Introduction

The following steps guide you through creating and running three of the available Web Infrastructure Platform templates. Many of the templates are similar, and a knowledge of one template transfers to the others. On-screen help is available for every part of every template. You should complete the entire walk-through to become familiar with the AppDev Studio interface and the template requirements.
This walk-through creates a SAS Web Application Project and then builds upon itself, incrementally adding three templates to the project. Because the templates use the same Tomcat Web server, no changes to the server parameters are necessary.
This walk-through assumes the following:
  • a Tomcat Web server was installed and configured according to the cheat sheet “Configure a Tomcat Server for Testing” (part of the “New Workspace Setup” cheat sheet)
  • a SAS BI Server Profile exists for the servers that you are developing for
  • a Metadata Server Connection Profile exists for the server that you are developing for
  • a data table, a Web Report Studio report, and a stored process are available on the SAS Metadata Server. You can use any data source of the appropriate type when you build the example, but this walk-through uses the sashelp.class table, a report based on that table, and the stored process “Sample: Multiple Output Formats.”
This walk-through adds the following templates to the project in this order:
  1. JDBC TableView Servlet (uses SAS WIP)
  2. ReportViewer Servlet (uses SAS Web Report Viewer and SAS WIP)
  3. SAS Stored Process Servlet (uses SAS WIP)
