How You Can Deploy Web Applications
You deploy applications to the Web using the MakeCab utility. To deploy an application to the Web, you would perform the following steps.
1. Use the MakeCab utility to create an HTML page that references the OpenROAD eClient runtime and your application, using the HTML OBJECT tags.
2. Install the HTML page, the eClient runtime CAB, and your application CAB on your web server.
3. The end user then references the HTML page from an Internet Explorer browser, and the application launches.
The web server administrator can provide new versions of the application, the application libraries, or the OpenROAD eClient runtime by simply placing updated CAB files on the web server, and then updating the version number referenced in the OBJECT tags on the HTML page. The updated components are automatically downloaded and installed on users' machines the next time the component is referenced.
Note: For more information on deploying web applications using the OpenROAD eClient, see the Workbench User Guide.
