Prerequisites
- ObjectStudio 6.1 or 6.2
- ObjectStudio Request Broker
- VisualWorks 5i
This demo is designed to run with both VMs on the same Windows machine. Conceivably, you could rewrite this to retrieve the IORs across the network using HTTP.
Installation
- ObjectStudio
- Unzip VwOsDemoOS.zip under your ObjectStudio home directory into a directory named "VwOsDemo".
- Load the vac_app.txt application.
- VisualWorks
- Use the DST_Install parcel to install DST
- Load the VwOsDemo parcel
- Select "Tools->VisualWorks to ObjectStudio Demo" to start the demo.
- Enter ObjectStudio's home directory path. (You can customize the default by editing the
VwOsDemo.DistributedDemoApplicationModel>>iorRootDefault method.)
Notes
Note that there is absolutely no business logic on the VisualWorks side. It is all recycled from ObjectStudio.
Caveats
Currently, there very little error checking. Also, the distributed objects on the ObjectStudio side are maintained in a WeakDictionary, so they disappear after several garbage collects. (Typically about a minute.) This is simply a demonstration of capability, not a fully featured application.
