yeah as one of the developers I don't consider it abandoned either, the wiki page probably isn't an accurate description of its activity, though It hasn't been that active lately, its also fairly stable, so i can't speak for the other developers but it is my understanding that it currently works well for them, I do intend to continue my GDL2 work at some point >>> The project I will start will need access to relational databases >>> (interbase? postgres? mysql?) to share with other instances of the >>> aplication, and with an alternative web frontend, there are other >>> alternatives? >> I think gdl2 would work fairly well for this, the EOInterface layer makes developing gui apps fairly nice imo (though i'm not exactly impartial on that), and it can share the model with GSWeb, so this is actually a situation where I think gdl2 should work nice. though the EOInterface stuff as far as i'm aware hasn't really been used in a production environment, my last commits is the Trading/ directory which contains an example database, and populates it with data for use in tutorial/example programs, from there the idea was to do exactly this have a gui and a gsweb example which work through the same database. as far as hosting, no you don't need WebObjects 4.5, GSWeb is an implementation of the webobjects portion of WebObjects 4.5 (which also contained EOF which GDL2 is an implementation of), anyhow WebObjects contains everything needed to connect to apache. I think there is a bit of a learning curve attached to it though for people not steming from WebObjects background, so you may want to look at the GDL2Intro in the sources. I don't see it having landed on the documentation portion of the website unfortunately. i've got a video somewhere I can try to find and upload somewhere which shows developing a gui program with gorm/gdl2 I could upload somewhere if you are interested. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
