Re: webobjects with maven

[Hugi Thordarson]

Indeed, it’s quite horrid. Sorry about not already having added the workaround 
to the wiki, I’ve been planning to document my WO/Maven migration for a while.

Okay

It works. It sure does look like a top secret.

Who would have thought.

Thank you very much.

Re: webobjects with maven

[Hugi Thordarson]

You probably need to open the Eclipse .project-file in your project and add:

org.maven.ide.eclipse.maven2Nature

…as a project nature (inside the “natures"-tag).

WebObjects uses this identifier to determine if the project is a Maven project, 
if it isn’t present it will think the bundle is FluffyBunny and looks for 
resources in wrong places.

The nature identifier was changed in Eclipse a while back (to 
“org.eclipse.m2e.core.maven2Nature”, which you’ll see listed in your natures) 
but unfortunately the old name is defined in ERFoundarion.jar, a top secret,

Yes, it is failing. I did use the maven archetype for erxapplication. 
The woapplication archetype is working fine.

An internal error occurred during: "Launching New_configuration".

So I was wondering whether there are people out there who use maven but can 
still run the application like a regular WOApp?
After going through almost all JVM Webframeworks, I believe strongly that a 
framework that does not have a main class that one can run and that starts fast 
is not worth using. Thats one of the main reason I will use WebObjects for my 
next project.

I  really appreciate any help.

 Is that failing?  Or is it when you are trying to update an old WO app to

Re: webobjects with maven

I thought I had solved this problem but it turns out that I haven't. I 
have been developing with WOApplication and everything is working fine. 
When I switch to ERXApplication, then I get this error that I already 
showed here:


/ No template

returns a blank page. While debugging, It seems that the 
*/_componentDefinitionCache.objectForKey(componentKey)/* returns a

An internal error occurred during: "Launching New_configuration".
java.lang.NullPointerException

So I was wondering whether there are people out there who use maven but can 
still run the application like a regular WOApp?
After going through almost all JVM Webframeworks, I believe strongly that a 
framework that does not have a main class that one can run and that starts fast 
is not worth using. Thats one of the main reason I will use WebObjects for my 
next project.

I  really appreciate any help.

Turns out, I was using an old archetype catalog (from the wiki). The one 
you just posted with the latest snapshots at WORemote works fine. I am 
very excited to be back with WebObjects.

Thank you very much indeed.

Re: webobjects with maven

[Chuck Hill]

That means it is picking up the wrong Main class, a class in a different 
package.  What is your default request handler?  You can either give it a fully 
qualified name in DirectAction.defaultAction() or (from memory) pageWithName() 
in Application if the passed name is null.

“Are there people out there who have WOApplication running in big WO Projects?”

I think some company called Apple has a few that might be termed large.  :-)   
When you get to large, you either need to manage the complexity and scalability 
or pay the price for not managing it.  No technology is going to make that fact 
go away.  They just move the complexity around.
