Progress
Open Client
Developer’s Guide
Overview
The Progress Open Client Toolkit exposes Progress AppServer functionality to Open Clients (non-Progress clients). The Open Client Toolkit allows you to generate proxy objects, tailored for your particular type of Open Client, that encapsulate the remote 4GL procedures and functions supported on an AppServer. Your Open Client application can then access these AppServer procedures and functions through methods of the generated proxy objects.
The Open Client supports both intranet and Internet access to the AppServer. When you use the Internet, you can use HTTP/S to communicate through firewalls and optionally send secure encrypted data transmissions.
This chapter describes the general Open Client architecture and how ProxyGen encapsulates AppServer procedures map to proxy objects for access by Open Clients and has the following sections:
The other chapters provide information about how to develop and deploy Open Client applications to access generated proxy objects.
