Hi, I'm looking for the Gateway 8.3.X .jar extension from [https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.inductiveautomation.ignition/gateway](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.inductiveautomation.ignition/gateway) to compile my project and point it to the new namespaces, but I can't find it. Could someone tell me how to solve this? ---

Have you looked at [GitHub - inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples: Ignition SDK Example Projects](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples) yet? You should be using Maven or Gradle, and configuring the IA Nexus repositories like this: - Maven: [ignition-sdk-examples/opc-ua-device/pom.xml at f9aa673775043d4dafb0eddcc77981645528a2a2 · inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples · GitHub](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/blob/f9aa673775043d4dafb0eddcc77981645528a2a2/opc-ua-device/pom.xml#L40-L81) - Gradle: [ignition-sdk-examples/perspective-component/settings.gradle.kts at f9aa673775043d4dafb0eddcc77981645528a2a2 · inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples · GitHub](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/blob/f9aa673775043d4dafb0eddcc77981645528a2a2/perspective-component/settings.gradle.kts#L14-L43) Then your project should just point to the Ignition SDK pom artifacts. ---

In version 8.3, how would I create this section, and where would this configuration be displayed? I've followed the examples, but it's not showing me anything. ---

You need to follow this specific example: > **[ignition-sdk-examples/webui-webpage at ignition-8.3 ·...](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/tree/ignition-8.3/webui-webpage)** > > Ignition SDK Example Projects. Contribute to inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples development by creating an account on GitHub. Yes, as an example, it is so thin as to be practically transparent, but the critical details are there. (It adds a general menu entry to launch the example page.) Everything you knew about v8.1's Wicket UI is entirely abandoned. You have to start over with React. ---

Thanks for the example. My question is how to combine what I design in React with persistent variables, and have them accessed from the Gateway. ---

You have to add API routes to exchange information between React on the front end and Java on the backend. Typically in JSON format, but up to you.
