Integrate WebSpellChecker products into your web application. Do not use 2880 port when accessing samples or other statics files like wscbundle.js file as such files will be processed by a selected web server or Java application server. 2880 is an internal port that WSC AppServer listens to and which is designed to process service requests (check spelling, grammar and others). Visit Products and integrations guides to learn more how to get started with WebSpellChecker products, one of them being WProofreader. Depending on the type of elements, namely HTML native elements or rich text editors where the spelling and grammar check is needed, you may choose and use the demo samples that are shipped with the package. To access the default samples, go to http(s)://your_host_name:port/wscservice/samples/ where port is the port of your web server or Java application server. The default samples contains all the necessary samples and instructions that will help with the integration of the WebSpellChecker products. Moreover, each sample contains detailed development documentation with a list of methods and parameters available.Option A. Integration Guides
