Seaside FAQ: How To Get Seaside For VisualWorks

Starting with version 7.2.1, Seaside is shipped on the VisualWorks distribution CD.

Seaside can be loaded in the VisualWorks image using the Parcel Manager, section "Application Server" where you should be able to see the SeasideForWebToolkit parcel. There is some installation documentation in the parcel comments.

Seaside can also be loaded from the public Store repository where either of the following bundles can be loaded : - SeasideForWebToolkit, or - SeasideForSwazoo

Usually, loading from the repository may give you a more recent version of Seaside, also it gives the choice of loading older versions of Seaside. Since the repository is used to build the Seaside ports, it is possible to get an unstable version, therefore it is recommended to load Seaside from your hard disk using the Parcel Manager, unless you want to experiment with newer versions of Seaside or if you are using a version of VisualWorks older than 7.2.1.

After the VisualWorks installation, Seaside is located in the goodies/other/Seaside directory. More items can be found in this directory using the File Browser or the Parcel Manager, like an HTML Seaside introductory tutorial and the original Squeak code.

VisualWorks 7.3 comes with even more items that can be found in this directory:
