Playing with the UCW examples
Posted in: (Lisp) by ikki , last update on: 2010-01-15 19:47:37.922362
UCW includes a couple of examples to show you some features and how to programming with ucw.
First some background. In src the examples live in the examples directory of your UCW sources:
ucw$ ll examples/ total 16K drwxr-xr-x 4 jdoe jdoe 4.0K Sep 16 13:05 . drwxr-xr-x 8 jdoe jdoe 4.0K Jan 1 14:21 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 jdoe jdoe 4.0K Dec 1 09:37 src drwxr-xr-x 4 jdoe jdoe 4.0K Sep 16 13:05 wwwroot
But today are loaded from the main ucw.asd:
grep examples *.asd
ucw.asd:(defsystem* :ucw.manual-examples
ucw.asd:(defsystem* :ucw.examples
ucw.asd: ((:module :examples
ucw.asd: :components ((:file "examples")
ucw.asd: (:file "counter" :depends-on ("examples"))
ucw.asd: ;(:file "cache" :depends-on ("examples"))
ucw.asd: ;(:file "forms" :depends-on ("examples"))
ucw.asd: (:file "sum" :depends-on ("examples"))
ucw.asd: (:file "wiki" :depends-on ("examples")))))))
And now something more practical:
Load examples.
UCW-USER> (require :ucw.examples)
And start the Examples application:
UCW-USER> (start-example-server :port 8080) ... 15:34 UCW INFO Spawned new worker thread #15:34 UCW INFO Spawned new worker thread # 15:34 UCW INFO Started standard-server # with backend #
You just started the Examples application and make it available on the port 8080 of your localhost (to be true in all your interfaces: 0.0.0.0) so point your browser to http://localhost:8080 and you should see the Examples running :)

Now, you can play with them and/or check the code into examples/src/, have fun!.
Currently you can see the examples in action on the unknown_lamer site: http://nm156.unknownlamer.org/ucw/
