Castle and workflow foundation

Posted October 31st, 2006 at 6:27 am
Yesterday I had to implement workflow in an application. I had never used it before, and kind of feared that it was going to take me a couple of days to get the hang of it. Well 2 hours later I had my test workflow going so it isn't hard at all. If I can do it in that amount of time I'm sure many of you can beat me. Now I wanted to host the workflow runtime in my container and this is how I went about it: I made 2 wrapper properties in a settings class : public static class SeshatAppSett...

Yesterday evening I installed Ubuntu linux because i want something where i can run mono on that is not running on a windows OS. Lately I've got this thing that I want my apps to work cross-platform etc. So I've been looking into linux type of OS'es. The two I like are suse and ubuntu now. Don't really care much about redhat never have. In my life as an IT professional I've worked with several linux distributions. I don't know if mandrake is still around but those guys were my first linux inst...

First off I am not going to link to them in this post because that would be like free advertising. A couple of months ago I took 2 domainname accounts with them and ever since they have been sending me emails every couple of days telling me i need to upgrade my account to some super hosting plan they provide. I don't need the friggin hostiing because I have my own server running. Their constant emailing has made me classify them into a folder that doesn't show up in my unread mails. So the lates...
Base4 and Castle… the controller

The next bit for pages in general is that often they represent a list. Often this list is a really long list that you'd like to page through. I put this functionality into a generic base controller class. The whole idea of my set up is to provide a technique called progressive enhancement of forms. In short you create an application that works completely without javascript using hyperlinks for gets and submit buttons etc. Then you attach some css selector classes to the different bits of fu...
Base4 and Castle … The service

UPDATE: THE SERVICE CLASS HAS CHANGED AGAIN.Scratch the update.. it assumes that the object is already in the database which isn't always the case. For this type of synchronisation to work I need some more time. So I reverted this back to the old version This post continues my previous posts on using base4 and castle together. I'm sorry but there is no Active record in the base4 way of doing things. The previous posts you would be intrested in can be found here : Hosting base4 inside your web a...
Base4 on Castle continued… The facility

Much of what I'm going to show today has been borrowed from Alex Henderson on the storage facility. This post continues the hosting base4 inside your web application post To integrate base4 in castle you can register either components or create a facility which allows it to hook into some bits of the castle life-cycle. It doesn't make such a big difference when actually writing code except for the fact that you have transactions managed by castle, caching etc practically for free. The ObjectTran...
No post yesterday I was moving from team foundation to subversion

Posted October 16th, 2006 at 6:35 am
I was using Team foundation workgroup edition for the past year to manage collaborating with a couple of people. And the other stuff you use team foundation for. I like Team foundation a lot but unfortunately am not rich enough to buy licenses for everybody that needs to log bugs etc. To avoid all those licensing issues we have switched over to a combination of open source packets.The total cost of the operation is about 450NZD for unlimited licenses. So what is the setup : Subversion as so...
