1. Sorry, can't see where the problem is in this one. However, EOModeler is by itself an extremely buggy program. Irritatingly so even. I am almost expecting it to crash every now and then, or just not to show a certain attribute or whatever... Hope they address this...

2. I think the problem is in you inserting your model and creating groups in the insertion process. Made the same mistake once. If I am understanding your problem right, this is the way to deal with it: say "Insert existing files" somewhere in your project, find your model, and when Xcode displays the next window, choose "Copy files..." switch box, choose to insert the file into the Application Server target, and choose to create folder references and NOT groups. Xcode will probably represent your model with a blue folder icon, but when you double click it he will open it in EOModeler, and will not report any mistakes in building.

In Xcode a yellow folder represents a group, and a blue one represents a folder reference. Since eomodeld files are bundles by nature (folders represented as files in the file system), Xcode will see them as folders, and unless you choose "create folder references" when inserting a model, he will interpret the eomodeld folder as a group and therefore will not be able to treat him properly.

Hope this helps
Cheers

All,

I'm hoping someone can help. I'm having 2 issues with WO:

1) EOModeler is behaving strangely: after having it snarf an existing mysql db to get tables, etc, when I switch to model view to connect my relationships, none of the fields in any of the tables is independently highlightable. It's as if the whole box representing the table is just one large static image. I can move it around as a whole, but not select a specific line. Interestingly enough, it doesn't seem to happen if I create the model from scratch.

2) No matter how I attempt to add an EOModel file into my project in Xcode, it gets inserted as a yellow folder. This, of course, means that Xcode thinks it's just another folder. I can't double-click on it to open EOmodeler. That in itself isn't that big a deal (just really inconvenient), but since Xcode doesn't seem to know that it's special, it doesn't get built right. When I run my app it can't find the model.

My environment:

Mac OS X Server 10.3.8 (although same behavior on 10.3.7)
Java 1.4.2_05-141.3
WebObjects 5.2.3 (although same behavior on 5.2.2)

I've completely uninstalled WO and reinstalled (well, as completely as the uninstaller and manual removal of apps allows). Twice. Nada.

On a side note, it seems that I've always had some strange issue or other with the WO dev environment in general (I've been using it sporadically since 4.5). Is it me or is it pretty fragile? Deployed apps are solid, but the tools seem to break in some way or another everytime I sneeze. I'm so paranoid about OS upgrades that I find myself using other tools, which is a real shame since WO (when it works) is so wonderful.

BTW, I also installed WO 5.2.3 on an iMac G5 (10.3.7 client) and had some symptoms of #2, but after I saved my model in EOModeler the first time AFTER inserting it into the project the icon in Xcode changed to the normal .eomodel icon and it's happy. No issue #1.

Ideas!?
