Java Client for Progress 9.1A

Hi,

We are involved in developing an application with java/j2ee. The application needs to be interface with Progress (MFG/PRO). Is there any integration component for Java with Progress?

It basically needs to run a progress code (.p file) through some interface.

The progress version is 9.1A and MFG/PRO version eB-sp5.

We heard that JProgress is used to integrate java and progress. Had anybody used this component? We like to know the performance of JProgress as well.

Thanks in advance.

Elango.
 
Thanks for quick reply,

We are primarily looking for integration between Java & Progress.

We are not able to get sufficient information about the compatibility of the Progress version (9.1A) & OpenEdge Java Clients.

Moreover we are looking for other options for Java integration. JProgress seems to solve our requirement (in the documentation it has been mentioned that we can run .p file or its compiled version). We are intrested to know the performance of JProgress.

Please suggest if you know any other java interface components for Progress 9.1A

Thanks,
Elango
 
I have looked a little deeper in the doc too, and you're right, it seems to be able to run .p files. About performance, I'm sorry I can't help you.

I have tried to make Progress clients talk with a Java server, and I managed to do this through sockets. Maybe you could imagine a similar way to do the reverse !
 
Thanx for the reply.

Can you please advice me which version of OpenEdge Server is suitable for Progress 9.1A. I could not get the version compatibility matrix from Progress site.

The primary intention is to identify the best possible integration tool for Java.

OpenEdge = Progress version 10.

The server version must be less than or equal to the client version so OpenEdge server is NOT compatible with Progress version 9.

BTW 9.1A is extremely obsolete. You should upgrade it. If you insist on staying with version 9 then 9.1E04 is the most recent release. It is also the last release and is itself quite old. If you're doing new development you really ought to upgrade to OpenEdge 10.1B (or wait a few months and go with 10.1C).

By the way, do you have any information about the new features brought by the 10.1C release, and an idea of its expected date ?

Thanks in advance !
 
it would be a pretty straight forward job to build a web application that accepts requests and passes xml and json, on version 9.

in version 10 you could also create java proxies for progress programs running on a server that pass java sdo's.

we also do outsourcing these days. private message me if you're looking for someone to handle the progress bit.
 
btw you could also use an appserver component to bridge between version 9 and version 10, if you needed these features.

at a minimal cost and minimal effort.
