I've been following the instructions in the WebObjects Java Client
Programming manual (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/

the Application" in which it describes several ways to modify a
Direct To Java Client application. In the instructions for setting
initial values (page 123), the example code is put in the
awakeFromInsertion(EOEditingContext) method in the server-side
class. I was putting it in the client-side, but I've now generated
server side classes, added it to the Application Server target and
put the code there and even changed it to simply put a default
value in one of the attributes instead of setting a relationship,
but it still doesn't work.
My understanding is that it belongs in the server side class, not the
client side. You should also really be developing server side
classes in general before client side, as that is where most of the
logic belongs.
Here's what my code now looks like
public void awakeFromInsertion (EOEditingContext ec) {
super.awakeFromInsertion(ec);
System.out.println("Routing awakeFromInsert Called");
if (routingDescription() == null) {
setRoutingDescription("Description");
}
}
When I click the new icon for a routing and I get the form window,
the default is not set and nothing shows in the console.
This won't be called until it is inserted in the editing context;
have you checked this already?
It appears that the awakeFromInsertion() method isn't even being
invoked. But since I'm simply making a modification to a D2JC
application, I don't know everything that is going on behind the
scenes to trigger a new instance and therefor what might be going
wrong prior to this point.
You are creating a new instance of the class and inserting it in the
editing context (there's a couple of different ways of doing this in
code).
Is your log message producing any output?
