This is a simple blog app that is being created in the spirit of updating the blog application created in the 'WO in 15 minutes' movie made by Jonathan ‘Wolf’ Rentzsch.

SimpleBlog has been designed to showcase ERModernLook development as well as demonstrate some lesser known page level and property level components available to the D2W developer in ERModernLook and the broader ERD2W framework. I hope it will eventually show the progression of building up and customizing a D2W application. Emphasis will be on building up the administrative interface.

ERRest integration is being added to show how it might be used to create a front-end with several desirable features such as nice URLs.

SimpleBlog depends on ERModernDirectToWeb modifications that are currently located in my Wonder fork but may end up in Wonder proper.

SimpleBlog depends on a H2 database. The file H2 uses is located in /tmp which will be deleted on restart. You may want to change the property to point to a more permanent location if you want the database to persist.

You may want to change your properties file to point to a database from a different vendor.

The database will start up with a user with login credentials:

username: test password: test

You will need to change the build.properties file to point to your installation of Wonder/WebObjects frameworks. It is currently:

wolips.properties=/Developer/WebObjects/Versions/WebObjects543/wolips.543.properties
