cannot connect to port 8200 without apptivity formdesigner
SITUATION:
==========
The customer is testing his applet or application outside the
Apptivity FormDesigner and gets the following message:
Apptivity cannot connect to host <hostname> on port 8200.
Usualy it is the localhost that will be referenced. To avoid this
the customer needs to start the abConnectionMgr on the machine that is
referenced. To do this, the customer should execute the following
command on the unix or dos prompt with the environment (CLASSPATH AND
PATH) in place.
java progress.apptivity.server.abConnectionMgr
This will start a process that will listen to port 8200 for incoming
calls.
WHY?
====
This has always worked when testing in the Apptivity developer
and now outside it fails with this error.
The reason for this is that when testing in the Apptivity developer
the abConnectionMgr will be started locally if needed whenever an
applet or application is started and configured to use a separate VM
on the Localhost. Running the application outside Apptivity Developer,
this process is not started automatically resulting in this error.
