B4J Question Fix ServerExample in Web Apps Overview Thread

[cklester]

It seems the ServerExample project in the thread, "[WebApp] Web Apps Overview," is broken, and I cannot get it to work.

If that is deprecated for a newer example, please provide a link.

Thank you!

Post more information. I don't know what "broken" means.

I get the following error in the "Compile & Rapid Debug (Build: Default)" dialog:

B4J Version: 8.80

Look at this thread - probably same reason for failed compile
jxl.jar

I saw that, but I don't have a jxl*.* in that directory. I think the reference is old and possibly deprecated, as the new Excel module is jExcel. I'm not sure what is wanting jxl.jar anyway.

The online examples project is attached.
The full project depends on a MySQL database (and several other libraries - see post #19).
You can start with the NoMySQL project which doesn't depend on MySQL.

Post #19:

I recommend you to start with the ServerExampleNoMySQL project. It only depends on "core" libraries.

The full project depends on: jExcel, ByteConverter and Encryption library (last two are B4A libraries).
It also depends on the MySQL jdbc driver.

Excel library:

- Download jexcel library: A Java library for reading/writing Excel - Browse /jexcelapi/2.6.12 at SourceForge.net (jexcelapi_2_6_12.zip).
- Open the zip file and copy jxl.jar to the (additional) libraries folder.

Moved to the questions forum.

I've made it more clear: The full project depends on: jBuilderUtils, jExcel, ByteConverter and Encryption.
