The New Scout Page wizard can be used to create a new page and related classes. To start the wizard use File  New  Other…​ or press Ctrl+N.

sdk new page
Figure 1. The new Page Wizard

In the case of Figure 1 the package org.eclipse.scout.apps.helloworld.client.helloworld has been selected in the Package Explorer. The only wizard field that then needs to be filled in manually is the Name field.

By clicking on the Finish button the wizard is started and the specified components are created.

Wizard Fields and Default Values

Most of the fields of the Figure 1 will be filled with default values depending on the current context of the IDE. The context can be derived from a package selected in the Package Explorer or from the class in the active Java Editor.

Source Folder

The source folder of the Maven client module used for the creation of the page. The default value is the src/main/java folder in the Maven client module.

Package

The Java package that will contain the page class. The Scout SDK will try to guess the package name from the current context and derive matching package names for the Maven shared module.

Name

The name of the page class. According to Scout conventions the class name ends with the suffix TablePage (for subclasses of AbstractPageWithTable) or NodePage (for AbstractPageWithNodes).

Super Class

The super class for the form. AbstractPageWithTable is the default value.

Shared Source Folder

The source folder of the Maven shared module used for creation of the page data and the service interface. The default value is the src/main/java folder in the Maven shared module.

Server Source Folder

The source folder of the Maven server module used for creation of the service implementation. The default value is the src/main/java folder in the Maven server module.

Created Components

In the Figure 1 example shown above the Scout SDK will create the following components.

  • In Maven module helloworld.client

    • The MyTablePage page class in folder src/main/java and package org.eclipse.scout.apps.helloworld.client.helloworld

  • In Maven module helloworld.shared

    • The IMyService service interface in folder src/main/java and package org.eclipse.scout.apps.helloworld.shared.helloworld

    • MyTablePageData page data class in folder src/generated/java and package org.eclipse.scout.apps.helloworld.shared.helloworld

  • In Maven module helloworld.server

    • The MyService implementation in folder src/main/java and package org.eclipse.scout.apps.helloworld.server.helloworld
