JADE Environment Development Ideas

When using JadeMethodContext awaiter the expectation is to call waitForMethods to "wait" with for the invoked task to complete. Because my task is a long running process, I have noticed the timer (created on the same instance that created the Jade...

Essentially the idea is to have a method like the create and delete methods that Jade calls as part of an edition change to a collection. The Collection objects have an Edition which is updated whenever a collection is changed, if as a result of t...

Frequently when I'm using the Find Class dialog (F4) the very next thing I do is navigate to a particular method on that class. It would be nice if the Find Class dialog could be extended to allow you to choose a method to navigate to after select...

Currently, the RPS log doesn't provide details when a datapump is halted due to SQL error. All we see is something like this: RDB ODBC Error: Update object;Sql execute - tranId: 130137982; oid: [2242.16291:19] rps: Sql: {? = call jadeAccountUpda...

In some languages there is a thing called an implicit statement. For example if you said "if object then", explicitly it doesn't make sense but implicitly we know it means if the object is defined. In Jade we can do implicit statements explicitly,...

Currently, FileNode::isAvailable tells me if the file exists AND can be opened with the requested mode. This can be a trap if I forget to set file mode to Mode_Input and the file is readonly, as it returns false even though the file exists. It wou...

Please provide a method which allows for a database server node to be halted and shutdown from within JADE itself. This would allow full automation of database halt in a portable fashion, enhancing the managability of JADE databases. This was appr...

It'd be useful if we had the option/ability to override the system 'global' reference at a process level for the purposes of automated testing. This would allow us to recreate 'global' as a transient instance which is populated in a known manner n...

Quite often I have seen a specification for XML using XSDs (XML Schema Definitions.) Not only does it contain the expected XML tags expected it usually contains rules, such as how many times a field is expected. Unfortunately as Jade developers we...

We have many cases where we need to check if some text is included in a String. We would use: if name.pos("smith",1) > 0 thenendif; It would be nice if there was an includesText() method on String so this could change to: if name.includesText("...
