Recently, I configured WebMathematica in my system. I tested with inbuilt examples, all are working fine.

Basically, Helloworld program returns Date[] output. I tried with Dynamic wrapper around Date[], the corresponding code is below.

 <msp:evaluate>
  Dynamic[Date[]]
 </msp:evaluate>

I restarted server, it's not working. It shows Dynamic[Date[]] as output. In the same way I tried Buttoninstead of Date, the corresponding code is below, it's also not working, it returns Mathematica code.

 <msp:evaluate>
  Button[Style["Click", Black, Bold,25], (MessageDialog["This is Tested by Grandhi..."]), ImageSize -> {180, 60}, Background -> LightGray]
 </msp:evaluate>

I have 3 questions.

1.How can I fix this problem ?

2.where can I get good WebMathematica examples?

3.Do all Mathematica functions work in WebMathematica?

    Useful answer here: "The UI part of a webMathematica application can't be programmed in Mathematica but must be HTML" – cormullion May 29 '13 at 08:44
  • @cormullion how <msp:evaluate> will work,is it WebMathematica tag or Html tag. If we create GUI elements through HTML or any scripting language.how can Mathematica code interacted with that..for that I seen inbuilt examples code,I didn't understood anything.I understood up to,calling one html page to another page.after that I didn't understood anything. – subbu May 29 '13 at 10:02
  • I know less than you about webMathematica... I suggest you contact Wolfram Support to find out about training courses or post-sales support. Did your organization research the requirements before buying it? – cormullion May 29 '13 at 10:10
  • @cormullion earlier,we developed windows applications using Mathematica. After that we thought to develop web based Apps for that we are using Premier Service. I think it's free of charge. – subbu May 29 '13 at 10:31

    webMathematica is based on a very common technology called java server pages (JSP). msp is, I think, a shortcut for mathematica server pages and formally used as an xml namespace in that tag. If you interested what this all means and how it is used you definitely should read some documentation. As powerful as webMathematica is: you need to learn some technology before you can do stuff thats more advanced than what the examples provide. If the docs that come with webMathematica don't cover your needs you might find more information when searching for documentation about JSP and XML/XHTML. – Albert Retey May 29 '13 at 13:13

No. But Dynamic and Button and so on just are not and cannot be supported. However, you can programmmatically generate CDF files, and put them onto your server. And in CDF's, when run through the CDF-plugin (on a Windows or OSX client; no Linux yet unfortunately) you can have Button etc.

  • you mean,without setting CDF-plugin,we shouldn't create GUI elements through WebMathematica.is it right? how can I set CDF-plugin. Is there any tutorials for this? – subbu May 29 '13 at 08:22
