Hi  
i tried to install the Bookstore app that Peter Nevermann produced (very nice for demos, not only for training 🙂 ) into an iPad and other simulators (Blackberry and Android). It worked fine for the latter, but not for the iPad.  
When doing the multi build i get the following exceptions:

-I/Users/Shared/webMethods/MobileDesigner/Applications/_BookstoreApp_/Test/Builds/AppleiPad/0.0.1/_bedrock_/_cpp\_edit_/ src/org/kxml2/io/KXmlParser.cpp -o build/org\_\_kxml2\_\_io\_\_KXmlParser.o  
[exec] src/org/kxml2/io/KXmlParser.cpp:1647: error: no ‘void org::kxml2::io::KXmlParser::KXmlParser\_globalStaticCreate()’ member function declared in class ‘org::kxml2::io::KXmlParser’  
[exec] src/org/kxml2/io/KXmlParser.cpp:1653: error: no ‘void org::kxml2::io::KXmlParser::KXmlParser\_globalStaticDestroy()’ member function declared in class ‘org::kxml2::io::KXmlParser’  
[exec] make: \*\*\* [build/org\_\_kxml2\_\_io\_\_KXmlParser.o] Error 1

is this a bug or is it that i cannot use the kxml parser for iPad apps?

many thanks  
Javier

Hi Javier,

I believe the application is including its own copy of the kxml source  
code, but Bedrock now supplies this library as one our pre-compiled libs  
for some platforms, so it’s got a dual-declaration conflict going on.

I haven’t had the opportunity to review the project yet, but I think  
some simple tweaks in the project xmls (or better automated fixes for  
this kind of problem) can be used to work around this issue.

Regards,

Nick.

Hi  
After making a small change in the _defaults_.xml (thanks to Peter Nevervann), I was able to build & install the app in an iPad.

Below the snippet I changed  
Many thanks for the help
