[Glass] Zinc and REST on 3.1.0.X

Tue Jul 2 16:36:00 PDT 2013

Ken, 

I took a look at the differences between the packages in your repository and the packages that have been updated to Zinc 2.3.2 and there are quite a few changes (the set of changes that Johan waded through when he did the port...), soooo it won't be easy for me to extract anything else from your repo. 

We've got the 2.3.2 release tagged for Gemstone 2.4 and 3.1, so the next step for me is to sync up with the current Zinc release and start work on getting the new release ported (at a leisurely pace) ... the master branch in the Zinc repo is supposed to pretty much match Svens repo, so I'll offer Sven a pull request once I've got things up there (I might even add travis tests for Pharo as a bonus) to entice him to continue to keep the github repo up-to-date:) 

When we've got the core of Sven's latest ported the plan would be to expand out into the other packages followed by a Zodiac port to 3.1...eventually.

| Hi Dale,

| I haven't played with the git stuff for a while. I need to get back
| into that.

| I think the main changes that I haven't pushed to Github are:

| 1. Adding SpSocketError to the pile of exceptions handled by the
| read/writeRequestSafely: methods
| 2. Increasing the maximumNumberOfDictionaryEntries.

| You wouldn't have to merge #2. Our app needed it because we have some
| big forms, but unfortunately there was no clean way to override the
| default (say in ZnConstants) without changing the code.

| Other than that, there are some streaming packages. We're using
| these, together with another hacked backport of WAComboRequest, to
| send results to the browser in chunks. There's no clean way to
| handle transaction failure when you're doing that, so we only use it
| in combination with an unlock and abort. Again, no need to merge
| those.

| I also started to shuffle some code around to better match what Sven
| has done upstream, but I didn't get very far on that project either.
| Pesky deadlines...

| | Ken,

| | Does your hacked version match the version that is up on github[1]?
| 

| | I just took a quick look at the Zinc test failures for 3.1 and they
| | are the familiar fork:at: issue, so I was planning on merging the
| | changes that you'd made on github, but if there are additional
| | hacks
| | not on github, I probably should include them as well ...
| 

| | Sebastian, the 3.1 test failures in the current glassdb version are
| | pretty fundamental so I'd recommend going with Ken's port until I
| | can get his edits integrated...

| | | Hi Sebastian,
| | 
| 

| | | We're using Zinc on 3.1.0.1 (hopefully upgrading to 3.1.0.4 this
| | | week). I don't remember everything I had to do to get it working,
| | | but I know it involved at least:
| | 
| 

| | | * Using a 3.1.0.X port of Zinc. Feel free to use my hacked
| | | versions
| | | here:
| | 
| 

| | | http://mc.miriamtech.com/zinc
| | 
| 

| | | * Configuring WAGemStoneRunSeasideGems to use Zinc adaptors.
| | | Something like:
| | 
| 

| | | WAGemStoneRunSeasideGems default
| | 
| 
| | | name: 'Zinc';
| | 
| 
| | | adaptorClass: WAGsZincAdaptor;
| | 
| 
| | | ports: #(9001 9002 9003).
| | 
| 

| | | Hope that helps,
| | 
|

| | | | Hi All!
| | | 
| | 
| 

| | | | I finally started to port one of my prototypes to Gemstone/Web.
| | | 
| | 
| 

| | | | My Pharo portotype uses Seaside and Seaside-REST and Amber as a
| | | | frontend.
| | | 
| | 
| 

| | | | I used the most current 3.1.0.4 version of Gemstone and I was
| | | | wondering if somebody can give me some tips on how to startup
| | | | Zinc.
| | | 
| | 
| 
| | | | I do not really need Seaside and I would prefer to use
| | | | Zinc-Rest
| | | | for
| | | | my kind of application....
| | | 
| | 
| 

| | | | I know that there are test failing currently but I'm not too
| | | | sure
| | | | if
| | | | my loaded code base is the right one anyways.
| | | 
| | 
| 

| | | | Is there somebody how has at least managed to start a Zinc
| | | | Server
| | | | on
| | | | 3.1.0.X and if so,... what did you load and how do you start it
| | | | ;-)
| | | 
| | 
| 

| | | | Thanks for you help!
| | | 
| |
