I'm in the midst of a rather large chunk o' Cocoa/Java development
work. Java only because the application suite is an interface to a
good sized JavaSpaces/JINI back end.
So far, so good. Cocoa/Java generally "just works". I have run
across the occasionally memory management "oddity" that seems to have
been solved by creating an NSMutableArray instance into which I shove
all of my objects that I really do not want to disappear during the
lifespan of the window/tab/app/whatever.
Anyone come up w/an efficient way to deal with IB's inability to parse
outlets out of Java source? With ObjC, one can always just reparse the
header. With Cocoa/Python, the runtime dynamically defines
outlets/actions based on the contents of the NIB file. With
Cocoa/Java, not so nice...
I'm thinking of shoving all of the outlets into an abstract super and
have a concrete sub that implements the "business logic" -- that way, I
can add outlets to the abstract super and regen at will.
I really wish IB/PB had the same tightly bound interaction of Web
Objects Builder and IB. It is but a few XML RPC (not XML-RPC) calls
away... ;-)
