Re: (forte-users) XML/HTTP clients

Question

Hi,
As much as I know, DS Data Systems has done a Java client using http with Web
Enterprise (from Web Designer). They have called it JDesigner (it was showed at
the Forte Forum of San Francisco in May). I have myself experienced the use of
External connections to make performance testings on Web Enterprise last
summer. I used a Forte Client http to make an injector on port 80. It worked
very well.
For DHTML, I'm actually testing some solutions for "Outline field" and "menus".
It works... It costs 8-10 ko for each script. But, it is really not easy to
debug, to maintain, and you need different codes for each brower! Netscape is
really unstable also. This may not be applicable with release 3 of IE and NS.
You can find some good code samples on http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/
But, it may be a good solution for Intranet and it should be possible to
generate menus and outline from the HttpScanner as it is for DropLists for
instance.
Hope this helps,

Does anyone out there have any experience, experimental or production, with
using XML over HTTP instead of IIOP to communicate with non-Forte clients
from R3 server components? If so, any pointers? Performance issues?
Special problems? Recommendations?
How about with using DHTML for the client compared to say Java?
TIA

Answer 1

You can also use the HTTP-DC project.... You don't
need Web Enterprise for this. From what I can tell,
this is available in L.x on....
There is api documentation in M.2 (with scant
examples.)
There's a special process to put the project in your
repository (it isn't installed in the repository in
the standard install,) the documentation in M.2
(probably in M.0 too, AFAIK) that tells you how to do
this (look for HTTP-DC in the online help.)
I haven't done much with it yet, I've just installed
it. If anybody out there has examples, that'd be
great. I'll try to contribute more the moment I get a
chance to explore it....
