Web tag issue ..

Using VW 7.3.1 -- I see the following problem sometimes ...

A tag of the form
    <cg:form name="abc" >
is looked up in the taglib, and found because another session had
created it.  So it just does a "copy" of that tag instance.

However, my "setName: ..." method had in fact done things, specifically
added the name "abc" to the
session dictionary.  Since the setName: is in fact not invoked, the
value does not get set into the session dictionary
and subsequent tags blow up.

Questions
   1. is this expected behavior?  I am using tiny-http at the moment,
with two invocations from the same machine,
          one IE and one Firefox.
    2. is my doing things in a setXxx: just "wrong"?
    3. am I missing something totally?

Hi,

I'm using VW 7.5 to do some Seaside work.  Here's the version info:

  VisualWorks®, Pre-Release 7.5 (apr06.1) of April 26, 2006

So, I'm trying to set the default SMTP server so I can use the MailMessage
class to send email.  When I send the message I get a popup that says: "You
need to update Tools->Network Setting.. for default outgoing mail server."

I cannot seem to figure out where to do this.  If I look under the Tools
menu in the Transcipt or at the Systems->Settings view I see nothing for
messages or mail, etc.

Is there a cross platform way for VW to get this kind of information from
the OS?

Thanks,

You need to load the NetConfigTool package and set in
System->Setting->Net a mail server.

Thanks!  That was quick.  I did think to look at what parcels weren't loaded
and that did it for me only after my post.  I thought I had everything I
needed just because MailMessage and NetClient were loaded.  Oops.  :-/

Now it works.  I *love* Smalltalk!

I'm going to need to support serial communications in my VisualWorks
application for Windows, Mac and Linux.  I'd be interested in comments
from anyone who has experience on any or all of these platforms.

Thanks,

Hi, Carl,

there was a package (only for the windows platform) done by Travis.
I used it long time ago (around 5.x ).
If I'm not worng, the name is NTOSSupport or something close.

Ciao

Giorgio

Hi Carl,

Load parcel Serial.pcl (Goodies/parc), it has support for Linux and Win,
I don't know about Mac.

Best regards
Janko

I'm thoroughly jet-lagged at the moment, however my first guess would be that this is related to you using "name" as an attribute name, and that this doesn't agree with the way the objects involved in tag processing think of name. I know that <cg:form name="abc" > will create a tag occurrence object which has a name that is "form". Their internal idea of a name ought not conflict with an attribute, but I can imagine that it might. If using a different attribute name than "name" helps, that would support my theory.

I also suspect that doing things in a setXYZ method might not be optimal. Why not just do it at the beginning of the doStart method, or somewhere similar. But that might also just mask other symptoms of the same problem.

I've created AR 50948 for this.
