Sure thing Ken. I basically just fire off a ERXTimerTask from the
static initialization of a principal class. I throw in a 30 second
delay to make sure the app is completely launched as I don't understand
the ins and outs of when principal classes are loaded.
public class PrincipalClass {
private static Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(PrincipalClass.class);
static {
SomeTask.start();
}
}
public class SomeTask extends ERXTimerTask {
private static Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(SomeTask.class);
// static
public static void start() {
try {
SomeTask task = new SomeTask();
Timer timer = new Timer(true);
timer.schedule(task, 30000);
}
catch (Exception e) {
LOG.error("unable to start task", e);
}
}
@Override
public void _run() {
// do whatever here
}
}
It's ugly but it works. I'd be interested in hearing about other
(better) solutions myself.

Jon,
Thanks. It might be a red herring, but our entire startup happens in the
target method of that notification, so it's a mighty big issue for us. Yes, I
*would* be very interested in your hack, even if it's just to understand the
problem better.
Thanks!
Ken

Subject: Re: Switch from 5.3.3 to 5.4.3 breaks tomcat deployment
I think he's saying ApplicationDidFinishInitializationNotification not
being posted is a known bug. NSNotification(Center) stuff works, just
not this one. Something to do with having to use JavaWOJSPServlet I
believe although I'm not certain. My workaround is an embarrassing hack
so I'd rather not share it unless you're really interested. ;-)
I'm not sure exactly why you're having troubles but 5.4 deployment under
tomcat (I never did deploy 5.3) is an exercise is patience. One thing
after another. It does work though. Don't worry about
appDidFinishLaunching() not being called. That's a red herring in this
case.//

Are you saying I just can't deploy 5.4.3 with Tomcat ? There's no workaround ?

All,
We're in the midst of converting some WO apps from 5.3.3 to 5.4.3. Everything
works well in Eclipse, but when we deploy to tomcat 5.5 via a .war file, the
app basically does nothing. Remote debugging shows that the Application
constructor gets called, but the notification center never fires the
appDidFinishLaunching event.
We're using Java 1.6 if that matters... Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Known issue if I'm not mistaken...

Subject: Wonder App doesn't receive
"ApplicationDidFinishLaunchingNotification" notification when deployed as a
servlet
I was banging my head on this, so I thought I would share it with the group:
Our Wonder App doesn't receive "ApplicationDidFinishLaunchingNotification"
notification when deployed as a servlet, this results in ERXRemoteSynchronizer not being
started when initialized using ERXObjectStoreCoordinatorSynchronizer.initialize(); since
initialization depends on that notification being received (Line 87 in
ERXObjectStoreCoordinatorSynchronizer.java):
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(this, new
NSSelector("startRemoteSynchronizer", ERXConstant.NotificationClassArray),
WOApplication.ApplicationDidFinishLaunchingNotification, null);
You can bypass that by doing this instead
ERXObjectStoreCoordinatorSynchronizer.synchronizer().initializeRemoteSynchronizer();
As a confirmation I also overrode didFinishLaunching() from ERXApplication and
that doesn't get called either when deployed as a servlet...
Thanks,
Saad
