Can someone please point me to the documentation on how to register my apps when using Zinc & Seaside? And/or advise me on how to proceed. Thanks in advance.
1. I started with a clean Pharo-1.4. I pulled in Seaside, and some of my class DpFnSeriesProcessorReportQuery.
2. Then I manually started Zinc via ZnServer vi "ZnServer startDefaultOn: 8080".
Opening a browser gave me the default Zinc page(s).
3. Later (after struggling to get my app registered) I spotted the Seaside Control Panel on the menu, I did a "ZnServer shutDown". Followed by opened the Seaside control panel.
4. In the Seaside control panel I added the Zinc Adaptor, and clicked the "Start" button.
Opening a browser gave me the familiar Seaside intro/config pages. But minutes later... it was back to the Zinc default pages. [Perhaps I had another pharo-seaside image running ... and didn't notice??]
5. I stopped & started the server through the Seaside control panel, but I still get the zinc pages.
The main Zn documentation can be found at http://zn.stfx.eu more specifically http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/zinc-http-components-paper.html and http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/zn-talk-pharo-conference.pdf Your issue is that you are confusing/mixing two things: a plain ZnServer and ZnZincSeasideAdaptor. If you are a regular Seaside user, there is no need to start a low level ZnServer. Use the Seaside control panel to start a ZnZincSeasideAdaptor (which will automatically start and manage a ZnServer behind the scenes). Or do it programmatically, as any Seaside adaptor: ZnZincServerAdaptor startOn: 8080. Your point 5 is because you started the default ZnServer which is registered/managed automatically. You only did a shutDown, not a stop. After an image save it will automagically come up again. You can get rid of it by doing ZnServer stopDefault. All this is in the documentation.
