Table of StandardOutline not shown in GUI of Eclipse Scout

Question

I'm learning how to use Eclipse Scout and started with the tutorials found at Eclipse Scout Tutorials

I've proudly completed the first hello world tutorial and got stuck while trying to complete the Minicrm Tutorial

Everything went well until this step, when I needed to restart the server and any of the GUI clients to see that the table in the outline I just created is not well formatted. The problem: None of the clients show me the created table, they are all empty.

I ticked the visible field in every newly added column (all but the primary key column) and I don't see why no table is shown. I even tried to go on with the tutorial and setting the column width to 200 as desired, but still no table. I pasted the code for the Class CompanyTablePage below. A screenshot of the Scout Explorer is also provided. I really just started with Eclipse Scout and would appreciate any help or hints!

Thanks, Isa

Answer 1

it seems to me that you selected the wrong template when you created your Scout project.

Are you sure you choose "Outline based application" ?

The different types are described here: type of application.

The main difference is located in Desktop#execOpened() of your scout application. You will need to change this implementation by hand.

Depending on the chosen template, the SDK add some default elements (a Form, an Outline...) during the project creation. You can add these elements after the project creation.
