Hi Joe Thanks a lot for your feedback!
I added your input to our JIRA issue about documentation issues in general: http://www.canoo.com/jira/browse/UBA-7069 Cheers Rolf ************************************** Rolf Pfenninger Canoo Engineering AG Kirschgartenstrasse 7 CH-4051 Basel Tel +41 61 228 9444 Fax +41 61 228 9449 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.canoo.com ULC - Rich Clients for J2EE http://www.canoo.com/ulc ************************************** -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Joe L Sent: Montag, 18. Dezember 2006 16:58 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ULC-developer] Applet/Servlet Deployment Janak, I read through the deployment guide before posting my first question. After playing around with servlet settings I eventually got it running. A few notes: The AppletDevelopmentRunner has to be run as an application from Eclipse. This should be noted somewhere in the API, or PDF files. I kept trying to run it as an applet, and it was giving a ClassCastException. The Deployment guide seems to be written for people with an understanding of servlets already. I had no idea what the web.xml file options were. I just mimicked the samples provided. Another thing I've noticed is there is a lib folder in the application folder for client jars, and a WEB-INF/libs which contains server jars. There isn't really any explanation of the differences between the two kinds of jars. These are just a few things I noticed while going through the process.

While, in JNLP and stand alone modes ULCFrame is used as the top level container. AppletDevelopmentRunner enables testing of ULC applications (to be deployed as applets) within the IDE. At development time, this eliminates the need to deploy the application in a server and running the ULC client in a browser. It is similar in concept to Java Applet Viewer. For a demo, if you are using Eclipse, please try generating a ULC App using: http://ulc-community.canoo.com/snipsnap/space/Eclipse+IDE+Integration . This creates a sample skeletal app which includes a AppletDevelopmentLauncher. Also, please try the sample applications bundled with the release and look at the code too. Sample apps can be run by starting the bundled Tomcat server (where the sample apps are deployed - tomcat\webapps\Root.war): ulc-6.1.1\sample\startServer.bat and ulc-6.1.1\sample\startClient.html (i.e. the "sample" dir within your ULC installation dir). Moreover, please refer to the ULC Deployment Guide. Thanks and regards, Janak -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Joe L Sent: Friday, December 15, 2006 4:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ULC-developer] Applet/Servlet Deployment I'm very new to applet and servlet development. Please keep that in mind when responding. Let's start with the applet side of things. I see there is an AppletDevelopmentLauncher in the API. It doesn't seem to work the same way as the development launcher, as my application crashes when I try to use it. Is there a demo of it somewhere that I could see to get this first basic step working? After this I'm going to need some help with the applet launcher also, but that will require the servlet backend to be up and running. I figured getting the AppletDevelopmentLauncher running first was a good idea. I'm not sure how to do the whole applet/servlet thing either. I have been able to get apache and tomcat running on a machine here, which i know are necessary. I'll be asking questions as I'm going through the process. I've been looking at the sample applications and trying to figure it out. Most of the documentation looks like it was written for someone with an understanding of applets and servlets to some extent already. thanks Joe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
