I have read some of the past post on adding an EOModel to an existing
WO project. It seems like much of the problems with adding a model to
the project have been no adding it as "Create Folder References".
I have a slightly different problem. I have an EOModel that is part
of a separate framework. I need to use some of the entities in that
EOModel (and business logic in the related java classes in the
framework) in an existing project.
I can add the framework to the project without a problem (application
server target) and compile my project successfully. However, when
running the project, I do not see my the model I added (via the
external framework).
Has the framework been installed in /Library/Frameworks?
I am checking this using the following (EOModelGroup.defaultGroup
()).models().
That is the correct test for this.
As a test I created a new WO Application project and added the
framework in the wizard setup. After I add the framework, the next
part of the wizard asks to Add EOModels. (My model appears). When I
run the test project, I can see the model and all works fine.
I have not used that before, but it seems to me that your model
should _not_ show up if it is in a framework.
Further testing, I removed the framework from the project, cleaned,
re-indexed and re-ran the project. As I expected, the model did not
show. However, when I attempted to re-add the framework the project,
I could no longer get it to show up again.
I am just not sure what "magic" happens during the wizard setup for
the project and how I can manually add a framework (with an EOModel)
to a project. How does a WO Application "know" what models it "has"
(i.e. where in the project is this information stored)? I have
searched the targets, and project files without luck.
It is not explicitly stored. The models are located from the
classpath at runtime. For example, if the classpath as
/Library/Frameworks/MyFramework.framework/Resources/Java/MyFramework.jar
Then the app will load any EOModels found in
/Library/Frameworks/MyFramework.framework/Resources/*.eomodeld
Look in your app project in the directory
MyApp/build/Development/MyApp.woa/Contents/MacOS/MacOSClassPath.txt
and see what is getting on the classpath.
It could also be a problem in the framework with the eomodeld not
being included in the FW properly.
