Frankly, I am not even sure how that inner zoneinfo.zip might get
used. If you deploy an application using J2EE and it is a Java
Client application and it manipulates dates in client-side code?
Does anybody who does a Java Client application use J2EE to deploy
it? Maybe. There is some weird stuff out there.
Yeah, I posted about that jar within a jar file earlier this month.
I also have no idea who might actually use it. However I find in
interesting that Apple's instructions for previous versions of WOF
doesn't mention updating it. Makes me wonder if it's there in the
5.2 and previous versions? I've un-installed and re-installed WOF on
my machine so much that I'm tired of doing it so I've not checked.
I have been thinking of writing something that can be run on a
machine with a WebObjects deployment that will answer the question
"What the heck is on this system?", which would identify the
versions of various WebObjects things that have gotten installed.
It looks as though this would be a useful question to have answered.
I'd be up for helping with this... Especially since so many things
can get be out of sync.
To get things started, anyone know the 'official' way to get the
version of zoneinfo.zip?
strings zoneinfo.zip | grep 2007
returns 2007a however I would not want to rely on that for the
version checker.
Also, I think that this should be written as a framework, with the
checks being accessible via direct actions. It could be quite useful
to check what a particular application instance is seeing, separate
from another application instance on the same machine. Especially
if the applications have custom launch flags which change the
behaviour or use the foo.woa/Contents/Extensions to specifically
load custom jar versions or a whole different version of WOF then the
rest of the machine for that matter.

Mark
