Deployment setup on a OS X box
I'm setting up a Mac Mini Server, and it's the first time since 2008 that I'm setting up a OS X box just for deployment. I installed WO with woinstaller.jar, but I did forget that it won't install it in /, saying that /System already exists. So I installed it in /Developer, and had to create a symlink for /Library/WebObjects to /Developer/Library/WebObjects. Now, since it's a deployment box, I don't actually need WO on it, I only need the Apache adaptor, wotaskd and JavaMonitor with embedded frameworks. So I'm thinking of creating a installer (.pkg) that would : - create /Library/WebObjects and /Library/WebServer/Documents if they don't already exists - install wotaskd.woa from Wonder, in /Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications - instal JavaMonitor.woa from Wonder, in /Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications - install the two launchctl scripts - install and load the Apache HTTP adaptor from Wonder Any opinions on this? -- Pascal Robert prob...@macti.ca AIM/iChat : MacTICanada LinkedIn : http://www.linkedin.com/in/macti Twitter : pascal_robert ___ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Fwd: Migrations encoding
Hi,
I am running into the same issue below.
I am using ERXJDBCUtilities.executeUpdateScriptFromResourceNamed() to insert
few rows in the DB. The DB is using UTF-8 Encoding. File containing the SQL
statements is using UTF-8 as well. The problem is that a value like Québec is
not inserted properly using the
ERXJDBCUtilities.executeUpdateScriptFromResourceNamed(). The same fine inserts
the data properly if executed directly using Postgres command line.
I tried to modify the file.encoding Property with no luck.
I tried the UTF-16 encoding: I change the file encoding (made sure to tell
Eclipse about the UTF-16 encoding). Now, the migration fails
ERXJDBCUtilities.executeUpdateScriptFromResourceNamed() throws an exception:
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to execute 'ˇ˛INSERT INTO
entity_status(status_name) values ('ACTIVE')'.

However setting the JVM parameter file.encoding=UTF-8 in the command line
solves my issue and data are inserted properly.
I am wondering if somebody knows about a better solution for this issue.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Migrations encoding
Hi,
I just came across the same problem. I have an UTF-8 encoded file that should
be executed during migrations. On my development machine everything works as
expected but on the deployment machine unicode characters get garbled. After
some debugging I found the difference between both machines (development is
10.5.7 Client, deployment 10.5.7 Server): the java system property
file.encoding is UTF-8 on my development machine and on the server it is set
to MacRoman. I don't know why this setting is different nor how I can change
this default.
By adding a -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to the JVM arguments everything is ok but
this means that either I have to add this in JavaMonitor or add it to the
generated WOA-startup script. Both things you can easily forget and screw up
your migrations. So another solution I tried is to add
System.setProperty(file.encoding, UTF-8); (1)
to the application constructor. This seems to remedy the situation but
unfortunately the server showed the same garbled string :( By stepping
through the code the line
return new String(ERXFileUtilities.bytesFromInputStream(in)); (2)
in ERXStringUtilities.stringFromInputStream calls
String-StringCoding.decode-Converters.getDefaultEncodingName
which returns again MacRoman. Could it be that setting the system property
(1) does not alter the value globally? How are you assuring that the file
encoding defaults to UTF-8 in your WO applications? Is there a special trick?
Is changing the startup script in the ant build the way to go (so should it
possibly be made the default in WOLips)?
A temporary patch would be to change the line (2) to
return new String(ERXFileUtilities.bytesFromInputStream(in),
Charset.defaultCharset());

Yup. I made sure it was using bbedit. I read in the sql file
manually(using FileInputStream with UTF-16 encoding) and inserted it into
the database via editingcontext with no problem at all. How else can I make
sure it's encoded properly?

Re: Golipse.app
Ah - cool. There are some things I like about this, and somethings which I would consider changing (IMHO). Pros - Always Up-to-date (which is really, mostly, always)...much nicer than have a script on a server continuously generate packages - Simplicity (big for me) Cons - Need to be online during installation (some folks download packages and then run, or are not constantly connected) - Not a typical installation package (which, as an IT guy, drives me just a little crazy) - No continuous feedback (though probably easily solved if using cocoa API's like NSURL), like with a simple progress bar Questions - Is connectivity checked before attempting the download? - Is the download file md5 hash checked before download? - Are there alternate links in case the primary download URLs fail? - Is there a Cancel button? - Are we using API's such as NSURL, or running NSTask? In the past, I create packages (using packagemaker) which contained a new feature (Package References) - so the package would download components remotely during the install process. We found this confused the users and frustrated support staff. I thought it was cool, and basically the future...since we're rapidly heading to a space where everything is connected, always. I suppose we're not quite there yet since every client and business, save a few enterprise groups, that told me to change it back). I'm really interested in what everyone else thinks hereshould we shelve the turnkey in favor of something like this? Not wanting to devote time to spend on yet another installation solution...we already have a few now, and I think we need to choose one (maybe two) which will be the future newbie installerneed to get rid of the confusion there.

This is just a simple Cocoa wrapper around Mike's shell script. As such it simply derives the appropriate download path and then calls through to an embedded version of the script with NSTask. It is not designed to be a replacement for anything, and to be completely honest, I have no interest in creating or supporting the next great installer. Mike's script is just really cool, and I wanted to make it easier to use. I have a wickedly fast internet connection right now, so I can have a complete eclipse install up and running in about 3 minutes. Which is awesome BTW. I might consider enhancing Mike's script so it takes a second optional eclipse archive location, so you can grab from a local archive for the eclipse app itself, but that is probably the extent of my planned enhancements. That said, I'll probably also push this up to github for those who want to extend it themselves.

I suppose we're not quite there yet since every client and business, save a few enterprise groups, that told me to change it back). I'm really interested in what everyone else thinks hereshould we shelve the turnkey in favor of something like this? Not wanting to devote time to spend on yet another installation solution...we already have a few now, and I think we need to choose one (maybe two) which will be the future newbie installerneed to get rid of the confusion there. This is just a simple Cocoa wrapper around Mike's shell script. As such it simply derives the appropriate download path and then calls through to an embedded version of the script with NSTask. It is not designed to be a replacement for anything, and to be completely honest, I have no interest in creating or supporting the next great installer. Mike's script is just really cool, and I wanted to make it easier to use. I have a wickedly fast internet connection right now, so I can have a complete eclipse install up and running in about 3 minutes. Which is awesome BTW. I might consider enhancing Mike's script so it takes a second optional eclipse archive location, so you can grab from a local archive for the eclipse app itself, but that is probably the extent of my planned enhancements. That said, I'll probably also push this up to github for those who want to extend it themselves.

Auto-inspect result sets of 1
Hi All, When a user performs a query, if the results contain exactly one object I want to return an Inspect page for that object instead of a List page. I assume I'm going to want to implement a NextPageDelegate, but I'm not sure how to do that. I've looked around but I can't seem to find a good example. Does anyone have an example NextPageDelegate that I can use as a starting point? I promise to create a Wiki page documenting how to do this for future mes. Thanks!

Re: Deployment setup on a OS X box

Awesome. Are you deliberately compiling the adaptor from scratch? If nothing else I guess that means you don't have to determine what architecture you're on. I'm just thinking you could compile it once for each, store those somewhere and download them with that script, then you could avoid installing gcc. -- Paul. http://logicsquad.net/ ___ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Re: Deployment setup on a OS X box
+1 Excellent idea. P.S. The offer still stands to add scorpius.hpcc.ttu.edu and/or hercules.cs.ttu.edu to further facilitate the WO Community at large, say as a mirror. The bandwidth is good and they are both Mac servers. I further encourage fellow universities to join in on this. After all, that is how the infamous social network spread like wild fire.

I installed WO with woinstaller.jar, but I did forget that it won't install it in /, saying that /System already exists. So I installed it in /Developer, and had to create a symlink for /Library/WebObjects to /Developer/Library/WebObjects. Now, since it's a deployment box, I don't actually need WO on it, I only need the Apache adaptor, wotaskd and JavaMonitor with embedded frameworks. So I'm thinking of creating a installer (.pkg) that would : - create /Library/WebObjects and /Library/WebServer/Documents if they don't already exists - install wotaskd.woa from Wonder, in /Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications - instal JavaMonitor.woa from Wonder, in /Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications - install the two launchctl scripts - install and load the Apache HTTP adaptor from Wonder Any opinions on this? -- Pascal Robert prob...@macti.ca AIM/iChat : MacTICanada LinkedIn : http://www.linkedin.com/in/macti Twitter : pascal_robert ___ Do not post admin requests to the list.
