model, 
 convert it to a EOModel and automatically build REST services for the model. 


I read this as Java Client for mobile.


 - A Project Wonder Cookbook. That book would contains, two pages max, 
 solutions to common problems and questions about Project Wonder.


I often observe that the biggest problem WO devs have isn't solving a problem 
with WO/Wonder. Instead, I see is WO devs reinventing wheels. Writing solutions 
for problems already covered by WO/Wonder. 

The frameworks are so big, people just don't realize what's in there and come 
up with one off solutions that aren't as robust in the end. 

Maybe we should have some WOCommunity highlights or something. A monthly Hey, 
check out this {framework | component | class}. Did you know ...? sort of 
thing. Validation is one of these things. WO offers validation. Wonder improves 
it greatly. Everyone seems to make up their own anyway.


 - Getting more people to understand and work on WOLips.


That'll be tough. Q is our lifeline right now. Without him, I don't think 
anyone would have updated WOLips for 4.2.


 - A easy-to-install development environment, that would install not only 
 WOLips and Eclipse, but also the core WO frameworks and Project Wonder.


I've given up on this happening. There's too much to do for an installer and 
its painful work without any direct benefit for the author who would need to 
provide ongoing maintenance and support.  It would need to install:

Eclipse
WOLips
eGit/git
jadclipse
WebObjects
clone and import Wonder
Set up the wolips.properties
Apache
mod_webobjects

And lots of these pieces update independently of the others. The getting 
started guide on the wiki is pretty good. It just needs to include the apache 
setup.  I had a guy showing interest in WO here at work and he gave up at 
Apache. I'm hoping he will get a second wind.

 - A easy to use deployment service. Having helped many people with deployment 
 issues, it looks like deployment is still an issue. 


The linux stuff you are working on sounds promising. I haven't had a chance to 
try them out yet, but it would be nice to be able to stay up to date on java 
monitor and wotaskd with a package manager.


 - Redesign of wocommunity.org. 


I think wocommunity.org does the job just fine as is. What are you wanting to 
redesign?


 - Looking at how we can replace parts of WO with open source parts. The 
 Cayenne training day at WOWODC 2013 is the first step toward that goal.


Keeping my comments to myself :-)


 How are we going to finance this? We will change how the membership works. We 
 will have the following options:
 
 - $50 for regular membership. This $50 will be for paying recurrent charges, 
 like the hosting fees for wocommunity.org, and to pay for deposits related to 
 WOWODC. You still get early access to WOWODC recordings.
 
 - $300 for Bronze Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on 
 wocommunity.org for 6 months (on rotation with other sponsors).
 
 - $750 for Silver Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on 
 wocommunity.org for 12 months (on rotation with other sponsors) and your logo 
 on the WOWODC site.
 
 - $1500 for Gold Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on 
 wocommunity.org for 12 months (no rotation) and your logo on the WOWODC site. 
 You also get one WOWODC 2013 ticket.


A nice flyer or something I could hand to/forward to my boss would be good 
here. We are suffering a shortage of WO devs currently, so maybe pitch it as a 
way to get more exposure with developers might help. As someone else mentioned, 
it would be even better if it were tax deductible and mentioned that 
specifically.


 
 For bigger tasks, like the jQuery framework and the Project Wonder Cookbook, 
 we will use Kickstarter or a similar system to raise money to do it, and if 
 we don't raise enough cash, the project simply dies.

Well, I guess less people bugs you about development tools and deployment than 
me :-) Yes, I do have less questions about development tools once the new wiki 
page was up, but it's still a pain for some people. But I must say that the #1 
problem is: the incremental builder vs Ant.

I still think that we need that WOLips ships as a Eclipse RCP app, just like 
most other IDEs based on Eclipse.

 - A easy to use deployment service. Having helped many people with 
 deployment issues, it looks like deployment is still an issue. 
 
 
 The linux stuff you are working on sounds promising. I haven't had a chance

integrated in a workflow like ARD or other tools.

 - Redesign of wocommunity.org. 
 
 
 I think wocommunity.org does the job just fine as is. What are you wanting to

It's so 2008. I see lots of comments on Twitter about how WO is outdated, etc.,

Hi,

re: JQuery.  I'm pretty bummed I worked on the MooTools framework instead of a 
JQuery one.  Obviously, much more people are interested in JQuery.  I keep 
thinking I'm going to start one but I've sort of made up my mind to limp 
through 2013 using MooTools and then switch over to something like EmberJS in 
2014.  If you haven't looked at EmberJS it is a lot like WO in that you define 
a model and then it handles the database updates (through a REST interface).  
One thing I would like to see is that we start using the template design 
pattern for the Ajax framework.  A lot of the components don't need to be 
totally rewritten - you just need to override appendToResponse to format the 
HTML the right way for the JS framework.  But you can't subclass the original 
component because it calls super in appendToResponse.  So if appendToResponse 
called a method like fooBar and then when you subclass the component all you 
need to do is override fooBar and you don't have to work about the other 
methods like invokeAction/handleRequest etc...  I basically ended up doing a 
bunch of copying and pasting but if something got improved in the original 
there is no guarantee it made it's way into the MooTools version.

re: IDE - I wonder how much it would cost to get JetBrains or a JetBrain's 
plugin developer to create a WebObjects plugin?  Having used their JavaScript 
editor it's become pretty obvious to me that they make a much better product.

my 2 cents,

Johnny

  - We need a jQuery framework. According to the surveys, members of the

 That's the good question. Lot of people using jQuery, but I don't see any
framework beside ERJQueryMobile.

 
  - Better integration between WO and iOS (and Android). ERSync is a
start, and I was thinking maybe we could make a tool that reads a CoreData
model, convert it to a EOModel and automatically build REST services for
the model.
 
 
  I read this as Java Client for mobile.

 I don't think you like this idea :-P

 
 
  - A Project Wonder Cookbook. That book would contains, two pages
max, solutions to common problems and questions about Project Wonder.
 
 
  I often observe that the biggest problem WO devs have isn't solving a
problem with WO/Wonder. Instead, I see is WO devs reinventing wheels.
Writing solutions for problems already covered by WO/Wonder.
 
  The frameworks are so big, people just don't realize what's in there
and come up with one off solutions that aren't as robust in the end.
 
  Maybe we should have some WOCommunity highlights or something. A
monthly Hey, check out this {framework | component | class}. Did you know
...? sort of thing. Validation is one of these things. WO offers
validation. Wonder improves it greatly. Everyone seems to make up their own
anyway.

 +100.

 
  - Getting more people to understand and work on WOLips.
 
 
  That'll be tough. Q is our lifeline right now. Without him, I don't
think anyone would have updated WOLips for 4.2.
 
 
  - A easy-to-install development environment, that would install not
only WOLips and Eclipse, but also the core WO frameworks and Project Wonder.
 
 
  I've given up on this happening. There's too much to do for an
installer and its painful work without any direct benefit for the author
who would need to provide ongoing maintenance and support.  It would need
to install:
 
  Eclipse
  WOLips
  eGit/git
  jadclipse
  WebObjects
  clone and import Wonder
  Set up the wolips.properties
  Apache
  mod_webobjects
 
  And lots of these pieces update independently of the others. The
getting started guide on the wiki is pretty good. It just needs to include
the apache setup.  I had a guy showing interest in WO here at work and he
gave up at Apache. I'm hoping he will get a second wind.

 Well, I guess less people bugs you about development tools and deployment
than me :-) Yes, I do have less questions about development tools once the
new wiki page was up, but it's still a pain for some people. But I must say
that the #1 problem is: the incremental builder vs Ant.

 I still think that we need that WOLips ships as a Eclipse RCP app, just
like most other IDEs based on Eclipse.

  - A easy to use deployment service. Having helped many people with
deployment issues, it looks like deployment is still an issue.
 
 
  The linux stuff you are working on sounds promising. I haven't had a
chance to try them out yet, but it would be nice to be able to stay up to
date on java monitor and wotaskd with a package manager.

integrated in a workflow like ARD or other tools.

Are people out there developing on Debian/Ubuntu?

  - Redesign of wocommunity.org.
 
 
  I think wocommunity.org does the job just fine as is. What are you
wanting to redesign?

 It's so 2008. I see lots of comments on Twitter about how WO is outdated,

works. We will have the following options:
 
  - $50 for regular membership. This $50 will be for paying recurrent
charges, like the hosting fees for wocommunity.org, and to pay for deposits
related to WOWODC. You still get early access to WOWODC recordings.

My Ajax experience begins and ends with AjaxFramework and MooToolsFramework. 
JQuery seems to be the flavor of the day though and I am interested in pursuing 
it. I'm intrigued by Johann's suggestion.

This is a great idea. At this point I often find myself replacement prior 
constructs of my own with better implementations in Wonder. It would also be 
great if devs who are rolling redundant stuff in-house could find themselves 
using Wonder instead and even using those hours to improve it where needed. The 
highlights thing could promote that.

I agree with Ramsey that this is a ball of wax. Although, in my own experience, 
a big chunk of this gets addressed with Golipse. I use it every time with great 
success for installing the toolchain. WO - I use woinstaller.jar. Works great. 
With Apache - we deal in web-based apps. You kinda gotta know how to configure 
it. If we keep Golipse updated, that could be a big help.

I didn't know that about Dojo.  I believe Ember is built with JQuery. 

It seems like ERRest is the future for WO.

 Hi,
 
 re: JQuery.  I'm pretty bummed I worked on the MooTools framework instead of 
 a JQuery one.  Obviously, much more people are interested in JQuery.  I keep 
 thinking I'm going to start one but I've sort of made up my mind to limp 
 through 2013 using MooTools and then switch over to something like EmberJS 
 in 2014.  If you haven't looked at EmberJS it is a lot like WO in that you 
 define a model and then it handles the database updates (through a REST 
 interface).  
 
 Dojo has that too, and it doesn't look like that jQuery have that, or at 
 least it's not as easy as Dojo or EmberJS.
 
 We will have a ERRest lab at WOWODC and I think we should try to connect many 
 client-side JS, iOS and Android frameworks with ERRest to see if we can 
 improve ERRest to support a lot of REST clients.
 
 One thing I would like to see is that we start using the template design 
 pattern for the Ajax framework.  A lot of the components don't need to be 
 totally rewritten - you just need to override appendToResponse to format the 
 HTML the right way for the JS framework.  But you can't subclass the 
 original component because it calls super in appendToResponse.  So if 
 appendToResponse called a method like fooBar and then when you subclass the 
 component all you need to do is override fooBar and you don't have to work 
 about the other methods like invokeAction/handleRequest etc...  I basically 
 ended up doing a bunch of copying and pasting but if something got improved 
 in the original there is no guarantee it made it's way into the MooTools 
 version.

It's just that CentOS have old stuff on it, it's not cutting edge. In fact, 
that's why I love it for deployment, because it's not full of new stuff that 
might not be stable and the RedHat people really make sure stuff works.

 +1. And the OS X
 development package should be a .pkg so that it can be
 integrated in a workflow like ARD or other tools.
 
 Are people out there developing on Debian/Ubuntu?
 
 I see some people in the survey who develop on Linux, but I
 didn't ask on which distribution (I assume either Fedora or
 Ubuntu, I don't think people would use CentOS for
 development).

 I didn't know that about Dojo.  I believe Ember is built with JQuery. 

EmberJS is SproutCore 2.0.

 It seems like ERRest is the future for WO. 

It's part of the future. But if you need only REST services, you could use 
Node.js, Cayenne with RestEasy, etc. It's ERRest + D2W that is the killing 
stuff.

 Hi,
 
 re: JQuery.  I'm pretty bummed I worked on the MooTools framework instead 
 of a JQuery one.  Obviously, much more people are interested in JQuery.  I 
 keep thinking I'm going to start one but I've sort of made up my mind to 
 limp through 2013 using MooTools and then switch over to something like 
 EmberJS in 2014.  If you haven't looked at EmberJS it is a lot like WO in 
 that you define a model and then it handles the database updates (through a 
 REST interface).  
 
 Dojo has that too, and it doesn't look like that jQuery have that, or at 
 least it's not as easy as Dojo or EmberJS.
 
 We will have a ERRest lab at WOWODC and I think we should try to connect 
 many client-side JS, iOS and Android frameworks with ERRest to see if we can 
 improve ERRest to support a lot of REST clients.
 
 One thing I would like to see is that we start using the template design 
 pattern for the Ajax framework.  A lot of the components don't need to be 
 totally rewritten - you just need to override appendToResponse to format 
 the HTML the right way for the JS framework.  But you can't subclass the 
 original component because it calls super in appendToResponse.  So if 
 appendToResponse called a method like fooBar and then when you subclass the 
 component all you need to do is override fooBar and you don't have to work 
 about the other methods like invokeAction/handleRequest etc...  I basically 
 ended up doing a bunch of copying and pasting but if something got improved 
 in the original there is no guarantee it made it's way into the MooTools 
 version.
 
 re: IDE - I wonder how much it would cost to get JetBrains or a JetBrain's 
 plugin developer to create a WebObjects plugin?  Having used their 
 JavaScript editor it's become pretty obvious to me that they make a much 
 better product.
 
 my 2 cents,
 
 Johnny
 
 
 - We need a jQuery framework. According to the surveys, members of the 
 community use jQuery almost as much as the Ajax framework from Wonder. In 
 fact, I'm wondering how you use it now, in Direct Actions? Just for 
 effects? If you already have a jQuery framework that you would like to 
 give to the community, we can work it out.
 
 - Better integration between WO and iOS (and Android). ERSync is a start, 
 and I was thinking maybe we could make a tool that reads a CoreData model, 
 convert it to a EOModel and automatically build REST services for the 
 model. 
 
 - A Project Wonder Cookbook. That book would contains, two pages max, 
 solutions to common problems and questions about Project Wonder.
 
 - Getting more people to understand and work on WOLips.
 
 - A easy-to-install development environment, that would install not only 
 WOLips and Eclipse, but also the core WO frameworks and Project Wonder.
 
 - A easy to use deployment service. Having helped many people with 
 deployment issues, it looks like deployment is still an issue. 
 
 - Redesign of wocommunity.org. 
 
 - Looking at how we can replace parts of WO with open source parts. The 
 Cayenne training day at WOWODC 2013 is the first step toward that goal.
 
 How are we going to finance this? We will change how the membership works. 
 We will have the following options:
 
 - $50 for regular membership. This $50 will be for paying recurrent 
 charges, like the hosting fees for wocommunity.org, and to pay for 
 deposits related to WOWODC. You still get early access to WOWODC 
 recordings.
 
 - $300 for Bronze Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on 
 wocommunity.org for 6 months (on rotation with other sponsors).
 
 - $750 for Silver Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on 
 wocommunity.org for 12 months (on rotation with other sponsors) and your 
 logo on the WOWODC site.
 
 - $1500 for Gold Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on 
 wocommunity.org for 12 months (no rotation) and your logo on the WOWODC

 Anjo put me onto this one, it looks pretty interesting: http://angularjs.org/

I've checked that one out too.  It seems really easy to use.  I'm kind of torn 
between which of the ones that makes the most sense for me.  I'm planning on 
doing a wiki article on how to do the TODOS app with WO as a backend for both

 The Component Editor and Entity Modeler might be a lot of work!

They do have Tapesty support built into the IDE.  Which makes me think that 
they already would have a good idea on how to do it.
