[ome-users] OMEROcpp - API changes for version 4.4.4

[John Webber (NBI)]

Hi,

Please can anyone let me know where to find details of the API changes for the OMEROcpp from version 4.3 to version 4.4?

We have an application developed for an  old version of Omero Server (4.3) which no longer works with the latest version of Omero (4.4.4). Would anyone be able to advice where there were any major changes to the API for OMEROcpp between these two versions, and where I might be able to find this information?

Thanks
John

Hi,

The omero loading / saving code is all contained in this class:
https://cmpdartsvr1.cmp.uea.ac.uk/banghamlabSVN/VolViewer/VolViewer/VolViewer/src/OMEROLoader.cpp

Also you may want to build as a console application, to see the full verbose/debug output from VolViewer.
This will help a lot.

No idea what changes are present in the 4.4.4 API, best ask the omero forums if any big changes have occured to the cpp API.

Hi Jerome,

How are you?

We have made some progress with the upgrade of the Omero server, but I do not believe that VolViewer will work with the latest version of Omero, without some changes.

I have now managed to get VolViewer working against my test version of the Omero server, using a set of Images that Samantha was able to provide for me.  I have three different installs of Volviewer running:  The 32bit and 64bit versions that I downloaded the binaries for from http://cmpdartsvr1.cmp.uea.ac.uk/wiki/BanghamLab/index.php/VolViewer#Download and also a version of VolViewer that I built from source using Microsoft Visual Studios 2008.  With all three installs, I am able to open images from either the Omero production server, or from my new Omero Test server.

I have subsequently followed the process to upgrade my test Omero server to the latest version of Omero (4.4.4) and now would like to test Volviewer against this version of Omero.  All three versions of Volviewer that I mentioned previously crash when I attempt to open an image, with the following  message:  "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

The 64bit version also had the following message when attempting to open an image from the upgraded server:  "QT has caught an exc eption through from an even handler.  Throwing exceptions from an even handler is not supported in Qt.  You must reimplement Qapplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there. "

I therefore build Volviewer again, this time linking it with the latest version of Omero (4.4.4) and using Visual Studios 2010 Command line.  The build works successfully, but this version also crashes when I attempt to open an image from the upgraded test Omero server.  This version does not issue any errors, but simply crashes and stops responding.

Are you aware of any changes that will need to be made to Volviewer in order to get it to work with the later version of Omero?

Thanks
John
