| - | ====== Folder structure ====== | + | == Folder structure == |
| To develop an application with JVx, a special folder structure is recommended. This simplifies the Build process and separates any dependencies between Client and Server. This structure is to be created as follows: | To develop an application with JVx, a special folder structure is recommended. This simplifies the Build process and separates any dependencies between Client and Server. This structure is to be created as follows: | ||
| + | {{:jvx:folders.png?nolink|}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | A conventional structure: | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{:jvx:folders_common.png?nolink|}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | can also be used on request. However, the documentation refers to the recommended structure. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^Folder^Description^ | ||
| + | |rad|Contains application- and server-specific files.| | ||
| + | |apps|Contains all available applications. Only one application is contained in this concrete example.| | ||
| + | |firstapp|Contains the application with project configuration, sources, libraries.| | ||
| + | |help|Contains the client (GWT) for the online help and help pages.| | ||
| + | |libs|Contains all libraries which are necessary both on the client and the server.| | ||
| + | |libs/client|Contains all libraries which are only necessary for the client.| | ||
| + | |libs/server|Contains all libraries which are only necessary for the server.| | ||
| + | |src.client|Contains all the sources which are only necessary for the client.| | ||
| + | |src.server|Contains all the sources which are only necessary for the server.| | ||
| + | |test|Contains unit tests for the client and server or the libraries.| | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once the folder structure has been created, copy the library jvxclient.jar to the folder libs/client and the library jvx.jar to the folder libs/server. Both libraries are contained in the JVx binary package. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Project configuration == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once the configuration steps have been performed, a new project can be created with Eclipse: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **File / New / Java Project** | ||
| + | * Note that the project has to be set up in the application folder firstapp. \\ {{:jvx:newproject.png?nolink|}} | ||
| + | * **Remove** the src folder from the **Source Folders** \\ **Set** the folders ''src.client'', ''src.server'' and ''test'' as **Source Folder** \\ {{:jvx:newproject_folders.png?nolink|}} | ||
| + | * **Add** the ''jvx.jar'' library, from the project directory ''JVxFirstApp/libs/server'' \\ {{:jvx:newproject_libs.png?nolink|}} | ||
| + | * The project can now be created | ||
| + | |||
| + | The project is shown in Eclipse as follows: | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{:jvx:project_eclipse.png?nolink|}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Application development == | ||
| + | |||
| + | On the server side, the application needs a configuration file for the settings that only concern the application. For the configuration of the server, an extra configuration file is needed. First we create the file for the application: | ||
