Converting Direct To Web Projects

Since the D2W components are now public, the Java source files, the Main.wod file, and the rule files have changed in this release. Two tops scripts are provided to ease the conversion process.

The first script, located in $(NEXT_ROOT)/Developer/Java/Conversion/WebObjects/ D2W4_5codechanges.tops , modifies the code to conform to Direct to Web's API changes (see the What's New in WebObjects document for more information). You need to execute it on

all code generated by releases of Direct to Web earlier than 4.5
the project's Main.wod file

A ReadMe file in the script's directory explains how to execute the script.

The second script, located in $(NEXT_ROOT)/Developer/Java/Conversion/WebObjects/ D2W4_5modelchanges.tops , modifies the rule files to use renamed property-level components. You need to execute it on all files in your project ending in .d2wmodel . See the ReadMe file in the script's directory to see how to execute the script.
