Server Side Code

First try with a custom plankton app has succeeded. How to extend plankton and make your own server logic:

Start your java project. Include the plankton.jar library. In your app, import com.plankton.*. Create a new WebServer object. That's basically it. But that doesn't do anything more than running the plankton webserver on it's own.

To insert your own server logic - create a new class that extends com.plankton.WebPage, let's call it myapp.TestWebPage. Do something in the class, let's just write something to the page in the constructor of the class:

write("hello world");

Then, last step to attach it to a plk-file. Add the class reference to the initial <plk> node:

<plk template="template.html" class="myapp.TestWebPage">
... your design ...

Done. Run your app. Surf to your .plk page and the text "hello world" will be printed before any content in the file. My example here

The text I wrote from my custom class is "I'm running the PlanktonTest!!!"
