In my quest to get more than one tool working in one image, I built another image. This time I started with a Pier download (today, June 10, 2012) one-click image, and simply attempted load the DBXTalk. Reading straight from the DBXTalk Documentation page (http://dbxtalk.smallworks.com.ar/Documentation). See below. The Pier-based image did not mask the problems I was having in the Pharo1.4 w/Zinc based image, and so I was able to debug the problems related to #asComponent, so that #asComponent works on DBXTalk built classes. Hence the changes to DBXTalk of the former post. However, when the changes are put into my Pharo1.4/zinc/DBXTalk/seaside image, still, nothing is rendered for the "... asComponent addValidatedForm" -- at least I can move forward with my interfaces by using the Pier image. Unfortunately, Fuel does not work in this Pier based image, so I still have the situation where different images allow me to do different combinations, but not one that allows me to operate my application completely. (Maybe if i put my head in the sand the problems will go away... ?) -Cam - The loading script for DBXTalk - Gofer it squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfOpenDBXDriver'; load.
