What’s new in WOLips 3.6?Modeling

• Entity Modeler now opens in a new window by default

• Cmd-Shift-V allows you to type an entity name and Entity Modeler will open the right EOModel and select the requested entity (entity name, not class name)

• Double-Clicking an EOModel in the finder can open it in WOLips

What’s new in WOLips 3.6?Summary

WOLips 3.6 is an evolution, not a revolution• Many things are refined, work smother, made easier

Linking to WebObjects Javadoc

• Use Xcode 3.2 to install the Mac OS X Legacy Library docset (847 MB) in the Preferences > Documentation tab

• In WOLips preference pane, set WebObjects Javadoc to:/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets/com.apple.adc.documentation.AppleLegacy.CoreReference.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/documentation/InternetWeb/Reference/WO542Reference/(this directory is in a package, so you can’t just browse to it.)

• Restart Eclipse

Decompiling on-the-fly in Eclipse

• Sometimes Javadoc just isn’t enough. You want to know what’s really going on behind the curtain...

• Java Decompiler (JD): http://java.decompiler.free.fr/

• JD-Eclipse is a plug-in for Eclipse. It allows you to display the source code of “.class” files during development and debugging.

• Follow JD-Eclipse install instructions for Eclipse 3.2, 3.3 & 3.5 here: http://java.decompiler.free.fr/?q=jdeclipse

• Intel Only

In-Browser ToolsExtending development beyond Eclipse/WOLips UI

• DirectToWeb Panel - helps debug D2W apps by providing controls for rules, logging, localization, CSS, etc.

• ERProfiling - helps you understand how your app is functioning, what parts of a page are slow and why.

• SnapshotExplorer - allows you to browse the snapshots in your application’s EODatabases

• ClickToOpen - helps you figure out what components render what parts of a page and how they interact with each other

ERProfilingWhat is it?

• Designed around WebObjects

• Page-based approach to profiling your app.

• Allows you to look at the statistics for individual pages and actions

• Helps you understand why pages and actions perform the way they do.

ERProfilingAdding it to your project

• Add ERProfiling.framework to your app

• Add the javaagent setting to the VM args section of your launch config:

• Wonder source: -javaagent:${workspace_loc:ERProfiling}/Libraries/gluonj-1.5beta.jar=er.profiling.PFProfilerMixin

• Wonder binaries: -javaagent:/path/to/ERProfiling.framework/Resources/Java/gluonj-1.5beta.jar=er.profiling.PFProfilerMixin

• Run/Debug your app

• Run/Debug your app

SnapshotExplorerWhat is it?

• NOT the “FreshnessExplorer” demoed by Mark last year - no matter how many times I’ve misspoken in the last 10 minutes

• Allows you to look over EOF’s shoulder and see what it sees compared to what the UI or Database show

• Runs only in Development

SnapshotExplorerAdding it to your project

• Add the following Wonder frameworks to your Build Path:➡ SnapshotExplorer➡ Ajax➡ ERRest➡ WOOgnl

• Add the following line to your Application() constructor:SESnapshotExplorer.register();or (if your project already uses ERRest):SESnapshotExplorer.register(routeRequestHandler);

Adding SnapshotExplorer to your Application

package er.modern.movies.demo;

import er.extensions.appserver.ERXApplication;import er.extensions.appserver.navigation.ERXNavigationManager;import er.snapshotexplorer.SESnapshotExplorer;

public class Application extends ERXApplication { public static void main(String[] argv) { ERXApplication.main(argv, Application.class); }

public Application() { ERXApplication.log.info("Welcome to " + name() + " !"); setDefaultRequestHandler(requestHandlerForKey(directActionRequestHandlerKey()));

SESnapshotExplorer.register();

}

@Override public void finishInitialization() { super.finishInitialization();

// Setup main navigation ERXNavigationManager.manager().configureNavigation();

}}
