Chapter 6: Developing PowerBuilder Clients

This chapter describes how to develop PowerBuilder clients for EAServer components.

While the PowerBuilder IDE is not included with EAServer, the products are fully integrated and work well together. PowerBuilder allows you to generate non-visual objects (NVOs) that act as proxies for EAServer components. Using a proxy, you can call component methods as if they were implemented as local NVO methods. You can call any type of component from a PowerBuilder client, not just PowerBuilder NVO components.
