<h1>Getting Started</h1>
</div>
<p>This page will help you to get started with EWF.
We will first see how to install EWF and then how to compile and run the venerable <i>Hello World</i> example.</p>
<h2>Installation</h2>
<h3>EiffelStudio 7.2</h3>
<p>EWF is already included in EiffelStudio 7.2: you don't have to do anything in this case!
This is the recommanded solution if you are a new developer or are new to Eiffel.</p>
<h3>Other EiffelStudio versions</h3>
<p>If you have another version of EiffelStudio than 7.2, you have to</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://github.com/EiffelWebFramework/EWF/zipball/release-0.2">dowload EWF</a></li>
<li>create a directory where you will put your custum Eiffel libraries</li>
<li>extract EWF in the newly created directory</li>
<li>define the environment variable EIFFEL_LIBRARY to point to the newly created directory</li>
</ol>
<h3>Source code</h3>
<p>The source code is available on Github.
You can get it by running the command:</p>
<pre><code>git clone --recursive git://github.com/EiffelWebFramework/EWF.git</code></pre>
<h2>Hello World</h2>
<p>The hello world example is located in the directory <i>$ISE_EIFFEL/contrib/examples/web/ewf/simple</i>.
Just double click on the <i>simple.ecf</i> file and select the <i>simple</i> target or if you prefer the command line, run the command:</p>
<pre><code>estudio -config simple.ecf -target simple</code></pre>
<p>Once the project is compiled, we will adapt the root class to point to port number 9090.</p>
<div class="alert alert-info">
<strong>Note</strong>: By default, the application listens on port 80, which is often already used by standard webservers (Apache, nginx, ...).
Moreover, on Linux, ports below 1024 can only be opened by root.
</div>
<p>To do this, we will redefine the feature <i>initialize</i> as follows:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-eiffel">
class
APPLICATION
inherit
WSF_DEFAULT_SERVICE
redefine
initialize
end
create
make_and_launch
feature {NONE} -- Initialization
initialize
-- Initialize current service
do
set_service_option ("port", 9090)
end
</pre>
<p>After one more compile, you can now launch the application and point your browser to <a href="http://localhost:9090">http://localhost:9090</a>.
You should now see a simple page with <i>Hello World</i>.</p>
