Server Side: Implement the Data Loading

In the The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/. navigate to the server node, then Process Services, and DesktopProcessService. The DesktopProcessService is the server side service corresponding to the DesktopForm defined on the client side. This The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/. was created as part of the selected application template. The load(DesktopFormData) method is defined out of the box.

Add a simple implementation for the load method:

  1. public DesktopFormData load(DesktopFormData formData) throws ProcessingException {
  2.   formData.getMessage().setValue("hello world");
  3.   return formData;
  4. }

On line 2 we access the message field of the The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/. and set its value to "hello world". The updated form data is returned and eventually sent back to the client.

Run the "hello world" application

In the The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/. go back to top-level node Scout Projects, then click on org.eclipse.scout.helloworld to access the launch boxes in the Scout Object Properties.

  • Start the server in the server box
  • Start the client in the SWT box

And, "Ta Taa"
