Hi,
is it possible to

a) put the WebObjects 5.4 Frameworks into another folder
b) put the WebObjects 5.3 Frameworks from another server into the default folder

Yes, we have done this and it seems to work OK using the 5.3 frameworks. However, the installation on which we did this is not using Wonder. Have a look at this extract from a post to the WO-Dev list from Mike Schrag in October 2007. The thread is titled: 'The Official What-I-Did-To-Run-5.3-On-Leopard Post'.

* The following can be done a couple ways, but this is just how I happened to have things setup in betas, so I kept it (it worked for me):

** Make a /System/Library/Frameworks/WebObjects54 folder, and move the following frameworks from the 5.4 install into it:

JavaDTWGeneration.framework

JavaDirectToWeb.framework

JavaEOAccess.framework

JavaEOApplication.framework

JavaEOControl.framework

JavaEODistribution.framework

JavaEOGeneration.framework

JavaEOInterface.framework

JavaEOInterfaceCocoa.framework

JavaEOInterfaceSwing.framework

JavaEOProject.framework

JavaEORuleSystem.framework

JavaEOTool.framework

JavaFoundation.framework

JavaJDBCAdaptor.framework

JavaJNDIAdaptor.framework

JavaWOExtensions.framework

JavaWOJSPServlet.framework

JavaWebObjects.framework

JavaWebServicesClient.framework

JavaWebServicesGeneration.framework

JavaWebServicesSupport.framework

JavaXML.framework

** Make a /System/Library/Frameworks/WebObjects53 folder, and move the following frameworks from your old 5.3 install into it (I tar'd these up from 5.3 before upgrading, but you can download 5.3 and extract these from the pkg, or POSSIBLY install them with the actually installer ... YMMV on that one)

JavaDTWGeneration.framework

JavaDirectToWeb.framework

JavaEOAccess.framework

JavaEOApplication.framework

JavaEOCocoa.framework

JavaEOControl.framework

JavaEODistribution.framework

JavaEOGeneration.framework

JavaEOInterface.framework

JavaEOInterfaceCocoa.framework

JavaEOInterfaceSwing.framework

JavaEOProject.framework

JavaEORuleSystem.framework

JavaEOTool.framework

JavaFoundation.framework

JavaJDBCAdaptor.framework

JavaJNDIAdaptor.framework

JavaWOExtensions.framework

JavaWOJSPServlet.framework

JavaWebObjects.framework

JavaWebServicesClient.framework

JavaWebServicesGeneration.framework

JavaWebServicesSupport.framework

JavaXML.framework

** I then use the following two scripts to be able to switch between using 5.3 and 5.4 system wide:

bash-3.2# cat wo53

for framework in `ls /System/Library/Frameworks/WebObjects53`; do rm /System/Library/Frameworks/$framework; ln -sf /System/Library/Frameworks/WebObjects53/$framework /System/Library/Frameworks/$framework; done

bash-3.2# cat wo54

for framework in `ls /System/Library/Frameworks/WebObjects54`; do rm /System/Library/Frameworks/$framework; ln -sf /System/Library/Frameworks/WebObjects54/$framework /System/Library/Frameworks/$framework; done

** At this point, you should have NO WO frameworks in /System/Library/Frameworks -- they should be in subfolders.

** Now go ahead and run wo53, which should now give you WO 5.3 framework symlinks

and thus run WebObjects 5.3 on this server without any reinstall and being able to switch
back to WO 5.4 in the future without a reinstall.

Will wotasked and Monitor work correctly in this scenarion?
Or do I need to substitute them as well?

Will ths startup mechanism of that server regarding WebObjects work as expected?

Anyone who has tried this before?

Regards,

Ute
