Hey Jason, All you need to do is run either of the two “create-multiple-sequences…” targets which will take a CSV and create the associated Event, Command and Delegate (optional).

See: http://code.google.com/p/cairngen/wiki/GettingStarted for details.

Best,
Eric

Eric, having issues with the VO objects I ran the create-value-object (I am using your CairngenExample with no modifications) and it generates one VO with the following constructor (see below).

public class Login,LogOut,CheckIn,CheckOutVO implements IValueObject
{
public function Login,LogOut,CheckIn,CheckOutVO() {
}
}

Thanks for the tips in the comments Eric, I managed to get your fine generator working after updating JRE (FlexBuilder uses an alternate JRE). It took me a bit to find that I needed to run the generate-sequences/vo tasks on their own, but after that it is off to the races. Cheers!

Michael – I had the exact same problem as you (I’m running OSX 10.4 and Eclipse 3.3.2). After doing a lot of hunting around, I found that you just need to include one additional file in your Ant lib directory which includes the LogFactory class. You can download it here: http://commons.apache.org/downloads/download_logging.cgi. Cairngen is now running perfectly on my machine.

I summarized the steps the I had to take on my blog: http://www.rphelan.com/2008/04/12/running-cairngen-on-a-mac/

Darren, your steps really helped. Erir thank you for putting this all together in the first place! Unfortunately I am running into a different issue now:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory

This is if I try to set it up to use it on a project already in progress and I don’t want to delete all the files. I will continue looking through the docs though as I probably missed something.

Thanks again!

Just tried what Darren suggested and it worked well so thanks for that and thanks Eric for Cairngen.

Hey Darren,

Thanks for resolving this issue. I simply haven’t had the time to look into some of the latest configuration issues. I do plan on publishing an updated release to Cairngen in the very near future so which should include in the release notes the resolutions to these issues so stay tuned!

For anyone interested, I’ve worked out how to get Cairngen running on Tiger. It probably works for Leopard too. It wasn’t easy as there’s no (official) JRE 1.6 available but now I’ve got there, it’s reasonably straightforward. You just have to add BSF, Rhino and Commons-Logging jars to your Ant classpath. Like so:

1. Download and copy bsf.jar and js.jar to your Ant lib directory. Get them here:

http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_bsf.cgi
http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/download.html

2. In Eclipse->Preferences->Ant->Runtime->Classpath, add the 2 jars above (Add External JARs button), as well as org.apache.commons.logging._*.jar (which should already be in your Eclipse plugins directory). I’ve added them to Ant Home Entries which works for me.

That’s really all there is to it. Then, as Eric says, you have to run the appropriate targets in your Ant build file if you want to create delegates, events, vo’s, etc. I couldn’t find an explanation as to the best way to do this so I just added the targets to line 63 of build.xml so it’s now:

depends=”log, create-model-locator, create-front-controller, create-service-locator, create-multiple-sequences-include-delegates, create-multiple-value-objects” />

I hope this helps.

By the way, thanks for all your awesome work on this Eric.

Cheers,
Darren.
