The server plug-in provides:
A deployment tool that wraps PowerBuilder NVOs as either Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) session beans or J2EE 1.4 Web services for deployment into a J2EE-compliant application server; for session beans, J2EE 1.3 and 1.4 are supported; for Web services, J2EE 1.4 or later is required
NVO
is a generic term used to describe “custom class user objects,” which
inherit directly from the PowerBuilder system type NonVisualObject.
A server runtime library that integrates a PowerBuilder Virtual Machine (PBVM) with an EJB container and an application server’s transaction and connection managers
A remote debugging component that permits debugging from the PowerBuilder IDE
A proxy server, which allows PowerBuilder clients to call deployed PowerBuilder NVOs, without the need for a client-side JVM
Sample deployment and configuration templates for getting started quickly and efficiently
Using the server plug-in, you can develop PowerBuilder components on the Windows platform. You can run the components on any platform where your application server supports a PBVM.
The deployment tool runs on your application server and emulates the PowerBuilder NVO deployment API.
