GOAL:
What are the requirements for a WebClient configuration?
GOAL:
What are the main components for a WebClient Interface?
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems
FIX:
A WebClient provides a convenient method to Install applications, deploy them, upgrade code and collect data. It is often used by Application Service providers as an option to deploy their applications through a web environment in both intranet and Internet. All WebClient applications require to access database information through an AppServer since WebClient deployment cannot establish a direct database connection. All the interaction between client and database in both reading and writing, must be made through an Application Server.
The required components of a WebClient configuration are:
- An installation and configuration of an AppServer Internet Adapter (AIA) with a Java Servlet Engine (JSE) that supports Progress. (By April 2011, The JSE version 2.3 Tested by Progress Software). The most popular AIA?s are Tomcat, JRun and New Atlanta, however Progress doesn't make any recommendations for any of them.
- A Web Server and a network environment where the Application resides.
- An Application configured and running on your Application Server (This Application should be able to access Databases and their Data if it is required)
On the client side it is required:
- A PC with Windows platform (XP or Vista)
- Enough disk space to install the WebClient Application
- If there is involved an application that uses ActiveX control it would be required you to install it.
- The right privileges in Windows to Download and install a WebClient Application.
