Hi, Yoann. My recommendation would be, as you mentioned: * To generate a preconfigured project through the quickstart archetype: this will configure an initial Isis project with a lot of capabilities, without the need to understand the complexities of Maven configuration, etc. (really common on Java projects). Yow saw it on the screencasts, and also there is the web page [1]. * Run it as also indicated on [1]. * Try to add more logic to the ToDoItem entity, and run the Wicket viewer in order to notice how the User Interface (and the database, REST API, etc.) is automatically adapted. For this, you have the following resources: - Know how to add business logic through properties, actions, etc. as detailed on [2], specially on the link [3].
If you are using Eclipse, there are some templates that you can use on [4] (the "Isis domain templates". The others are for supporting automated testing). If you install those templates, you can use the cheatsheet on [5] as a quick guide to the most common templates. Just to notice, as most probably you will use at the beginning the DataNucleus ORM, consider the following when adding properties: - For Non-Collections, is easier if you annotate each one with the "@javax.jdo.annotations.Column(allowsNull="true|false") " annotation. - For Collections, use the "isis-jdo-XXX" templates, as they have the proper JDO annotation to tell DataNucleus how to persist. Seems more complicated that currently is. As you add your own simple properties, collections, and actions to the model, and will see how all infrastruture is evolved automatically, you will be more confident and can start to create additional Domain Entities, their Repositories, etc. Perhaps others in the group can propose an easier approach, or other links to more info.
