Getting started

[David]

Hi,
this seems interesting, so I'm trying it, and eventually I would
contribute. For now I'm trying on localhost, with no apache/tomcat on
my machine, only GWT hosted stuff. I did the steps on the README, but
after the:
ant gwt-shell
I got the "The connection was refused while attempting to connect
localhost" (in google pseudo-browser)
What's wrong?

Hi David,

Tomcat is required to run the backend (database, RPC services, front-end engine, etc.). The "ant gwt-shell" task explicitly sets -noserver on GWT shell. So, to make it work you have to deploy it on tomcat first.

Which version are you using (trunk or sandbox)?

Thanks for the answer.
I'm usign the trunk. I saw some installations during the "ant setup"
and I did not understand the the servlet container was mandatory also
in hosted mode (I usually work on client side stuff). I'll try to
install Tomcat and let you know.
A question about your future plans for qWCM: have you any ambition to
make it "big" (say, like Drupal, 'course little by little and
depending on community involvement)?
Bye,

Well, of course I'm hoping to be able to compete with the
best-of-the-best. It's not only the CMS space I'm targeting for (which
has the higher priority) but also the Java Portals (JSR-168 and JSR-286).

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
