[vwnc] VW7.6 experience ...
Locked
 
|
We just moved to VW7.6 (from VW7.4.1), including use with Gemstone.
There were a few things I had to change - methods moved from WebSite to WebSiteConfiguration - window type postedMenu no longer seems to close using a normal application close invocation -- we use this type of window - inspector icons were a significant issue with objects with references to objects on gemstone as each would be visited to find out the class of the value. Inspectors could take up to 30sec to open. However we were able to override in our inspector subclasses, due to the foresight in the design Overall the experience was a good one, we had not serious problems.

So you didn't run across any senders of dictionary collect in your code? I had to use an an expression probe for the duration of the test run to make note of our own usage, but may find more when we deploy if there are any left outside of test scope. The other big change for us in addition to what you list was new Seaside. The rest were pretty minor things like runtime packager class renames and rb code tool changes. _______________________________________________ vwnc mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwnc |

We had lots of overridden system methods, had to change a few but not much -- even had to delete quite a few because things had been "fixed" or "changed enough".

[vwnc] Tracing Smalltalk Code
|
|
Hello list, I am wondering if there is a way of tracing/viewing ALL messages
sent by an application in a given moment within VW 7.4.1. Is this possible? The
reason I want to do that is because I need to find out how a given minimized
window is being restored (expanded). I tried to trace classes sending dispatchTo:,
#expand, etc. messages to no avail. TIA, Roberto _______________________________________________ vwnc mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwnc |

Roberto Because everything is a message send you
do not want to trace “all” messages sent by an application.
Instead, you can do stack dumps of messages being received. In the case of figuring out how a window
is being restored you need to find a method that is received by
either your application or the window when it is restored. Then you can
either use a breakpoint or you can dump the send stack to a
watchpoint window. Using a watchpoint window is recommended when a
breakpoint could cause system problems. You can load the watchpoint code for
generating a stack dump from vw\pdp\watchlib.st. Additionally, the pdf
docs have a description of how to use watchpoints. Terry From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Roberto Fonseca Hello list, I am wondering if
