Packaging gwa files

Using the fglgar tool to build a Genero Web Application (gwa) file allows you to deploy applications that are ready to run in a browser.

The fglgar tool run with the gwa command creates a gwa file that embeds the Genero Browser Client.

Once you have created an archive for your application, you can now deploy it on the GAS. The application can then be accessed at a URL on the server where the GAS is running: http://host:port/gas/gwa/myapp/index.html

A typical fglgar gwa command is shown:
fglgar gwa --gwa gwa_dist -o myapp
The example uses two of the command's mandatory options:
  • The --gwa option is mandatory. It allows you to specify the path to the Genero Web Application directory to create the gwa file. You must have a Genero Web Application already created to include in the gwa file. For details, go to gwabuildtool.
  • The --output or -o option is mandatory. It specifies the name and relative or absolute path to the gwa file to generate.
