Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Open Client Introduction and Programming

General tab

The General tab has the following fields for choosing the clients you want to generate and specifying output settings common to all of them:

Client Proxy to Generate — Check each desired type of client: .NET, Java, or Web Services. By selecting one or more check boxes, you can generate any or all the Open Client proxies and/or a Web service definition for the same set of Open Client interface definitions in ProxyGen.
AppService — This field allows you to specify an application service name that relies on an OpenEdge NameServer to locate an appropriate AppServer.

AppService can contain the name of an application service known to the NameServer or AppServer being accessed through the interface. To use the name of the AppObject in the AppService field, select the Use Default check box.

Output Dir — This field specifies an output directory where ProxyGen places output files from generation, including the proxy files (.class and .dll), .NET runtime assemblies (.dll, for .NET only) Web service definition files (.wsm and .wsdl), and the activity log (AppObject.log).

To make the output directory more portable, you can use dot (.) or some other relative path as your Output Dir setting for all application development.

Note: ProxyGen does not clean the output directory before generation. If there are existing files in the directory with the same name as a generated file, ProxyGen overwrites the existing files. Similarly, ProxyGen ignores any obsolete client proxy or log files, which you can remove manually from the directory.
Author, Version — Use these free-form fields to enter any comments you want to include in the Open Client interface definition. These are included as “Author” and “Version” source comments in the Open Client proxies and Web service definition.
Verbose Logging — Select this check box to have detailed information output to the log file.
