WebEngine Tutorials

In this section we will go deeper into WebEngine model by proposing 5 samples on how to use common WebEngine concepts.

To install the sample modules you need to download the compiled JAR and copy them to the $NUXEO_HOME/nxserver/bundles directory.

To correctly understand the tutorials you need to look into all .java and .ftl files you find in the corresponding sample modules. Each sample is well documented in the corresponding classes using java docs.

You should download the binaries and sources (https://maven.nuxeo.org/nexus/index.html#nexus-search;gav~~nuxeo-webengine-samples*~~~) from our Maven repository.

Tutorial 1 - Hello World.
