<tiredbones> I've been looking at alot of the gfd files that come gnue and was wondering if you folks use any tools to put together the xml.From watching what goes across the irc here, not to many people are using gnue-designer.
<tiredbones> So, what tools due you use?
<dimas> appserver and vim
<tiredbones> thanks dimas. Is this what most people use with gnue?
<jcater> I use designer for form creation for the most part
<jcater> but vim to tweak forms
<dimas> tiredbones: after you loaded your schema from .gcd's you can use and save autogenerated forms on all classes
<tiredbones> jcater: do you create the block logic and do the datasources connection?
<dimas> gfcvs appserver://appserver/form/org_client?debug-file=generated/client.gfd
<jcater> I usually drag and drop from the Schema Navigator and have blocks/datasources automatically created
<jcater> but if you use appserver (I don't), then I guess the autogenerated forms might be nice
<tiredbones> dimas: I haven't done any read on appserver yet, So, are you say that appserver generates a form?
<dimas> yes
<dimas> each class you described in gcd is accessible right after you loaded it into appserver
<dimas> with url like in above and with ?debug-file option you could seve it in a file and extend
<dimas> save
<tiredbones> jcater: I'm trying to understand all the pieces here, so forgive my ignorance, but why do you not use appserver?
<jcater> historical reasons
<jcater> I have lots of legacy data that wouldn't cleanly fit in with appserver's philosophy without lots of rewriting/restructuring
<jcater> so I stick to 2-tier
<tiredbones> jcater: thanks for the reply.

<tiredbones> dimas: why did you decided to use 3-tier structure?
<dimas> because i have no that much legacy data around :)
<tiredbones> dimas: thanks for your reply.
<dimas> so it's easy for me and appserver provides some features i'd like to use
