Hi Jean Francois,
Thank you. This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for.
I had already started to investigate subclassing EOApplication. But
the information you provide is very useful.
I do have one question on this though. I do understand that the
entry point is on the EOClientApplicationSupport class, but how is my
(subclass of) EOApplication associated with the
EOClientApplicationSupport application? Does the JavaClient component
on the server tell the WebObjects client which class to initialize as
its application?
I originally thought I would have to instantiate a new
EOClientApplicationSupport object, and pass that as a parameter to
EOApplication.startApplication(). However what you describe seems even
more straight forward than that.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Des,
I'm sorry that I had not answered your first post but I didn't know
about Jython and, actually, I didn't understand what you expected.
If you only need to develop a JavaClient application with no GUI, you
can create a new JavaClient projet. In the JavaClient component, you
should replace the "interfaceControllerClassName" line by the
following:
applicationClassName =
"fr.univlr.cri.convention.client.ApplicationClient";
where ApplicationClient is your client main class derived from
EOApplication. You can put your initialization code in
"finishInitialization()" which is called at launch time.
All the classes you need within the client are in
"JavaEODistribution.framework/WebServerResources/Java/
wojavaclient.jar" that bundles different packages.
The entry point for JavaClient applications is the
EOClientApplicationSupport class, so you could launch your application
by the following command line:
java -cp [your classpath]
com.webobjects.eoapplication.client.EOClientApplicationSupport
-applicationURL http://[your application URL]
From then on, the dialog with the application server in started.
Please, note that there are Java Client bugs with WO 5.2.3 so you
would prefer 5.2.1 or 5.2.2 (don't forget the patch) :-(.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Has anyone every built or seen a WO system with a java-based
command-line client? I'm curious to understand the minimal set of
client side EOF components I need use to create a very basic app
that talks to the server. E.g. An app with no GUI, that runs in a
shell and invokes a single simple remote method on the server that
returns a String, which in turn gets printed on System.out.
Does anyone know where I could find any examples of such a setup?
If that is all the functionality that you need, it sounds like you
don't need to use WO or EO on the client side.
Unfortunately its not. I'm trying to determine how to build a client
side Java library that can be used within the Jython scripting
environment. What I need is a non-GUI scripting based client. I
posted a more direct (but also more verbose) question to the list a
few days ago but didn't get any bites, so I thought I'd pare it back
a bit and try again from a different angle.
Cheers
Des
