# Setup an initial Eiffel project for your webapp. For that matter you can use this [https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/eiffelstudio/trunk/Src/framework/web/xebra/tools/scripts/create_website.sh script] which creates all necessary files. Make sure to assign a free port to your webapp (see also [[Xebra Webapp Config File]]). The webapp has to be created in the same folder that is specified in the servers config file at webapps_root. See [[Xebra Server Config File]] for more information.

# Run the server and browse to http://localhost:55000/yourwebapp. The server will translate and compile your webapp. Once compiled, you should see a page displaying "Yourwebapp works!".

# Create xeb files for your webapp. See [[Xebra Xeb-Files]] for a documentation about xeb files. Note that you have to let the server retranslate your webapp everytime you change xeb-files or add new xeb-files. This can be done by just pressing F5 in the browser. The server automatically detects that the webapp has to be retranslated if it is set to Development Mode (see [[Xebra Server Administration]] for more info).

# Note that you should have compiled the translator before you run the server. 
 
# If you have not done so, open the file $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/xebra_server/config.ini and adapt translator, compiler, and webapps_root to your configuration (see [[Xebra Server Config File]]).
 
# Launch estudio and open the project $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/xebra_server/xebra_server-voidunsafe.ecf
 
# Go to the Exceptions Handling dialog and disable DEVELOPER_EXCEPTION (this is due to a bug in the NET library that has not been fixed yet).
 
# Open the Execution Parameters dialog and set "config.ini -d 10" as argument (see [[Xebra Server Administration]] for more info about run arguments).
 
# Compile and run
 
# Browse to http://localhost:55000/helloworld/. The server now translates, generates, compiles and finally runs the helloworld application.
 
 
=Manually translate a webapp=
 
To manually translate, generate and compile your webapp use the following commands
 
<code>
 
cd $XEBRA_DEV/httpd/htdocs/yourwebapp/
 
 
#Translate
 
$XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/xebra_translator/EIFGENs/W_code/xebra_translator -n yourwebapp -i . -o . -t $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/xebra_translator/ -d 10
 
 
#Compile servlet_gen
 
ec -config .generated/servlet_gen/servlet_gen.ecf -target servlet_gen -c_compile -stop
 
 
#Execute servlet_gen
 
.generated/servlet_gen/EIFGENs/servlet_gen/W_code/servlet_gen .
 
 
#Compile webapp
 
ec -config yourwebapp.ecf -target yourwebapp -c_compile -stop
 
 
</code>
 
 
Optionally, you can add the "-clean" option for ec and the "-force" option for translator to force a complete recompilation.
