Using the Project painter

You use the Project painter to create and maintain PowerBuilder projects that build all these different objects. The Project painter allows you to streamline the generation of the files your target needs and to rebuild easily when you make changes. There is a wizard to help you set up each project type.

Table 34-1lists the types of projects you can create and what you can build using the project.

**Table 34-1: Project types**
Project	What it builds
Application	An executable file and optional dynamic libraries.
Application Server Component	One or more application server components based on custom class user objects that are deployed to a J2EE-compliant application server and can be used with any application server client or component.
Application Server Proxy	One or more proxy objects (stubs) that can be used by a PowerBuilder client to access functions in application server components. The application server components can be built with PowerBuilder or another development tool.
EAServer Component	One or more EAServer components based on custom class user objects that are deployed to EAServer and can be used with any EAServer client or component.
EAServer Proxy	One or more proxy objects (stubs) that can be used by a PowerBuilder client to access functions in EAServer components. The EAServer components can be built with PowerBuilder or another development tool.
EJB Client Proxy	One or more proxy objects (stubs) that can be used by a PowerBuilder client to access functions in an EJB component on an application server.
.NET Assembly	A .NET assembly containing one or more custom class user objects.
.NET Web Forms Application	An application that can be deployed to ASP.NET.
.NET Web Service	A .NET Web service containing one or more custom class user objects.
.NET Windows Forms Application	An application that can be deployed to .NET as a Windows Forms application and optionally published to a Web, file, or FTP server as a smart client application.
Web DW Container	An EAServer component that contains your DataWindow definitions and is deployed to EAServer. It uses the interface of the generic Web DataWindow server component.
Web Service Proxy	A proxy object that can be used by a PowerBuilder client to invoke a Web service defined in a WSDL (Web Services Description Language) file.
