Getting started with a ZK web application is really very easy. It is based on XUL - XML UI Language which is the heart of Mozilla platform.
Here is the step by step process for the same.
Step 1: Create a dynamic web project
As a first step create a dynamic web project using Workshop.
Step 2: Unzip the ZK distribution
You can download the latest ZK distribution here - http://www.zkoss.org/download/
Unzip the downloaded installation on the filesystem.
Step 3: Copy Jars
Copy the following the jars listed below to WEB-INF/lib
- bsh.jar
- commons-el.jar
- commons-fileupload.jar
- commons-io.jar
- dojoz.jar
- fckez.jar
- Filters.jar
- gmapsz.jar
- groovy.jar
- jcommon.jar
- jfreechart.jar
- jruby.jar
- js.jar
- json_simple.jar
- timelinez.jar
- zcommon.jar
- zhtml.jar
- zk.jar
- zkplus.jar
- zul.jar
- zweb.jar
Note - that all of the jars listed above may not be necessary to run ZK.
Step 4: Modify your web.xml
Modify your web.xml file as the attached file -
Download web.xml
Step 5: Code the first ZUL UI file
Here is the simple zul file - Download login.zul file
Step 6: And Finally....
Now its time to start WLS10 from your Workshop. Add the newly created project for deployment.Open the zul file in the browser as normal html page -

Sorry for my late reply. I had imported ZK to Workshop. It's working now. Thanks!
BTW, I found a tutorial with screenshots at D2D China. But, it's in Chinese. http://dev2dev.bea.com.cn/techdoc/2007/04/java-soa-BEA-Workshop-ZK-image0470425.html

Ya its the simplicity of development and deployment that really amazed me. Another good part is the support in the forum. Its instantaneous most of the time. It seems these guys are always awake. One more important thing for me, they have now added mobile support.

Hey that's interesting. I found their user guide to be a nice demo. I've been using GWT, which is a great way to do Ajax, but this looks interesting....
