Just upgraded to the most recent XCode/WO release, compiled
the HelloWorld WO sample.
When I run the app, the browser opens this URL:
http://x2.local:49763/cgi-bin/WebObjects/HelloWorld.woa
The slow startup is related to the URL above. Try replacing the
server name 'x2.local' with 'localhost'
What you have is the default 'Bonjour" server name. I don't know
why WebObjects defaults to this as it is unreasonably slow on a mid-
range Mac.
It's only unreasonably slow with a default setup. i.e., when using
Safari in Direct Connect mode.
Firefox, for example, will display the page immediately (as should
Safari) or any other browser.
Two easy fixes: either swap default browsers or develop in deployment
mode as follows...
1) In your Properties file put:
WODirectConnectEnabled=false
I also put the following so that I can keep the one url in a browser
open...
WOAutoOpenInBrowser=false
WOPort=55456
2) Make sure that the WebObjects startup item is running ( the
default install these days seems to have the startup-item's script
with the critical part of the script commented out. See the archives
for "deployment rather than development mode").
3) Build and run.
I develop on a MiniMac 1.42 with 1 GB. I upgraded the RAM as soon
as I bought it so I don't really know how it would have worked with
512MB but past experience suggest the extra ram improves the
experience. I consider it money well spent.
RAM is always good... but the above mentioned problem has nothing to
do with RAM or WebObjects, but Safari.
with regards,
