Connecting To a Progress AppServer
To specify an AppServer connection for an Open Client application, you provide the same connection information as for a 4GL client application. How you provide the connection information depends on your type of client. For Java clients, you pass the connection information as a set of parameters to the AppObject constructor. For ActiveX clients, you specify the connection information as a set of parameters to a connect method on an AppObject. For more information on the connection mechanisms for a specific type of Open Client, see:
- "Programming Java Clients" for Java Open Clients.
- "Programming ActiveX Controller Clients" for ActiveX Open Clients.
The connection information includes character-string parameters that Progress passes to the AppServer. While the application can require any character-string information, you typically pass the following parameters:
- AppServer URL — AppServer connection information depends on the connection type. See "Connecting Over an Intranet" and "Connecting Over the Internet."
- User-ID — AppServer user identification
- Password — AppServer password
- AppInfo — Application-specific information
