As the 5.5 Dev Studio is a Carbon application running in the rosetta emulator and Apple did not provide a bridge between Rosetta and Java there is no way that the JVM can be instantiated. The irony of this situatio is that Apple did not implement the odbc- jdbc bridge either which is a

Any ideas? (Note, when I said 5.5, I did mean the 5.5 WitangoServer directory, NOT the editor one!) I am NOT a Windows person, so I can't tell by looking if the permissions on this file are correct or not... or if there's some other Windows kind of tweaking that I need to do. What's

Dear Witango Support, Thank you for the follow up, however,using the new Studio BETA has the following problems: 1) a key that expires and no replacement key (that situation now) 2) various bugs during use of it to develop with . . . 3) once a TAF is opened in the new studio, it is

I concur. I go a little further: 1. only use DirectDBMS, so you don't need the studio data sources at all. This has the ancillary benefit or eliminating all the problems [!CST] with the DataDictionary / that crop up in the Studio, and keeps the appfile smaller. 2. define the

I have a question, if you go through all the work of doing everything in directDBMS, and I understand your reasons, why use witango and not php? You don't have to answer if you would rather not, I am just curious. If you eliminate the search actions and stuff, what is witango doing for

A very fair question. Here are some answers. 1. I am a firm believer in the power of visual programming, and I disagree with Fred Brooks on its viability. First, its the visual cortex that is the brain's parallel processor, yet most software is coded using the sequential cognitive

Execellent post Bill, very astute observations. Well worthy of the blogosphere. Although I prefer C# .NET coding over Witango as a language choice, I do still miss the Visual Action concept of the Editor very much. Many a day ago Ben and I submitted suggestions for forking the Witango Editor

Thanks, Scott. You prompt two more observations. 1. I agree that the metatag language is cumbersome. I would love to see it refactored into something a little more typist friendly. That's for v.7. 2. Recursive Block:If-Then-Else structures are everyware (sic) so it would make a lot of

I def agree on the visual. I cut my teeth on tango, and loved it. It is much easier to scan a taf and see what is going on than a complex php file. Assuming that your base logic is done in the visual part of the taf. The thing for me is that whatever gain there is with that, you lose in
