Java/Progress Communications

[Mike Carroll]

We have a Java application that and we would like to get the Java client to execute/invoke some 4GL procedures on our Progress server.

The intention is simply to invoke the 4GL process - we don't really need to receive any data back (although some status information would be useful).

We don't currently have AppServer.

I've been looking at WebServices but it seems like overkill for what we want to do.

Can anyone suggest what solutions I should be looking at? You might save me a lot of time!

Thanks,

Mike.

if you rule out appserver, open clients, web services and sonic/jms

( for now maybe you could use the dev appserver, comes with a dev license )

you're pretty much left with sockets, maybe you could also get away with starting batches ?
