Epsilon Web Server-side

Epsilon Web is a web runtime to execute Epsilon as a server-side scripting language.

What is this ?

Epsilon Web is a web application that works as a runtime able to execute Epsilon EGL scripts to generate content. Using this web application, a developer can add EGL scripts (or create an overlay with these files) to create Epsilon-based applications.

This project is based on the Epsilon EGL servlet.

Usage

Using Maven, you can create a web application including only Epsilon-compatible models (such as Ecore models, XML and GraphML files), EOL libraries and EGL scripts. You must include a dependency to the epsilon.web in you pom.xml

		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.eclipse.epsilon</groupId>
			<artifactId>org.eclipse.epsilon.web</artifactId>
			<version>1.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
			<type>war</type>
		</dependency>

Example Application

The project includes an example application with the demo scripts provided in the Epsilon EGL servlet.

Using Maven, you can run the application using the jetty:run goal in the org.eclipse.epsilon.web.example project.

    $ cd org.eclipse.epsilon.web.example
    $ mvn jetty:run

Using Eclipse m2e, you can run the application using a provided launcher file.

1. Select the org.eclipse.epsilon.web.example project.
2. Select the Run epsilon.web.example.launch file
3. Right click on the file, and execute "Run As > Run epsilon.web.example"
