Naked Objects

Following on from Dan Haywood’s talk yesterday at Devoxx09, I have made Scimpi available for you to play with.  Instructions are available on the new web page (see http://scimpi.org/) .  It’s very simple to get started using Maven’s archetype facility. To create a new webapp use the following command:

$ mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://nakedobjects.org/snapshot-catalog.xml

Select the scimpi-archetype-quickstart archetype and after entering a suitable group id and artifact id you are ready to build and run the application.

$ cd mywebapp
$ mvn install
$ mvn jetty:run

Now browse to http://localhost:8080/mywebapp/ (where the last part needs to be the artifact ID that you specified in the first step) to see the opening page. This uses a very simple domain model with only one class so the view is not very interesting yet.

With it running, it’s time to add details to the existing class and add some new ones. And it’s time to look at the documentation (see http://scimpi.org).
