The article describes application and file structure of the UI5 SplitApp Boilerplate.
Run UI5 Apps on Apache Tomcat
Let’s use Apache Tomcat to run UI5 Apps! Tomcat is a very light-weight, but a full blown Java based app and web server. It can be well integrated into Eclipse IDE and therefore a perfect counterpart in development. It is much more light-weight and faster in startup than any SAP Java Server. It also enables you to write server-side components (like servlet’s, JSP’s,…), which then can be consumed by our UI5 App. And like OpenUI5 it is Open Source and free!
UI5 Boilerplate with Eclipse + SAPUI5 Toolkit
This post describes how to use the UI5 SplitApp Boilerplate (hosted on Github) with Eclipse 4.3.x and installed SAP UI Development Toolkit for HTML5. Using the UI5 Boilerplate without Eclipse is outlined in this blog post.
UI5 Mobile SplitApp Boilerplate
There are different approaches to start a new project with SAP UI5 or OpenUI5 (let’s call it simply UI5). One way is to use the SAP UI5 Eclipse Tools described in the blog post „SAP UI5 – Quickstart“. The generated UI5 Application Project is very, very basic and you are bound to Eclipse to do your development, which is not everybody’s favorite IDE of course.
On the other hand there are already some really nice UI5 Tools, which can help you. For example the Yeoman generator for OpenUI5, which is based on node.js and can generate a nice application structure or only single components. Another example is the Sublime Text 2 Package for UI5/OpenUI5, which contains Snippets and Templates and is very useful.
So whatever your favorite IDE is, either Eclipse, Sublime Text, WebStorm, IntelliJ, Xcode, Visual Studio, emacs, notepad or vi, you should be able to use Git and clone the UI5 Mobile SplitApp Boilerplate from GitHub (if not, you should try hard) resulting in a nice app structure with base feature, which can be used as starting point for development:
OpenUI5 – SAP UI5 unter Open Source Lizenz
Kaum zu glauben und ziemlich unerwartet, kurz vor Weihnachten hat SAP der „Community„ noch ein dickes Geschenk gemacht: OpenUI5 ist da! SAP UI5 unter Open Source Lizenz Im November noch schrieb ich im Beitrag Quickstart – Entwickeln mit SAP UI5 „…SAP UI5 keiner Open Source Lizenz (zumindest bisher) untersteht ….“. Das ist nun alles anders. […]
