Hello Web Service World

This guide demonstrates the basics of creating a JavaScript web service that processes incoming HTTP requests.

1. Create a JavaScript file. In this guide, we use the hellowebworld.js name for the file.
   • You can use your favorite JavaScript editor to create a JavaScript file.
   • Or you can create and edit a JavaScript file in your browser:
     1. On the websqlgui.html page, click Services and then New File.
     2. Enter the file name and click the OK button.
2. Add the following code to the file:

   response.write("Hello Web World");
   response.end();
                   

3. Save the file on the server:
   • If you use your favorite JavaScript editor, then:
     1. On the websqlgui.html page, click Services and then Upload File.
     2. In the file selection dialog, select the file and click Open. The file will be uploaded to the server.
   • Otherwise, use Command+S (Mac) or Control+S (Win) to save the file on the server.

To execute the JavaScript on the server:

1. In a browser, enter to https://thePublicDNS/hellowebworld.jsx. Note: the ending letter x indicates a server-side executable, otherwise the server assumes that a JavaScript file is requested by an HTML page and does not execute it, but looks for the file in the website directory (which is a different directory).
2. The browser will print "Hello Web World".
