Leopard and SaaS

Classic Servoy
1

c3net is an SaaS model service for small to medium sized nonprofit organizations. I recently watched someone open up our solution using a brand new MAC with Leopard. The solution went totally nuts.

Potential new customers coming to our web site and then installing c3net are going to give us up as a very bad solution. That word will spread. What do we do? Just inform anyone trying us out that, “Oh, by the way, c3net won’t work on Leopard?”

I see from many posts that this problem has been around for a while. What is the solution?

Please give a little more info about the issues you are having. Some may be known, such as the login window being too small and partly cutting off the password field… I run one of my solutions on Servoy 4.0, with a few issues – some now fixed by the Servoy team – others caused by problems with my code – but impression so far is that Servoy 4.0 will run a lot better on Leopard Macs.

Hi Kurt,

Servoy 3.5.6 runs really nice ( a flew glitches) on Leopard (best with the java 6 update for leopard)

with servoy 3.1x and lower a solution is to use the Kunstoff LAF.

Hi Kurt,

I personally work on Leopard and I run Servoy applications from different providers the whole day. As other posters point out it would be good if you can make your post more specific.

A bit friendlier would help as well, everybody here on the forum (and at Servoy Support as well) is ready to help you.

My apologies if I sounded a bit piqued. One of our sales people recorded this using a JING video:

I don’t know how to describe exactly what happened as you can see. Forms opening in a weird way and taking forever to open the solution.

We are currently on 3.1.8 and are just about to go to 3.5. Perhaps we should just get that done if that will solve the problem.

Thanks for your responses. K

Upgrading to 3.5.x will solve this. Apple introduced a bug in their default java implementation on Leopard that we wrote a specific fix for in the 3.5 branch. Unfortunately we cannot back-port it into Servoy 3.1. 3.5 will also give you increased performance so it will be well worth the upgrade.
