Quick start

We will have to assume you have basic knowledge of Java Server Pages(or similar languages) and know how an editor works in GX WebManager. If you're not familiar with GX WebManager, start as an editor.  Quick Reference Guide (GXD0064) might be a good place.

1) Start by downloading Java from http://java.sun.com/. Java EE 6 SDK.

2) Install the GX WebManager Community Edition (Officially Windows only, Linux unofficial)

3) GX WebManager bundles Apache Maven in it's installation, but you need to configure maven for your PC/Mac.
Check the installation instruction on http://maven.apache.org/download.html (bottom of page)

4) A good doc to start after that is the Design API (GXD0051) documentation.
This document explains how to create a WCB structure, change the presentation JSP files ('the templates'), and how to deploy this into GX WebManager.

5) To set up a (advanced) development environment you can use the 'Quick Start Eclipse (GXD0098)' document. For just changing some presentations you might also use 'notepad'/'textpad'.

6) Start changing those presentations Smile
Some documenation that might become handy are the Tag Library Quick Reference (GXD0085), this wiki with tutorial links, the Website Design Guidelines (GXD0062) and the Page sections (GXD0026) doc.

Some tips

  • If you change files on the server directly, they will be overwritten after a reboot of the server. You need to deploy them via a WCB.
