Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
WebClient Applications


Setting up the WebClient install and bootstrap mechanism

The following section provides information about the WebClient and bootstrapping.

To set up the WebClient install and bootstrap mechanism:

  1. Recursively copy the webinstall\webclient\web_image directory located in your OpenEdge installation directory to the web_image subdirectory of your Web server’s document root directory.
  2. Edit the bootstrap.htm file (which was copied in Step 1) so it references your WebClient install image and your application configuration file. In the bootstrap.htm file, replace the document.location.href and window.location URLs to match the location of your configuration and webclient.htm files, respectively. For example:
  3. document.location.href = "http://pctest/web_image/sportspro.prowcapc";
    
    window.location = "http://pctest/web_image/webclient.htm"; 
    

  4. Edit the webclient.htm file (which was copied in Step 1) as follows:
    1. Uncomment the lines that invoke the WebClient initializer. (Keep commented the lines that invoke the One-Click application install directly.)
    2. Change <URL to your .prowcapc file> to the http://%MYWEBSERVER%/web_image/sportspro.prowcapc URL. For example:
    3. ether.SetProperty(“ProwcappURL”, 
      “http://pctest/web_image/sportpro.prowcapc”);
