Environment Setup

Forge

• Download Forge 1.3.0.Final http://forge.jboss.org/index.html

• Unpack Forge

• In JBoss Tools, in Forge preferences, point to the fresh installed Forge folder.

• Start the forge console and install the Aerogear Scaffold plugin : forge git-plugin git://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-forge-scaffold --ref minidemo

AeroGear Controller

The Scaffold plugin depends on a version which is not yet available on the maven repos.

• Clone Aerogear Controller https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-controller

• Install mvn clean install

• In JBoss Tools make sure the Embedded Maven is linked to your settings.xml that contains the JBoss repositories.

• Make sure you have a running instance of AS7.

• Prepare you forge script by saving this where ever you want and name it as you want, i.e scaffold.fsh

new-project --named blogapp;
persistence setup --provider HIBERNATE --container JBOSS_AS7;
validation setup --provider JAVA_EE;
entity --named Post;
field string --named title;
field string --named content;
rest setup --activatorType WEB_XML;
rest endpoint-from-entity --contentType application/json com.example.blogapp.model.*;
scaffold setup --scaffoldType html5-aerogear;

Using the Forge Plugin

• In the console, run the forge script run pathToYourScript/scaffold.fsh

This will create a JEE app with persistence, REST enpoints. You should also see at the root of the project a file named config.json.

• Assuming you have already created a empty Cordova app, edit the config.json and under "Cordova" , fill in the "appPath" which is the path to your Cordova project (no need to point to the subfolder www).

• The second thing to change is the baseURL (Needed for the cordova app to communicate with the backend). Be sure to use an network IP and not your local IP ;) , for instance : "baseURL" : "http://192.168.1.19:8080/blogapp"

• Scaffold the App ! scaffold from-entity com.example.blogapp.model.*;

• Setup AS7 as7 setup

• Deploy the app as7 deploy

• Start your Cordova App !
