The HydraExpress distribution contains a number of compiled examples, including the HelloWorldExample servlet described in this section. After you have started the Agent using the rwsfserver script, or from the Start menu on Windows, these examples are available at any of the following URLs:
• http://localhost:8090/
• http://localhost:8090/examples/
The source code for these examples is provided in the <installdir>\examples\servlet directory.
