This is awesome stuff. I am amazed you guys go this out so fast.

Now a question:

"make saving of a single record possible through databaseManager.saveData(...) during autosave disabled, it's possible to save a specific record"

Can you give an example? The move code shows databaseManager.saveData([record]). What is "[record]"? How does it know which table?

So I ran the update and it says my servoy version is "4.1.0 rc2ii build 649", is the rc2 stuff just a forgotten leftover, or did I not get the update properly?

Ryan,

It should read "Servoy version 4.1.0 -build 651".

I updated this morning using servoy_updater.jar and was left with this version.

You can keep re-running the update until it says there are no more updates. At that point you should be at the final version, build 651.

Yep, that was it. I forgot for a bit that the updater does staged upgrades.

Huge congratulations on 4.1 Servoy. This is close to the most exciting release since 1.0 in my opinion. Being right on the heels of moving to Eclipse with 4.0 it's a lot of Wow! in one year. Thanks! It's a lot of fun being a Servoy developer...pretty cool that.

We could have done a better job in the sample code..., here is a sample code snipped:
databaseManager.saveData(foundset.getRecord(1));

The record object knows to which table it belongs

I wanted to have Servoy 3.5.7 AND Servoy 4.1 running on 1 single machine.
I installed 4.1 in another directory than 3.5.7
That went well, but when installing 4.1 I selected the Windows Service option.
Because I wanted both servers running as a service.

Unfortunately my main service (3.5.7) is lost, because it was overwritten by the 4.1 installation.
Please provide possibility to have both services on the same server and even more important:

How can I reset my service back to the 3.5.7 version, because I can't change the path in the Windows Services properties.

Change in the servoy 3.5/service directory
the wrapper.conf to read the line: wrapper.ntservice.name=ServoyService35
Then execute in the servoy 3.5 directory
service\Wrapper.exe" -i "service\wrapper.conf"

Then you will have a ServoyService and a ServoyService35 in the windows services list

Jan,

I did the change that you wrote, but unfortunately it doesn't work. See screenshot.

[attachment=0]wrapper_error.jpg[/attachment]

What did I do wrong? The file exists wrapper.conf exists in that directory.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Fail to explain this, please give it a try inside the service dir then, with:
Wrapper.exe -i wrapper.conf
