Glorp in VW 7.7: How good is it?

All,

I assume the latest Glorp bundle (7.8 - 4,nross) in the Cincom public repository works correctly in a VW 7.7 image, and it is also the preferred version of Glorp.

Is that version of Glorp robust and stable enough to be used reliably in a commercial software product built on VW 7.7? By “robust” I mean that its performance is reasonably good and will degrade gracefully with increasing workload. By “stable” I mean correct behavior (no significant known bugs).

Does anyone know of actual commercial products using Glorp?

Chris

Chris,

The core product now uses Glorp as a basis for its source control management part, so I'd imagine it's in decent enough shape. In addition, Cincom's Web Velocity also uses Glorp as a database layer for building persistent applications. There are quite a few test cases in the GlorpTest bundle if you want to be sure.

HTH,

In VW7.7, Glorp is the infrastructure that Store uses to interface with the database. I think that qualifies as a commercial product. It had better be pretty stable if I'm going to trust my source code to it.

I've been using it on and off for a couple of years and it always
works as advertised.. Its a very well thought out piece of s/w!

Dear Chris,
any pundle with version beginning '7.8 - ' is _not_ _guaranteed_ to work
OK in a 7.7 image. The latest bundle with version beginning '7.7 - ' is
the one you should look for. That is 7.7 - 70, which is also the version
provided as a parcel in the VW7.7 distribution.

(As the text for 7.8 - 4's blessing 'Make default platform settings the
same in Glorp and Store', indicates, it coordinates with Store changes
and those have not been replicated to the OR AFAICS. Thus it should
definitely not be used in 7.7. I have no idea why it was replicated; I
assume for the convenience of some vwdev user.)

We certainly regard Glorp as suitable for commercial use in VW. It is a
key part of our own WebVelocity offering.

Yours faithfully
Niall Ross
