Problems Fixed

Corrected in EOF 2.2 Developer Patch 2

EnterpriseObjects examples Rentals data contains an invalid date value
Apple reference # 2323510

PROBLEM:
The data with which the Rentals database is populated in the EnterpriseObjects examples contained an invalid credit card expiration year, 2597. With SQL Server 7.0, Microsoft's ODBC Driver failed when trying to convert this date value to the smalldatetime type, causing the examples' install_database script to fail and the Rentals data to be incompletely installed.

RESOLUTION:
The problem date has been changed to a value within SQL Server 7.0's valid year range (1900-2079).

Corrected in EOF 2.2 Patch 1

Development tools may attempt to load an eomodel file twice for an application nested within an aggregate project
Apple reference # 2267783, 2176591

PROBLEM:
When an application was nested in an aggregate project, the development tools attempted, due to an error in the path searching code, to load an EOModel file twice .

RESOLUTION:
The logic used to locate model files now works correctly in the case of aggregate projects. Model files are loaded only once.

EOWizard not localizable
Apple reference # 2231705, 2177282

PROBLEM:
Certain resources needed for localization in EOWizard were not located in the correct place.

RESOLUTION:
Template files required for localizing the wizard have been moved from the framework's Resources directory to the ../Resources/English.lproj directory, making it possible to localize these resources.
