EOFFixtures.framework

=====================

Overview

--------

This is a small framework that allows using YAML files to populate WebObjects/EOF based applications.

 

I found this really useful for the following use cases:

* Development

* Initial users for newly deployed applications

* Marketing/demo deployments

 

A reference of the YAML markup language can be found here: [YAML Reference](http://www.yaml.org/).

Inspired by the fixtures mechanism in the [Play! framework](http://www.playframework.org/).

 

Usage

-----

* Add EOFFixtures to your WebObjects/WOnder application's build path (as a WebObjects framework in Eclipse).

* Create a YAML file (default name is fixtures.yaml, you can change this via the EOFFixtures.fileName property) in your Resources folder.

    (For an example see the FixturesClient project.)

* In your application's Properties, set "EOFFixtures.loadInitialData" to true or manually call Fixtures.load().

* Pro-tip: Using different Properties.username files, you can define different fixtures for different environments.

* To build this as a framework, you have to set ${scala.home} to your Scala install dir

* Use the custom timestamp tags to ease the creation of NSTimestamp

 * !now for the current date (aka `new NSTimestamp()`)

 * !ts to create a calculated timestamp, in the format ` `, for example `!ts +3 days`, `!ts -3 weeks`, `!ts -1 month`.
