Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
WebClient Applications

Hosting your application component files

The Codebase Locator specifies the location of the component (.CAB) and component update files for your application. When hosting an application using IntelliStream, you can host the component files on a Web server, AppServer, or file server.

In addition to specifying the server type at the WebClient Application Assembler Codebase Locator Definition dialog box, you also specify a URL that enables WebClient to access the component and component update files. For more information about specifying a codebase locator, see Chapter 4, " Designing the Deployment Configuration."

You should copy the version directory and its contents, including all its subdirectories, to the location that you specified in the Codebase Locator Definition dialog box. The application version directory on the server machine must have the same name as the version directory in the WebClient Application Assembler Generate dialog box.

When hosting your application, you can use:

An AppServer — The version directory for the application must be relative to the AppServer’s working directory.
A Web server — The version directory for the application must be relative to the root directory of your Web server.
A File server — The version directory for the application should be a subdirectory of the directory specified in the file URL.
