1 | Welcome to the Sprite sample application for Larry Wall's JPL. This |
2 | application showcases a merging of Java and Perl in which Java is employed |
3 | to generate a user interface, and Perl is used for data access. |
4 | Specifically, Perl is used with Shishir Gundavaram's Sprite module to offer |
5 | permanent storage through SQL manipulation of text files. This application |
6 | is a Rolodex(tm)-style address file, offering the ability to add, edit or |
7 | delete names and addresses. You may also navigate through the address list. |
8 | |
9 | To use this example, you will need to install the Sprite module from CPAN. |
10 | |
11 | To install the sample, you must first have JPL installed and working. |
12 | Please ensure that you have set environment variables as directed in the |
13 | JPL README and that the JPL Sample program works. Once this has been |
14 | accomplished, you can build the files in this directory with the following |
15 | commmands: |
16 | |
17 | perl Makefile.PL |
18 | make |
19 | make install |
20 | |
21 | You can run this by typing: |
22 | |
23 | java JPL_Rolo |
24 | |
25 | The application should appear with some sample data, and you can mess |
26 | around with it and put all your friends in the address book. Far out! |
