Progress Dynamics Web Development Guide

URL syntax for Progress Dynamics Web applications

The URL syntax for accessing Progress Dynamics Web applications is:

Syntax

http://host_name[:Port_Num]/{virtual_dir|actual_path} /dhtml/default.htm?icfobj=object_name

host_name[:Port_Num]

Specifies the name of the machine running the Web server. You might also need to specify a port number if your Web server uses something other than the default port number (which is usually 80).

virtual_dir|actual_path

Specifies the directory where the Progress Dynamics static files are installed. This might be a virtual directory that you configured during installation. You can also specify the actual pathname. However, the advantage of using virtual directories is that you can hide file location details from your end users.

dhtml

Specifies the directory (under virtual_dir or actual_path) where the static CSS, JavaScript, and HTML files are located.

default.htm

Specifies the default HTML page, in which the Progress Dynamics object runs. There is a sample default HTML layout page (default.htm) in the dhtml directory. For more information about default.htm, see the "Default HTML file" section.

Note: Unlike standard WebSpeed, the Broker is not directly stated in the URL. The Progress Dynamics Broker is located either through a reference in the default HTML layout page or through extension mapping. For more information, see the "Specifying the appropriate Progress Dynamics Broker" section.

icfobj=object_name

Specifies which Progress Dynamics object to run. The icfobj variable is recognized by the Request Manager as containing the name of an object in the Repository.
