Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Advanced Development

Request Manager

The Request Manager supports requests that come in from a Web browser using the WebSpeed front-end to Progress Dynamics. The Request Manager plays two main roles in the processing of each request. The first is to evaluate the request and set up the environment in the correct and proper state for processing the actual request. The second role is the processing of the actual incoming Web request by executing the procedures and managers according to the request type. This manager mimics a large section of GUI client 4GL behavior. As new non-4GL client types are added to the framework, the Request Manager will provide a standard channel through which all client requests are handled and communicated to the standard framework support code on the server.
