Blogwt Blo(gG)WT

Looking for a better name! Let me know if you have one 😉.

Intro

This project is a blog written in GWT on top of app engine. I started this project because I wanted a blog site for my willshex.com domain. The project does not use gwtrpc, I am using a json based API (or 4 - search, user, blog, and page split by functional area).

Incomplete

There are things missing from the project, but I am working on it everyday, and making good progress too.

I am also adding things that I think I might need as I go along, so if you think there is something useful that you would like to request, please, raise an issue if there isn't one there yet.

I will put a road map shortly on the wiki, maybe even with a "how to".

Setup

Make sure that you have git and maven installed before you start.

  • cd to a new folder where you are happy to install the project
  • run git clone https://github.com/billy1380/blogwt.git
  • cd to the folder created cd blogwt
  • allow the install install depenencies script to run by setting the executable flag on the file chmod +x installdeps.sh
  • run the installation script using ./installdeps.sh. This script assumes that the maven files are stored under ~/.m2/repository so if this is not the case, you might want to edit the file to reflect your setup
  • build and install the package using mvn install
  • build the gwt part using mvn gwt:compile
  • run the dev server using mvn appengine:devserver

The site should now appear under http://localhost:8888

Note: To change the gwt code on the fly the code server has to be running. To start the code server run mvn gwt:run-codeserver.

Demo

I have previously had issues with discrepancies between the appengine sdk behaviour and production so to use for testing and also for demo purposes I there is a relatively up to date version of the project running here so go have a look.
