Apple’s incredibly powerful and robust web application framework
Kieran posted a cool post on using Templates to ease WOComponent creation in Eclipse here. That spawned a reply from Mike Schrag (added at the bottom o Kieran’s post) and the creation of a new Google Group for the sharing of WO Tips.
My first tip is here.
Gary Teter on the WireHose-dev list laments the fact that WOBuilder won’t display the bindings for his WHHyperlink element. So, given that WOBuilder is EOL’d, he shows how to hack its WebObjectDefinitions.xml so that it does. Read more here.
An interesting post, and maybe of use to those trying to eke as much life as possible out of WOBuilder.
From Gary Teter on the WebObjects-dev list:
It’s been over two years in the making and now 4.0 is ready to go. Better performance, more sample code, great new features, and a price you can’t resist — free.
WireHose Server 4.0 is now free to download and use. License keys are no longer required, and there are no developer workstation performance limits.

If you’ve been asked to add tagging, personalization, content management, bookmarkable human-readable URLs, access control, localization or dynamic layouts to your WebObjects application, give WireHose a try.
If you’ve looked at WireHose before, take another look. Most of the layout support framework is now available as sample code, so it’s easier than ever to get your project up to speed. And the new WHEOCache class is pretty sweet. Big chunks of WireHose have been rewritten to use it.
This is huge… and very welcome. I’ve looked at WireHose a number of time but have never had a chance to use it in a production app. I think it’s time to change that.
Hmm… I think I smell a tacow session topic.
So I don’t forget again. The WebObjects Ajax examples application from Project WONDER is online here.
Mike Schrag (bless his t-shirt designing, build server maintaining, insanely coding little heart) has started generating the Project WONDER javadocs with the nightly build. They are available online here, and as a download here. Read them. There are great amounts of understanding goodness are contained within.
