Front Ends and Extensions

The Genero Application Server can serve applications using various front ends and extensions.

Genero Desktop Client (GDC)
The Genero Desktop Client allows you to run the application through the GAS, yet deliver the application locally using the GDC. For more information about the Genero Desktop Client, refer to the Genero Desktop Client User Guide.
Genero Web Client (GWC)
The Genero Web Client allows you to deliver Genero applications in a Web browser, without having to install any software on the client machine. The Genero Web Client is provided as part of the Genero Application Server installation. For more information about the Genero Web Client, refer to the Genero Application Server User Guide.
Genero Web Services (GWS)
Genero Web Services allows you to implement Web services. Web services are a standard way of communicating between applications over the internet or an intranet. A web service can be a server that exposes services or a client that consumes a service. For more information, refer to the Genero Business Development Language User Guide.
Genero Desktop Client ActiveX (GDCAX) - Deprecated!
The Genero Desktop Client ActiveX allows you to run the Genero Desktop Client via a Web site or HTTP address. The first time you access the client in ActiveX mode, the Genero Desktop Client ActiveX software installs itself on your client machine and creates a shortcut in Windows™ Start Menu. The Genero Desktop Client can then be executed from the web page or directly using the shortcut. For more information and installation instructions for Genero Desktop Client ActiveX , refer to the Genero Desktop Client User Guide.
