Developers of all levels can now easily develop custom, responsive, and rich web application clients with secure, scalable servers utilizing relational databases and RESTful services using WaveMaker Studio. Whether you need a departmental business application or a form application for your weekend club, this book will show you how to design, develop, and deploy professional grade web applications with WaveMaker. Easy Web Development with WaveMaker will help you use WaveMaker to design, develop, and deploy rich, responsive web applications, even if you are not a programmer. If you need to build a data-driven web application, but you only know ‘enough to be dangerous,' you need this book. This book examines every angle of using WaveMaker to build applications, from dissecting examples to customizing, deploying, and debugging your own applications. This book enables the non-professional programmer to become comfortable not only with using WaveMaker Studio itself, but also with the artefacts produced by the studio as well as the runtime and services provided by the WaveMaker framework. You will learn everything, from how customize the user experience with JavaScript and CSS to integrating with custom Java services and the Spring Framework server-side.

Deployment requirements


The main requirement for the deployment of WaveMaker applications is a Java application server running in a JDK 1.6 or newer JVM. Apache Tomcat is the most commonly used server, but other common application servers are known to work as well, including JBoss, GlassFish, WebSphere, and WebLogic. If an application server can run Spring 3.x applications, a WaveMaker application should also be runnable in that server as well. Issues with application servers generally come in the form of JVM issues such as classpath, or server-specific issues such as missing server-specific configuration entries.

Note

OpenJDK works equally well as Oracle's JDK. OpenJDK does not include a few proprietary fonts that are distributed by Oracle. These fonts can be downloaded separately if needed.
