Requirements

1. BASE 2.7.0 or later.

Introduction

This package contains a few simple variants of Hello world applications in the form of extensions to the BASE web client. The package installs several examples into the Extensions -> Hello world examples menu:

• Hello world! - A basic example using only javascript
• Hello factory world! - An example that uses a custom action factory
• Greetings Root! - An example of a custom action factory with parameters
• Hello JSP world! - Uses a JSP file to display the message instead of javascript
• Hello X-JSP world! - Another variant of a JSP file
• Hello Servlet world! - Uses a servlet to generate the message

Installation

1. Unpack the tar.gz file to a directory of your choice.
2. Copy the extension-examples.jar to your BASE extensions directory: WEB-INF/extensions.
3. Run the 'Extensions -> Manual scan' command if you have disabled automatic installation. Otherwise, just wait a bit and the automatic installation will find and install the new extensions.
4. If you are logged in, you may have to logout and then login again to see the new menu items.
5. The 'Hello X-JSP world' example requires that the X-JSP compiler is installed on the server. Read in the documentation how to do this. ​http://base.thep.lu.se/chrome/site/latest/html/admindoc/extensions/admin.extensions.html
6. Done. The examples can be found in the Extensions -> Hello world examples menu.
