ifNil supported?

I'm seeing "isNil ifTrue" and similar constructs.
Are ifNil and friends not available on all supported swazoo platforms?

Thanks,
s.

Exactly. Or at least were not until recently. In any case it is more
safe not to use them.

#ifNil: is fine unless you support some platforms that Seaside
doesn't. When in doubt do as Seaside does and write a test that
documents your assumptions about the underlying platform. This way by
running all tests you also test your assumptions.

Speaking of portability there is a lot of Swazoo code that seems to be
written for VW. A good example is code that assumes #new does not send
#initialize. Well on Squeak it does. This results in Swazoo object
creation behaving differently under VW and Squeak. Instances of Site
for example receive #initialize thrice (3 times !) upon creation in
Squeak.

Cheers

This #initialize mess would be nice to be cleaned up. Stefan, have you
maybe some time to try that?

This is indeed true for the code is in the older branch of the HTTP
server.  The Hyper branch was specifically set up to be portable, and
was set up to be part of Swazoo before Janko made version one ... but
excluded Hyper keeping the old non-portable code.

You can use Hyper HTTP library with Swazoo today if you wish.  It was
always tested along side the Swazoo resource management code, even
though we never used that for OpenSkills.

All the best,
