In a previous post, I said I would post an example that demonstrates the use of the OpenEdge Dynamic OpenClient. Well here is the Java version of it. This post is an extensive discussion of the example and how it is structured. Enjoy.

OpenEdge Dynamic OpenClient
Jul 29
In one of the more recent versions of OpenClient, the API that the OpenClient uses is documented so that it is now possible to dynamically construct the proxy calls at run-time. The overarching benefit in this lies in the ability to now define the temp-table definitions on the fly. The Java/.NET code can now define the temp-table dynamically at run-time so that if a change is made to the definition, the client can deal with the change with no impact on the OpenClient source code.
In 1999 Progress held a user conference in Boston where they showed the any-any-any model. Progress was going to become open. You could connect any client on any platform to any database using a Progress AppServer to handle your business logic. This was a really good idea. The preceding 10 years had taught me that Progress was an outstanding platform for writing the business logic that controlled your application and ensured your data integrity. I was sold.

Things have been busy for the last couple of months, but here is a preview of what I have been working on.
