Thanks for the clarification Michael. Having never worked in WO I didn't
know...I do know I wish we had EOF in PB/IB!

Part of my current job is maintaining a WO 4.5 multi-instance java
application that talks to database through a server written in WO 4.5
objC with PDO. What makes it hell is a) that not all of the
functionality of PDO works across the bridge, b) exceptions and stack
traces usually get lost across the bridge, making it difficult to
figure out where the app is crashing, and c) the bridge has some
flakiness when you're using java from ObjC where it will sometimes
clobber the stack. Also, for example, adding a function to a bridged
java class with the signature myFunction (WOApplication anApp) makes
that class unusable across the bridge -- even if the function is empty
and never called. Have never taken the time to figure out why; that
kind of low-level mucking around holds little interest for me.
Of course on top of all that the sucker is deployed by a hugely
over-complicated build system originally invented to deploy apps to
machines in a "clean-room" environment, that takes close to an hour to
run.
Sigh.
Slowly we're rebuilding this thing in pure java, but in the meantime --
hell.
