Blackberry 10 Webworks with Worklight

We are starting a BlackBerry 10 project using version 6.0.0.2 of IBM Worklight, following official product documentation.

The docs about the building and running of the app refer to Webworks 1.x and Ripple. Unfortunately I cannot find a way to make Ripple works with our Blackberry 10 project because we cannot start the Ripple services.

In order to run the app we are following these steps:

  • Zip the www folder of the Blackberry10 generated project (www.zip)

  • build the project in debug mode using webworks from command line

    bbwp www.zip

  • After plugging a device or a simulator and installed the debug key on the device I run

    blackberry-deploy -installApp -device <devie/simulator_IP> -package <BAR_file>

Is there a smarter way to build and run the app? What could be the reason why we cannot start Ripple?

I'm using webworks v 1.0.4.11 with IBM workligh 6.0.0.2

Is there a workaround to make our IBM Worklight 6.0.0.2 project run using Webworks 2.x?

Pointing WEBWORKS_HOME env variable to the Webworks 2.1 SDK folder we cannot build the Blackberry 10 environment.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Solution

  • Worklight does not currently support WebWorkbs 2.0 together with BlackBerry 10.
