[19:34] <liamMT> hiya - can anybody point me to some info on setting up and running a hello world helma ng app (not on app engine)? I've git cloned and built the latest from github, but haven't found too much info on how to get started playing around
[20:05] <gozala> hannes I noticed that since last change to Response.js I can't set status to the responce
[20:05] <gozala> http://helma.pastebin.com/d11c5ce67
[20:05] <gozala> I added this lines in order to get it back but it still does nothing
[20:06] <gozala> Is there something special I can't see or ?
[21:29] <hannesw__> gozala: your code should be working.
[21:34] <hannesw__> gozala: I think this is a rhino bug that has been fixed in cvs recently...
[21:35] <hannesw__> it's because HttpServletResponse only has a setter and no getter.
[21:35] <hannesw__> trying to update rhino now...
[22:21] <gozala> hannes: funny thing is that getter works while setter doesn't
[22:25] <gozala> One more question I'm trying to figure out how render works cause I want to add alternative rendering engine
[22:25] <gozala> there is a function getResource
[22:26] <gozala> and I guess but can't get who is this ?? in the skin module ??
[22:27] <gozala> oh it's global
[22:37] <zumbrunn> liamMT: have you played around with the demo and storage apps?
[22:37] <zumbrunn> starting out by looking at their code and reducing them to a simple "hello world" would be one way to approach it
[22:37] <liamMT> zumbrunn: found those shortly after I asked my question earlier...feeling a little silly :)
[22:37] <liamMT> yeah - those are exactly what I was looking for
[22:37] <liamMT> thanks
[22:52] <hannesw__> gozala: i figured it out - if you define a property as readony (the default for ScriptableObject.defineProperty) - then you can't set it even if a setter is defined
[22:52] <hannesw__> probably a bug in rhino, but I have to check some more.
[22:52] <hannesw__> thanks for noting
[23:49] <hannesw__> gozala: the problem is fixed in svn/git
[23:49] <gozala> hannesw__: np by the way I'm kind of enjoying hacking helma
[23:49] <hannesw__> that's good!
[23:49] <gozala> so I would be happy to contribute
[23:50] <hannesw__> you do!
[23:50] <gozala> just it would be nice to have a roadmap or direction
[23:50] <hannesw__> note that the name for getters and setters in Object.defineProperty() changed
[23:50] <hannesw__> from getter/setter to get/set (as required by the coming EcmaScript 3.1 spec)
[23:51] <hannesw__> yes, roadmap woud be nice, i agree.
[23:51] <hannesw__> I'll try.
[23:51] <gozala> Cool
[23:51] <hannesw__> the basic roadmap is:
[23:51] <hannesw__> as soon as the web framework is finalized put out 0.3
[23:52] <gozala> cause I don't want to write a lot and found later that it's completely opposite from the plan
[23:52] <gozala> :)
[23:52] <hannesw__> write what?
[23:52] <hannesw__> code or text?
[23:52] <gozala> code
[23:52] <hannesw__> i see
[23:56] <gozala> BTW I was wondering about jack
[23:56] <hannesw__> well roadmaps can be dangerous for this kind of very open-end projects
[23:56] <gozala> is it something helma is going to use internally ?
[23:56] <hannesw__> but I'll try to get one together
[23:57] <gozala> or it's an alternative way
[23:57] <gozala> Well it don't needs to be a roadmap might you can just drop me some task I can work on
[23:58] <gozala> like request / response rarefactoring for example
[23:59] <hannesw__> the new web framework will be more like jack in terms of the app being called with one request object and returning a response object
[23:59] <hannesw__> and i really like the jack response object - an array with status code, headers, body
