Before you can begin to develop WebSpeed applications, you must specify a WebSpeed broker in the AppBuilder. The WebSpeed broker must be connected to the same database that is connected to the AppBuilder (or the database must have the same schema as the database that is connected to the AppBuilder).
Runningsample applications contains an example of starting a WebSpeed broker connected to the sample Sports2000 database.
To specify a WebSpeed broker in the AppBuilder:
1. Choose Options > Preferences from the AppBuilder main window.
2. Choose the WebSpeed tab.
3. Type the URL of the WebSpeed broker in the Broker URL field.
The following code shows the general syntax for specifying a broker URL:
Specifies the name of the machine that is running the Web server.
port
Specifies the port number of the Web Server. The port number is optional if the Web Server uses the default port number, which is 80. For example, if a Web Server's port number is 88, the initial part of the URL might be specified as http://myhost:88.
scripts_dir
Specifies the Web server scripts directory for a CGI or ISAPI Messenger. Omit this component if you are using an NSAPI Messenger.
messenger
Specifies the messenger name.
For a CGI Messenger, add the filename (or pathname relative to the scripts directory) of your CGI Messenger script (cgiip.exe). For an ISAPI Messenger, add the filename (or pathname relative to the scripts directory) of the DLL (wsisa.dll). For an NSAPI Messenger, add the filename of the DLL (wsnsa.dll).
broker
Specifies the WebSpeed broker name.
4. Click Test to verify the connection. (Be sure that you specify the path of your default browser's executable file before testing.)
