B4J Question How to create a web application?

[amorosik]

Okay, starting from the first examples of web apps published by Erel, and going through the systems created by Mashiane, Alwaysbusy, Aeric, Ilan, and all the other super-coders of the forum, wanting to start a new project that has to do essentially with texts and numbers, and therefore without strange or moving graphics, and especially taking into account the fact that the debugging of the system can be maintained on the server side in the same way as a debugging of a desktop application, which systems/libraries would you recommend to use to create with B4J the project to be used via web browser?

I ask this because I see that there are many different possibilities, and the difficulty for a neophyte is precisely in trying to understand which system could be the most suitable for the problem he wants to solve I mean, if there were 'the standard way' perhaps it would be easier to start studying and experimenting by following that path

But since there are different systems, and I seem to understand each one with its own peculiarities, it would be necessary to study them all in depth to be able to understand which is the best for your needs
And so, wanting to use B4J to create a web server to allow the use of the classic business management system in connection with the classic db servers (MySql, Sql Server, Postgresql, ...) via browser, which path should we follow?

Choose the idea of the app and, as usual, start googling and b4j-searching and start building your app.
Any unclear or error - go googling again , each term regarding the protocols, ports, requests, HTML, JS, CSS, API, JSON, WebSockets, network databases (with working via network), SQL, hosting, VDS, Linux setup, Apache, Nginx.....

Yes, this is a good hypothesis
But it would require much more time than if we could exploit the experience of those who have already tried several different paths and know well which is the best to reach a certain objective
I understand that 'a certain objective' can be different for each of us
And for this reason I have limited the functionalities to the classic ones of a business management system
And therefore essentially:
- 'see' grids corresponding to tables or queries on a db server
- insert new records, delete or modify existing records
- start prints containing labels and data taken from the underlying db

Successful Business ABMaterial Framework Stories.

Hi all, I would like to read from any success stories using ABMaterial framework, has anyone actually either for personal business purposes or for a client built a successful web app that is still currently being used by more than 1000 users on a daily basis. The reason I ask this question is...

If this thread had the right title - how to create a web server, instead of how to create an application, I would not have come here...

Let me understand, you decide (the title of the 3d) what I would like to know (how to realize a web app)?
The title of the 3d is already right as it is now

I'm sure the OP is deeply sorry for wasting 24 hours of your precious time.

Sure, very deeply

Make a fairly precise description of your application. For example:

"Write an HTLM application using B4J that allows you to​

1) Display tables resulting from SQLITE queries​

2) Add, modify or delete records​

3) Print labels and data from SQL queries"​

Connect to an AI, for example: DeepSeek (web search mode, and Deepthink activated), or Claude or chatGpt if you have a subscription.

Run the query on the AI and admire the result: it will generate the B4J code, the HTML code, the javascript and the css.

Adjust the AI prompt if necessary. This will be a good start
