Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Java Open Clients

Preparing to generate proxies for a Java client in Windows using ProxyGen or Batch ProxyGen

To configure your Windows environment to generate a Java proxy:

Install Progress® OpenEdge® Studio, OpenEdge Development Server, or 4GL Development on a Windows system where you plan to run ProxyGen.

With these products, OpenEdge installs the JavaSoft Java Development Kit (JDK), which ProxyGen uses by default to compile a Java proxy.

If you want to use an alternate Java compiler to compile your Java proxies, install the appropriate JDK.

If you install an alternate JDK for ProxyGen to compile your Java proxies, you must specify your compiler location and CLASSPATH on the Java tab of the Generate dialog box of ProxyGen. For more information, see the section about the Java tab in OpenEdge Development: Open Client Introduction and Programming .

Make sure the Progress r-code for the proxy is accessible to your system.
Make sure both the Propath syntax and the r-code paths relative to the Propath setting (defined in the project file) are valid on this system.
Run ProxyGen from the icon.

Or:

Run Batch ProxyGen by executing the bproxygen command with an existing project file.

For more information, see the chapter on generating proxies and Web service definitions in OpenEdge Development: Open Client Introduction and Programming .
