Aejaks 1.1 is now available. http://aejaks.sf.net This is primarily a bug-fix release. The following issues have been fixed: * Fixed Janino so that empty directories reported by Java's "java.ext.dirs" property don't cause a NPE in Janino. This fix allows Hyde and MrPersister to function in Java 1.6, which reports non-existent directories as the ext paths. * Fixed 'update' and 'updatePrepared' methods in MrPersister objects PersistenceManager and JdbcDao. * Remove old hydecache.tcl and hyde compile directories on startup. * Force run.sh to output Jetty stdout to the current tty. --README---------------------------------------------------------------------- AEJAKS: http://aejaks.sf.net ABOUT: Aejaks combines the server-side Ajax windowing system Echo2 with the powerful simplicity of the Tcl langauge. The result is a rich development environment in which to develop Ajax-based web applications, often with much less code to write. Building a Rich Internet Application (RIA) usually means having to write your application in a variety of languages and markup: HTML, CSS, and Javascript for the browser, plus some backend language (PHP, Java, Tcl, etc.) With Aejaks, you only need a single language: Tcl. Aejaks applications resemble desktop Tcl/Tk applications. Aejaks uses a Tk-inspired object interface to create and interact with widgets. Classic "Hello world" in Aejaks: Button .hello -text "Hello world" -command {. exitApp /index.html} Pack .hello The first line creates a Button widget named '.hello' and defines a command to be run when the button is pressed (exit the application and tell the browser to load the index.html page.) The second line makes the Button widget visibile in the browser window. That's all you need! AUTHOR: Aejaks was conceived and written by Tom Poindexter.

McLennan, Mo DeJong Jetty: Greg Wilkins, Mort Bay Consulting Clcms: Jelte Jansen EchopointNG: Brad Bakerman Nuvola icons: David Vignoni MrPersister Jacob Jenkov H2 Database Thomas Mueller DOWNLOAD: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=184611 or http://sourceforge.net/projects/aejaks Three downloads are available (where 'x.y' is the current version): aejaks-x.y-exe.tar.gz aejaks-x.y-exe.zip This package contains everything required to run, develop and deploy Aejaks applications. Included are the aejaks.war file, Jetty web server, sample scripts, and documentation. Java 1.4 or higher is required to run the Aejaks and the Jetty web server. http://java.sun.com aejaks-x.y-src.tar.gz aejaks-x.y-src.zip Developers who wish to contribute to Aejaks development should download this file and the above '-exe' file, and unpack both into the same directory. This package contains source for Java and Tcl files, documentation source, build scripts, library files, icon and image source, Eclipse project and classpath files. Java JDK 1.4 or higher is required to develop Aejaks. http://java.sun.com Ant or Eclipse is require to run the Java source build.xml file. Ant and Eclipse can be downloaded from http://ant.apache.org http://eclipse.org The Jetty web server is not included with the source distribution. If you would like to run with the Jetty web server, download and unpack the executable distribution (e.g., aejaks-x.y-exe.zip) or download the Jetty web server at: http://jetty.mortbay.com You may also run with Apache Tomcat, or other Java Servlet web servers. Clcms and Python are required to regenerate the local website & documentation. Clcms and Python can be downloaded from: http://www.jelte.nlnetlabs.nl/Projects/clcms/index.html http://python.org AejaksDemo.war This war is the webserver deployment file containing the Aejaks runtime and all required libraries, along with the 'widget_tour' demo script. Simply deploy this file into your existing Java Servlet engine (e.g., Jetty, Tomcat, Resin, Websphere, Weblogic, Winstone, etc. Java 1.4 or higher is also requried.) Once deployed (and depending on your servlet engine), you should be able to invoke the Aejaks 'widget_tour' demo by opening a browser to http://your-web-server-host/AejaksDemo AejaksDemo.war is a full run-time environment for Aejaks. Update the internal WEB-INF/web.xml file or provide the runtime parameters as outlined in the documentation: http://aejaks.sourceforge.net/Documentation/Running/index.html http://aejaks.sourceforge.net/Documentation/Configuration/index.html REQUIREMENTS: Aejaks requires a Java JRE 1.4 or higher installation. No other external software is required, Aejaks is ready to run. Aejaks includes the Jetty webserver, configured to start on port 8080. DOCUMENTATION: See: ./website/out/index.html This is a local copy of the website, including all documentation to related software. All documentation is also available at: http://aejaks.sf.net QUICK START: You will need Java JDK or JRE 1.4 or higher installed. un-tar or un-zip the '-exe' distribution file: tar zxf aejaks-x.y-exe.tar.gz unzip aejaks-x.y-exe.zip winzip ...etc... Start the Jetty webserver: unix/linux: sh run.sh windows, execute in a Command Prompt window: run.bat Start your web browser and load the index.html page: unix/linux: firefox http://localhost:8080 windows: start http://localhost:8080 Now start exploring the demos! To stop the web server: unix/linux: sh stop.sh windows: ^C (in the Command Prompt window where you started jetty) and ^C (in the Command Prompt window running the H2 database) COPYRIGHT & LICENSE: Aejaks Copyright 2006-2008, Tom Poindexter Aejaks is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 1.1, or the GNU LGPL 2.1.
