What is Lakeshore?

Lakeshore is a component based web framework that borrows heavily on the ideas present in Seaside 2 and Borges.

How do I use Lakeshore?

Most frameworks and languages usually answer this question with the omnipresent 'Hello World' example. I don't see why we should be any different. Like most frameworks, it takes a little bootstraping to get us started. It is expected that you:

• Have an application server
• Have a Java compiler
• Know how to setup your application server and build/deploy a standard web application

              package example.hello;

              import com.missiondata.oss.lakeshore.Component;
              import com.missiondata.oss.lakeshore.Renderer;

              public class Main extends Component
              {
                public void renderOn(Renderer r)
                {
                  r.text("Hello World");
                }
              }
            

              <web-app>
                <description>Hello Lakeshore</description>

                <servlet>
                  <servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
                  <servlet-class>com.missiondata.oss.lakeshore.Dispatcher</servlet-class>
                  <init-param>
                    <param-name>application</param-name>
                    <param-value>example.hello.Main</param-value>
                  </init-param>
                </servlet>

                <servlet-mapping>
                  <servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
                  <url-pattern>/hello/*</url-pattern>
                </servlet-mapping>
              </web-app>
