[Glass] loading seaside and zinc

[Johan Brichau]

Mariano,

Yes, we also use Swazoo when Gemstone is running on our development machine. I would never use it for production (rather use FastCGI behind nginx) but for development setups, it does the job.

Mind that we start it as follows:

WAGemStoneRunSeasideGems default
	name: 'Swazoo';
	adaptorClass: WAGsSwazooAdaptor;
	ports: #(8383).
WAGemStoneRunSeasideGems restartGems.

Running the other snippet below works but we also got strange behavior when using that. Now, that also dates back to the time we started with Gemstone, but I seem to remember we noted that using the following snippet to start swazoo from gemtools was not a reliable way to run the app.

WAGsSwazooAdaptor startOn: 8383.

Besides that, how are you starting the Zinc adaptor? 
I would want to quickly setup an extent here with a Zinc server so I can check out what the problems are. Since a lot of people are interested, it's worth diving into.

So...besides Zinc, which is the easiest web adaptor to use with GemStone? Also, if you have some doc on how to use it, I would be very happy. I would like to avoid any none-smalltalk web server for the moment....(unless the conf files were very easy)... so I guess the only option left is WAGsSwazooAdaptor ?
