Servoy 3.5 rc 4

ryanparrish:
We have been playing with 3.5rc4 for about a week and today all of a sudden the smart client can’t find the repository. After the smart client launches it never pops up the dialog box asking what solution to open, and if we try to open the solution by going through the menu the list is blank.

This is on a linux server where we run developer via X11 and developer works just fine, just the smart client stopped working. The only messages we have in the log are about column names being being too long, but we have had those messages since 2.1 or so.

Any pointers on how to get around this? Is this a know bug?

Definetely not ‘known’. Our own site, front and backoffice run on this version (on FreeBSD sort of similar to Linux in some ways) and it runs without problems.

Checklist:

  • Delete webstart cache
  • Check firewalls blocking 1099
  • turn debugging on on server and client and read logfiles: they should list what is going on
  • Upgrade to windows
    ok ok the last one was just a joke!

Assuming you rmi on the default 1099 port, what do you get if you do this:

telnet crm.servoy.com 1099

[replace crm.servoy.com with your hostname/IP] It should connect if it doesn’t either your IP is not accessible, it might be firewalled or servoy is not listening on 1099 (config?)
