[Helma-user] Announcing Rabbit

[tobias.schaefer at orf.at]

Hello

Note: Please excuse my cross-posting on both lists.
Since I believe it might be of interest for both users
and developers of helma I hope it will be at least not
annoying.

Quite some time ago I've left my ramblings [1] at Helma's wiki 
about Helma needing a little bit too much of preparation for 
some quick and dirty prototyping.

And since do-it-yourself is probably the only reasonable motto 
if you want to achieve change, I so did it myself  - and started 
a new project  to take some action regarding at least a few of my 
conclusions.

Thus, if you're interested in a simple helper for kind of rapid 
hoplication development (ie. getting Helma to automatically create 
prototypes for you including directories, type- and db.properties 
and - yes! - most of all: sql tables) then i'd like to encourage
you to download rabbit-428 (zip, 10 KB) [2] and hsqldb.jar [3].

Put the latter into Helma's lib/ext directory. The zip file goes 
into your application's directory. (I recommend a virgin app for 
maximum effect.)

Now (re)start Helma, point your browser to http://localhost:8080/appname/rabbit.example, click the button 
and... fingers crossed!

(As usual, documentation is missing... But I will add some further
notes about Rabbit as soon as possible.)

Ciao,
tobi
