Business Case - Thin Client
Any standard HTTP based Web Service (such as HTML and Java) that needs to deliver Server Side active server pages (ASP).

Description
This configuration uses the WebPublisher Studio server to deliver active server pages to a Thin Client API (in this case a web browser). This allows the leveraging of data from the enterprise database to users on the internet. You can think of this installation as doing ASP or PHP for Omnis Studio.

How it works
Active server pages are requested using standard HTTP CGI form handlers (Name Value Pair) programmed using the WebPublisher Studio Development Client . Web-based login sessions are managed by the Session Management tools provided in the API. Users can log into an account, submit forms, view and interact with web content, search database content etc. In this example the database is managed with a WebPublisher Studio Thick Client application (see the Thick Client case study for more information) although data can be managed using other database tools.
