Deployed application crashes silently...

It is to despair, I spend hours and hours to port my 5.1.4 Pac to 6. I
imported every view in a single step into the VC. The package did not load
because of the second error below.
Now I got my PAC into vers 6 and deployed it successfully - it crashes at
runtime. Is that fair?

Please chear my up!
Klaus

Well the thing that strikes me as odd here is that your main window
appears to be a Dialog (BiPosDialog) rather than a Shell. I'm not sure
you can have a Dialog as the only window open in a Dolphin application
(I'll have to defer to Blair to comment on that).

For the time being can you try making BiPosDialog a subclass of Shell
rather than Dialog (if it is one at the moment).

Best regards

Andy,

thank you for answering promptly.

Everything you wrote sounds ok, but only the view of BiPosDialog is a
ShellView and Dialog is a subclass Shell.
What I am wondering about is why doesn't it work to just save the package
under 5.1.4 and import it in D6 and everything is fine?
In the time during your answer I got rid of the exception in mutating all
the "depricated" MultiSelectionListViews into ListViews.
Now there is just the complain about: ResourceIdentifier does not
understand #loadWithContext:forEdit:
By the way... Everything is fine if I use a Workspace with "BiPosDialog
show".

Cheers
Klaus

I created a new subclass of Shell (BiPosShell) and imported the stored view
from BiPosDialog (ShellView) as the Default View. This new class I called
in my main.
The result is the same as before.
I gues it's something wrong with the View.

Klaus,

Well now I'm confused. In your original post you said: "The package did
not load because of the second error below. Now I got my PAC into vers
6 and deployed it successfully - it crashes at runtime."

I took this to mean that you had solved the error concerning
#loadWithContext:forEdit:. Anyway, another thought crosses my mind. We
recently discovered a problem #2058 (Some deployed applications can
fail with: "Not found: STLInFiler") and this is fixed in the latest
beta patch level (dated 12 Dec 2005). Although the error message is not
the same as the one you are seeing it may be a related problem.
Therefore, could you try applying the latest Live Update and
redeploying your application?

If this doesn't work can you zip up the deployment log and e-mail it to
me.

Best Regards,

I got mixed up the sentences. It must be:
The package did not load because of the second error below, so I imported
every view in a single step into the VC and saved it to the corresponding
class.
As a hint, if I tried to import the package I got that error and I tried
to debug it. As I remember right, I saw something like right the place was
at storing the resource "DialogView.ico" to a nil view.
Anyway, I do that update later on my workstation and hopefully it works
;-).

Everything is fine now.

The method ResourceIdentifier>>loadWithContext:forEdit: was accidental
assigned to the package "Dolphin Legacy Resources Framework".
This has potentially happend by debugging it when I tried to load the
package.

Thanks for beeing patient.
Klaus
