Chapter 5 Using Application Integrator with Jaguar

Developing clients

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

You can also develop PowerDynamo clients. See Chapter 4, "Using PowerDynamo with Jaguar", for more information.

In general, to create Jaguar 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 it has been developed and compiled, your client performs method calls across the network to the Jaguar server and executes the corresponding component methods.

See the Jaguar CTS Programmer's Guide for more information on how to create clients.
