1 == Introduction ==
2
3 Instead of downloading the Wonder binaries, working from the latest source code directly can have some advantages such as:
4
5 * Ability to conveniently browse and search the source code and learn from the wisdom and experience of the WO committers
6 * Put breakpoints in and step through Wonder source when debugging your projects
7 * Provide opportunities to submit patches to bugs you might find in Wonder
8 * Add logging statements in Wonder source so you can better understand what is going when tracking down hard to find bugs
9 * Work with specific versions of Wonder in a project - good practice for quality control, especially for teams

11 == Source Frameworks Initial Installation Procedure ==
12
13 Open a terminal and navigate to a directory where you want to maintain a source "working copy" and just use the following easy-peasy commands to download the Wonder source. Note that the build and installation commands are slighly different for WebObjects 5.4.X. So procedures for both WebObjects 5.4.X and 5.3.X are shown below. Pick you poison:
14
15 {{code title="Procedure for WebObjects 5.4.X"}}
16
17 # Checkout the source from subversion repository into a new directory named "WonderSource"
18 svn co http://wonder.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wonder/trunk/Wonder --revision <ARG> WonderSource
19
20 # Navigate into the working copy root
21 cd WonderSource
22
23 # Build the frameworks from the source (BTW, they get built into a directory named Roots in your home dir)
24 ant -Dwonder.patch=54 frameworks
25
26 # Install the frameworks (this just copies the built frameworks from ~/Roots to
27 # the runtime Frameworks directory, usually at /Library/Framrworks
28 sudo ant -Dwonder.patch=54 frameworks.install
29
30 {{/code}}
31
32 {{code title="Procedure for WebObjects 5.3.X"}}
33
34 # Checkout the source from subversion repository into a new directory named "WonderSource"
35 svn co http://wonder.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wonder/trunk/Wonder --revision <ARG> WonderSource
36
37 # Navigate into the working copy root
38 cd WonderSource
39
40 # Build the frameworks from the source (BTW, they get built into a directory named Roots in your home dir)
41 ant frameworks
42
43 # Install the frameworks (this just copies the built frameworks from ~/Roots to
44 # the runtime Frameworks directory, usually at /Library/Framrworks
45 sudo ant frameworks.install

49 == Source Frameworks Upgrade Installation ==
50
51 Assuming you already installed Wonder from source using the method outlined above, you can use the following procedure to upgrade to a newer, or just different version. Note that the procedure for both WebObjects 5.4.X and 5.3.X are outlined below. They are the same except for the last 3 ant commands.
52
53 {{code title="Procedure for WebObjects 5.4.X"}}
54
55 # Navigate to the Roots directory that was automatically created by the initial Source installation procedure above
56 cd ~/Roots/
57
58 # Delete all installed frameworks whose names match the built frameworks in this Roots build folder
59 $ for FRAMEWORK in `echo *.framework`; do sudo rm -r /Library/Frameworks/${FRAMEWORK}; done
60
61 # Navigate to the original Wonder source directory that you created above during initial source installation
62 $ cd /path/to/WonderSource
63
64 # Update the source to the HEAD revision (aka latest). You can also use a specific svn
65 # repository version instead of the term 'HEAD', for example 11272
66 svn update --force --accept theirs-full --revision HEAD
67
68 # Clean the previous build artifacts
69 ant -Dwonder.patch=54 clean
70
71 # Build from the latest source
72 ant -Dwonder.patch=54 frameworks
73
74 # Install the latest built frameworks
75 sudo ant -Dwonder.patch=54 frameworks.install
76
77 {{/code}}
78
79 {{code title="Procedure for WebObjects 5.3.X"}}
80
81 # Navigate to the Roots directory that was automatically created by the initial Source installation procedure above
82 cd ~/Roots/
83
84 # Delete all installed frameworks whose names match the built frameworks in this Roots build folder
85 $ for FRAMEWORK in `echo *.framework`; do sudo rm -r /Library/Frameworks/${FRAMEWORK}; done
86
87 # Navigate to the original Wonder source directory that you created above during initial source installation
88 $ cd /path/to/WonderSource
89
90 # Update the source to the HEAD revision (aka latest). You can also use a specific svn
91 # repository version instead of the term 'HEAD', for example 11272
92 svn update --force --accept theirs-full --revision HEAD
93
94 # Clean the previous build artifacts
95 ant clean
96
97 # Build from the latest source
98 ant frameworks
99
100 # Install the latest built frameworks
101 sudo frameworks.install

107 If you have any trouble or errors due to your working copy getting hosed, then simply delete the entire working copy directory, the ~/Roots directory and just start over using the initial source installation procedure outlined above.
