Chapter 6 Using Application Integrator with EAServer

Developing clients

After deploying AI components, you create a client that executes the methods in the components just like you would any other EAServer component. You can create PowerBuilder, Java, Enterprise JavaBeans, C++, ActiveX, and PowerDynamo clients.

To create EAServer clients:

1. Use Jaguar Manager to generate Java or C++ stubs, or ActiveX proxy interfaces that correspond to the components.
2. Write the source files and include the stubs or import the proxy interfaces you created with Jaguar Manager.
3. Compile the source files.

Stubs and proxy interfaces contain the method prototypes that you include in your client source files and network marshalling code. After you have developed and compiled your client, it performs method calls across the network to EAServer and executes the corresponding component methods.

See the EAServer Programmer's Guide for more information on creating clients.
