Open .servoy example

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,

I’m still a N00b with servoy:

I’m trying to open the headless client demo solution(headless_client_demo.servoy file), but I cann’t find anywhere how to.
Can someone tell me how I can open this?

Thanks.

Hi Jos,

You want to import the solution ? I assume you are using Servoy 4.x. because that doesn’t let you import the solution straight in the workspace (yet).
What you must do is launch Developer and then open a webbrowser.
Point the webbrowser to http://localhost:8080/servoy-admin/
Go to the Solutions link and click on Import Solution.

(this is enough if you just want to load the solution in the repository and load a client from Servoy Server)

After the import you can close your browser and go to the Solution Explorer in Developer.
Here you right-click on the “All Solutions” node and select “Checkout”.
You get a dialog with Localhost already filled in. Just keep the rest blank and hit the Next button. Here you select the solution (select HEAD) and press finish.
Now the solution is in your workspace and you can run it.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
I Went to the servoy admin page and then browsed to the solutions page.

Then I got the following message:

Could not load solution list: No repository was found. Please check if the server is started in Team Developer mode, or if the repository server is started.

Probably my problem is that I have no Repository configured?

Hi Jos,

Janssenjos:

I think that is a fair assessment ;)
Create a new database connection with the name “repository_server” and point it to the repository database.
When this is a newly created database then you need to let Servoy create the tables in it. You can force this by (after relauching Servoy Developer) right-clicking on the repository_server node.
It will ask you to ‘create or upgrade’ the database. Allow this and relaunch Servoy Developer again. After all this you are all set to import the solution via the servoy-admin page.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!!!

This solved my problem.

OK, today I had the time to go further with Servoy. Not all the problems are gone :oops:
And although the Headless_demo_solution now shows up in the solution list on the server administration,
I don’t see it within my Servoy Developer? (And right-clicking the solutions folder, only lets me create new solutions)

Ok, I found it now.

right-click solutions, then you have the check-out option, which lets you get a solution from the repository :D
