I have a requirement to change the wording of the WebSpeed message 'Unable to find web object file foo.p'. This comes from web-util.p, so, I believe I need to make a slightly customized version of this file.
The trick is, I really don't want to meddle with the Progress-supplied version which resides in /usr/dlc. I would rather override it with a web-util.p that lives in our proprietary code directory.
From looking around it seems like placing a web-util.r in the PROPATH ahead of /usr/dlc/tty/web/objects should work, but it's not working ....
This is a bit tricky to figure out given that web-util.r is actually run from webstart.p, the source code of which is not supplied, so I don't know exactly how it's referencing it.
I was wondering if I could do something along the lines of an SUPER procedure override, but I'm not very familiar with how that works. Stefan ... ?
Bottom line, I want my own version of web-util.r to run in place of the Progress one, and I want to achieve this without touching the Progress install (which is basically impossible in our environment).
Any advice appreciated.
