The “Hello World” chapter walks you through the creation of an Eclipse Scout client server application. When the user starts the client part of this application, the client connects to the server [1] and asks for some text content that is to be displayed to the user. Next, the server retrieves the desired information and sends it back to the client. The client then copies the content obtained from the server into a text field widget and displays it.
The goal of this chapter is to provide a first impression of working with the Scout framework using the Scout SDK. We will start by building the application from scratch and then we’ll deploy the complete application to a Tomcat web server.
Before you can start with the “Hello World” example you need to have a complete and working Scout installation. For this, see the step-by-step installation guide provided in [apx-install_scout]. Once you have everything installed, you are ready to create your first Scout project.
