Block design mode

Classic Servoy
1

Is it possible to block the design mode, the editor etc…? I would like to block every possibility to make changes to the structure of my solution. The user should be able to change only the data.

In FileMaker you can set group security for that matter. In Servoy I could not find anything in the security, Is it possible to do it through a method?

Hi Irene,

You can export your solution with a (developer) password. This is a password separate from the Servoy security.
When imported into a repository it is fully protected from altering the source and exporting the solution again. You still can do all that but you have to type in the password.

Hope this helps.

Hello Robert,

thanks for the hint, I’ve exported the solution, works like magic. However importing is not magic. I get an error

com.servoy.j2db.persistence.RepositoryException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Unexpected element 'default_form

Any idea what this means ?

Not really sure. Did you retry exporting and importing again ?

Yes, several times. I also tried a clean import with the same result.

I have to say that this a consolidated database, however I can’t imagine that it makes a difference.

Is it a bug?

Not sure what you mean by this. Consolidated in what way ?

It could be.

Hi Robert,

thank you for trying to help.

We tried to synchronize a local database with the server. So we had to consolidate the database with MobiLink. MobiLink generates a couple of tables. However this affects only the data and shouldn’t affect the solution.

We tried the export/import from several computers with the same result.

May be is a good idea to report it as a bug in the support_system.

Hi,

Was this issue resolved, or it is just a hard to reproduce issue?

Mohamad,

Your solution could not be imported due to a issue in servoy.
This will be fixed in release 3.5.6.
