All about plugins for 4D

Ronri Kobo, Inc. releases JExternal 6.0.1

JExternal 6.0.1 is now available for download.

JExternal is a 4D plug-in to execute Java methods from within 4D. JExternal enables you to use many useful Java libraries in 4D. In this new version, JDBC_ORACLE_CURSOR is added as a JDBC constant in order to call Oracle stored procedures using Ref Cursor.

If you use JEX_JDBCDemo_601, which is a demo of JExternal 6.0.1, you can call Oracle stored procedures using Ref Cursor and get cursors as the result. In JEX_JDBCDemo_601, an example method EXAMPLE_CODE_17 was added to explain how to call Oracle stored procedures using Ref Cursor and get the results. The Java source code of the class library JDBCDemo_200.jar used in this demo is open. Oracle 10g and 11g, and JDBC driver ojdbc6.jar were used for the test.

Win32API beta – call for beta testers

OrchardSoftHello, Win32API users!

We have a beta release of a 64-bit version of the plug-in for those who
are interested. If you’d like to help test it, please drop me an email
and I’ll send it to you.

We’ve removed a lot of legacy code and updated it to use the most recent
version of the 4D plug-in API. There seem to be a lot of bugs in the new
API, but we’ve worked around all that we’ve found so far. So even on
32-bit, I could use some testers.

For those of you who write complex 4D plug-ins and manage to get them
working, I salute you.

Jeff

JobOrder – The Ultimate Shell

JobOrder

New programming shell for 4D

When discussing software shells, the common definition is that a programming shell “does nothing, but it does it very well”.  We are pleased to offer a unique alternative, a programming shell that “does almost everything crucial to managing project-based organizations and does those things very well”.

For the past 15 years we have been developing JobOrder, our 4D OEM Vertical Market Application.  JobOrder software manages planning, estimating, scheduling, billing, accounting, analyzing and reporting for project-based organizations.  Because we deal with a wide range of industries, such as Advertising, Architecture, Construction, Consulting, Design, Engineering, and Job Shops, JobOrder has been optimized to allow the straightforward addition of new tables, views, and reports.

Recently we have realized that our code may be useful to other 4D developers who want to tackle large projects but don’t have the required time or staff to program. But, if you begin your project with the JobOrder source code already polished and ready to run in 4D v12.1, you can give your customers far greater value than by programming from scratch.
