David Holt 43.1 5 Download Xcode 3 from [[ADC>>http://developer.apple.com/leopard/devcenter/]], the WebObjects frameworks are included in this package. You will have to make a custom install and select //WebObjects// in the package list since WebObjects is not part of the default installation.
David Avendasora 39.1 6
David Holt 43.1 7 Install [[Eclipse 3.3.2>>http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3.2-200802211800/index.php]]

Gavin Eadie 23.1 18
David Holt 31.1 19 If you don't switch to the WOLips perspective, you won't be able to create new WebObjects projects.

David Holt 43.1 21 You are now ready to create projects or importing the examples. 
Timothy Worman 29.1 22
David Holt 43.1 23 = Running the examples =
David Avendasora 35.1 24
David Holt 43.1 25 Apple has converted their WebObjects examples in the Eclipse format, but no documentation is provided on how to import them into Eclipse.  The examples are in ///Developer/Examples/JavaWebObjects//.
David Avendasora 35.1 26
David Holt 43.1 27 The first step is: install Eclipse and WOLips :-)  
28
29 Some examples needs Derby, an embedded Java database (OpenBase is not included with WO anymore). To install the databases, you have to do:
30
31 {{code}}
32
33 cd /Developer/Examples/JavaWebObjects/
34 sudo sh installDatabases.sh <yourusername>
35
36 {{/code}}
37
38 Now, you can import the examples into Eclipse. Start Eclipse, select //File// > //Import//,
39
40 [[image:ImportMenu.png]]
41
42 and select //General// > //Existing Projects// into Workplace.
43
44 [[image:ImportGeneral.png]]
45
46 On the next page, select //Select root directory// and browse your disk to ///Developer/Examples/JavaWebObjects//. You should see a list of projects to import.&nbsp; Deselect the second //javaeoutil// project, or else you won't be able to import the projects.
47
48 [[image:ImportProjectsList.png]]
49
50 After the importation is done, you should see the projects in the WO Package Explorer. If you see the projects in Package Explorer (without "WO" in the name), that means that you are using the Java perpective instead of the WOLips perpective.&nbsp; Switch the perpective to WOLips.
51
52 [[image:PackageExplorer.png]]
53
54 Now, you need to fix the examples, because the build path is pointing to the source projects of the WO frameworks, source that nobody outside Apple has access to :-)For each project, right-click on each project, select //Build Path// > //Configure Build Path...//
55
56 [[image:BuildPathMenu.png]]
57
58 Click on the //Projects// tab, select the references to the WO frameworks that have the Warning icon and click //Remove//.
59
60 [[image:ConfigureBuildPath.png]]
61
62 Click on the //Libraries// tab, click the //Add Library// button.&nbsp; Select //WebObjects Frameworks// and click //Next//.
63
64 [[image:AddLibrary.png]]
65
66 Click //System//, open the triangle next to //System// and make sure that //JavaEOAccess//, //JavaEOControl//, //JavaFoundation//, //JavaWebObjects//, //JavaWOExtensions// and //JavaXML// are selected. For //SchoolToolsClient//, you also need to add //JavaWebServicesSupport// and //JavaWebServicesClient// to the build path. For the //SchoolToolsServer//, you need to add //JavaWebServicesSupport//.
67
68 [[image:WOSystemLibs.png]]
69 &nbsp;
70
71 After you corrected the build path on a project, the project will rebuild itself and the errors shoud dissapear.
72
73 //JavaBusinessLogic// and //RelatedLinks// requires Apache Derby, but the path to Derby's JAR is wrong. Remove the JAR from the build path, click //Add External JARs...//, browse your disk up to ///Developer/Examples/JavaWebObjects/Databases/db-derby-10.2.2.0-bin/lib// and select //derby.jar//.&nbsp; The build path should look like this:
74
75 [[image:GoodDerbyPath.png]]
76
77 Voilà&nbsp; You finally can run the examples.&nbsp;
78
David Holt 45.1 79 = Running Monitor and wotaskd on Mac OS X 10.5 "client" =
David Holt 31.1 80
81 Monitor and wotaskd are installed, but the launchd scripts to start them are not installed. You can grab them from a 10.5 Server installation, or follow those instructions.
82
Gavin Eadie 23.1 83 Make sure //Web Sharing// is enabled in the //Sharing// panel in //System Preferences// (note: 10.5 comes with Apache 2.2 as the default).
84
85 Edit ///etc/apache2/httpd.conf// (if you did a fresh install, you may already have these - search httpd.conf first)
86
David Holt 31.1 87 Search for rewrite//module, and above it, add this line~://
Gavin Eadie 23.1 88
89 {{code}}
90
91 LoadModule WebObjects_module /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/mod_WebObjects.so
92
93 {{/code}}
94
95 Go to the very end and add:
96
97 {{code}}
98
99 Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf
100
101 {{/code}}
102
103 Search for "Directory /" and comment out the Order and Deny lines:
104
105 {{code}}
106
107 <Directory />
108 Options FollowSymLinks
109 AllowOverride None
110 #Order deny,allow
111 #Deny from all

118 {{code}}
119
120 sudo apachectl graceful

209 = Developing with both WebObjects 5.4 and 5.3 =
210
211 (Mike Schrag) The following can be done a couple ways, but this is just how I happened to have things setup in betas, so I kept it (it worked for me):
212
213 Make a ///System/Library/Frameworks/WebObjects54// folder, and move the following frameworks from the 5.4 install into it:
214
215 {{code}}
216
217 JavaDTWGeneration.framework
218 JavaDirectToWeb.framework
219 JavaEOAccess.framework
220 JavaEOApplication.framework
221 JavaEOControl.framework
222 JavaEODistribution.framework
223 JavaEOGeneration.framework
224 JavaEOInterface.framework
225 JavaEOInterfaceCocoa.framework
226 JavaEOInterfaceSwing.framework
227 JavaEOProject.framework
228 JavaEORuleSystem.framework
229 JavaEOTool.framework
230 JavaFoundation.framework
231 JavaJDBCAdaptor.framework
232 JavaJNDIAdaptor.framework
233 JavaWOExtensions.framework
234 JavaWOJSPServlet.framework
235 JavaWebObjects.framework
236 JavaWebServicesClient.framework
237 JavaWebServicesGeneration.framework
238 JavaWebServicesSupport.framework
239 JavaXML.framework
240
241 {{/code}}
242
243 Make a ///System/Library/Frameworks/WebObjects53// folder, and move the following frameworks from your old 5.3 install into it (I tar'd these up from 5.3 before upgrading, but you can download 5.3 and extract these from the pkg, or POSSIBLY install them with the actually installer ... YMMV on that one)
244
245 {{code}}
246
247 JavaDTWGeneration.framework
248 JavaDirectToWeb.framework
249 JavaEOAccess.framework
250 JavaEOApplication.framework
251 JavaEOCocoa.framework
252 JavaEOControl.framework
253 JavaEODistribution.framework
254 JavaEOGeneration.framework
255 JavaEOInterface.framework
256 JavaEOInterfaceCocoa.framework
257 JavaEOInterfaceSwing.framework
258 JavaEOProject.framework
259 JavaEORuleSystem.framework
260 JavaEOTool.framework
261 JavaFoundation.framework
262 JavaJDBCAdaptor.framework
263 JavaJNDIAdaptor.framework
264 JavaWOExtensions.framework
265 JavaWOJSPServlet.framework
266 JavaWebObjects.framework
267 JavaWebServicesClient.framework
268 JavaWebServicesGeneration.framework
269 JavaWebServicesSupport.framework
270 JavaXML.framework
271
272 {{/code}}
273
274 I then use the following two scripts to be able to switch between using 5.3 and 5.4 system wide:
275
276 {{code}}
277
278 bash-3.2# cat wo53
279 for framework in `ls /System/Library/Frameworks/WebObjects53`; do rm /System/Library/Frameworks/$framework; \
280 ln -sf /System/Library/Frameworks/WebObjects53/$framework /System/Library/Frameworks/$framework; done
281 bash-3.2# cat wo54
282 for framework in `ls /System/Library/Frameworks/WebObjects54`; do rm /System/Library/Frameworks/$framework; \
283 ln -sf /System/Library/Frameworks/WebObjects54/$framework /System/Library/Frameworks/$framework; done
284
285 {{/code}}
286
287 At this point, you should have NO WO frameworks in /System/Library/Frameworks they should be in subfolders.
288
289 Now go ahead and run wo53, which should now give you WO 5.3 framework symlinks.
290
291 You may need to do a clean build of your projects in Eclipse If things are setup properly, you should not get any Java errors you didn't already have.
292
293 == Alternative 5.3 / 5.4 development method ==
294
295 The [[^woswitch]] script can be used as an alternative method to installing and using WO 5.3 for development, without the need to touch or move any of the installed WO 5.4 frameworks. This script will download and install the WebObjects 5.3.3 runtime into /Developer/WebObjects53 and maintain two copies of your ,,/Library/wobuild.properties so you can quickly switch WOLips development between the two different runtime versions.,,
296
297 To use the script for the first time, ensure that you have WebObjects 5.4 installed, and have run WOLips at least once to create your ,,/Library/wobuild.properties file. Also ensure that the script has been set executable with ##chmod __x woswitch__##,,
298
299 Then run it like this:
300
301 {{noformat}}
302
303 # ./woswitch.sh 53
304
305 {{/noformat}}
306
307 This can take quite some time the first time as it downloads, extracts and sets the WO 5.3 runtime up. After this is done, switching between the two runtimes is almost instant.
308
309 To switch between the two runtimes, quit WOLips and run
310
311 {{noformat}}
312
313 # ./woswitch.sh 54
314 or
315 # ./woswitch.sh 53
316
317 {{/noformat}}
318
319 Then run WOLips again.
320
321 One thing to remember is that when you are installing frameworks they need to be installed into the appropriate location for the runtime you are targeting. For WO 5.4 you need to install them into ##/Library/WebObjects/Frameworks## and for WO 5.3 they need to go into ##/Developer/WebObjects53/Library/Frameworks##.
322
323 Keep in mind that these changes are specific to WOLips and woproject only. If you run anything outside of WOLips you will also need to manually set ##NEXT//ROOT//##// appropriately.//
