What is the official plug-in for OpenBase?

2009-03-24 Thread Ricardo J. Parada


Does anybody know what is the official plug-in for OpenBase?  I use  
the OpenBaseJDBC.jar I downloaded from OpenBase months ago.  And I  
removed the one in /Library/Java/Extensions.  I noticed that when it  
obtains primary keys from the database it uses the select NEWID  
mechanism.


But I also noticed that there are some frameworks in my system for  
OpenBase which I believe got installed when I installed OpenBase...  
and so I'm wondering if I should be using one of those instead for my  
WO application.  In particular it seems like  
OpenBasePKPlugin.framework could be the one.


$ ls -d /Library/Frameworks/OpenBase*
/Library/Frameworks/OpenBaseAPI.framework
/Library/Frameworks/OpenBaseAdmin.framework
/Library/Frameworks/OpenBaseAdvancedAPI.framework
/Library/Frameworks/OpenBaseCR.framework
/Library/Frameworks/OpenBaseEOAdaptor.framework
/Library/Frameworks/OpenBaseForms.framework
/Library/Frameworks/OpenBaseLogin.framework
/Library/Frameworks/OpenBaseManager.framework
/Library/Frameworks/OpenBaseNet.framework
/Library/Frameworks/OpenBasePKPlugin.framework

Anwyas, maybe a question for openbase support.  :-)

I think I may have found the answer... here's a page from openbase  
that talks about that:

I am pretty sure those are all Obj-C frameworks.



/Library/Frameworks/OpenBasePKPlugin.framework


I am not sure about that one.  See if it has Resources/Java/*.jar in it.

WO comes with an OpenBase plugin bundled.

That too.  :-)

Yes it does...

$ ls /Library/Frameworks/OpenBasePKPlugin.framework/Resources/Java/
openbasepkplugin.jar

And that .jar has a single  
com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.OpenBasePKPlugIn.class file which extends  
the JDBCPlugIn class.


I know that initially my application was generating primary keys using  
the EO_PK_TABLE.  And then I downloaded a newer OpenBaseJDBC.jar many  
months ago and my application started generating primary keys using  
the select NEWID scheme.  But I have never used the  
OpenBasePKPlugin.framework in my classpath following the instructions  
on that page.


But as soon as I did that I started running into a problem right  
away.  I started getting exception fetching EOs that have a java  
enumerated types as one of their properties.  So I removed the  
OpenBasePKPlugin.framework from my classpath and emptied back the  
Plugin text field in the entity modeler.  And as soon as I did that  
the problem went away.


So I'm just back to using just the updated OpenBaseJDBC.jar which  
already does the select NEWID for primary key generation.


I don't think the OpenBasePKPlugin.framework is needed.  That page has  
to be really old.  It still talks about EOModeler.  They need to  
update it to Eclipse/WOLips entity modeler.  :-)


Maybe scott keith will read this email and update that page since I  
had no luck subscribing to the openbase dev list.
