A Hello World application
Now you are ready to test your installation by building a small Web page. This will confirm that your installation is functioning properly, and that Web browsers can access applications you build with VA Smalltalk. (You can also use the sample "Hello, World" page included in the AbtWebSamplesApp application.
To test your installation, follow these steps:
1. In the Organizer, select Open a Web Server Interface Monitor from the Options menu. (You can also do this from the Smalltalk Tools menu of the System Transcript window.)
2. In the Web Server Interface Monitor window, select the Start a WSI Server push button.
3. In the Start a WSI Server window, specify the port number through which WSI will connect to VA Smalltalk. This should be the same port number you specified in the WSI configuration file on the Web server. (See Customizing the WSI configuration file for more information about the WSI configuration file.)
4. In the Organizer, create a new part. For Part type, select Web Connection part.
5. Open the Composition Editor on the new part. You should see a single subpart, a Page.
6. Go to the Web Connection category and select Text. Place the Text part inside the Page.
7. Open the settings of the Text part. On the Text page, set the Text to be displayed to read Hello, World!
8. Save the part. Select the test button,
