We disovered a problem with vertical text alignment on buttons, this will be addressed in RC4

[studiomiazzo]

hi we got a lot of problems while displaying our forms in webclient.
in particular we have problems with labels, tabpanel and buttons.
we hope rc4 will be out soon cause application is almost unusable.

[jasantana]

After upgrading RC3 I have many errors because two modules in one solution have some duplicated medias. It did not happen in RC2.

yes and you just need to fix that. Because those are what it say they are, duplicates so 1 name could point to different images, so which one you think you will have?

You are referring to visual problems as I described for buttons?
Because we are not aware of other problems, if something else please file a support case.

OK Johan I understand that, but those modules are both in this solution and at the same time one is a module of another solution and the other is a module of another solution. I need to keep those medias in both modules because of that. I thought that the media name was solutionName.mediaName as it is shown in the property.

Should I create a module just to keep medias that could be used in many solutions? Would that be the best way to get this done?

[jcompagner]

if module1 and module2 both have the same images (as names)
and they are sometimes used together, sometimes used separate then yes you should create module3 that holds there common stuff.

I´m getting this error in the server log when lauching Servoy:

Hi Servoy,

I am seeing a lot of these errors in my Server Log after updating to RC3:

Code: Select all

2011-07-13 10:10    Worker-5    ERROR    com.servoy.j2db.util.Debug    Index found on non-existent column 'null'?
2011-07-13 10:09    main    ERROR    com.servoy.j2db.util.Debug    Index found on non-existent column 'null'?
2011-07-13 10:09    main    ERROR    com.servoy.j2db.util.Debug    Index found on non-existent column 'null'?
2011-07-13 10:09    DLTK indexing    ERROR    com.servoy.j2db.util.Debug    Index found on non-existent column 'null'?


What is causing this and what needs to be done to fix that? The server log is basically flooded with these...

[jcompagner]

That is code that ask the table for its pk columns. But it seems that in your case the ResultSet.getString("COLUMN_NAME"); returns a null..
What is your database setup?

Using for development MS SQL 2008 local server. All tables have PKs. We do use database views as well and for them we need to manually set in Servoy a "fake" PK (this is actually something which Servoy should look at - database views may not have "unique record key" combination so we are forced currently to add "fake" columns to the views just to make them usable in Servoy)

There were no database schema changes between RC2 and RC3

[jcompagner]

no there was a change in this area by servoy, when you have multiply pk's in 1 table, that the order of the pk's is kept.

But i guess we hit against a schema where the resulset data doesn't have a column name right there.
Will see if we can reproduce this.

Not sure if this will help, but looking at the warnings and errors in Servoy Developer, there are no errors and the only warnings displayed are related to missing or incorrect JSDoc comments - nothing related to the dbi files or the database itself.

One more issue which we are seeing in RC3:

We have a label with an image which used to work fine before both in SC and WC. The text for the label uses HTML and is (this was our workaround to keep the image and text together on the web client):

Code: Select all

<html><body><img src="media:///home.png" height="16px" width="16px"><span style="display: inline;">&nbsp;Home</span></body></html>

After updating to RC3, the Smart Client still shows the image correctly, however in the Web Client it displays the actual HTML code (see attached screen-shots)
