Specifying generation settings
Among the settings you can specify to complete an Open Client interface are a set of preferences for generating Open Client proxies or Web service definitions. This information becomes part of the Open Client interface definition. You can set and change these generation settings at different points in a ProxyGen session:
- To change the default preferences for creating a new Open Client interface, use the Preferences dialog box (choose Options
Preferences from the menu bar). - To change the preferences for the for the current Open Client interface before generation, use the Generate dialog box (choose File Generate or the Generate toolbar button).
These options specify such information as an application service name for the AppServer connection, compiler options for Open Client proxy generation, and WSDL style and use for Web service generation. By default, ProxyGen initializes these settings from and saves them to the OpenEdge-install-directory\properties\proxygen.xml file.
Both the Preferences and Generate dialog boxes set generation preferences in a tab folder with four tabs:
You can specify a local preferences file in the properties of the ProxyGen icon. See the "Using ProxyGen execution options" section.
