Explore the basic fundamentals behind the Genero Application Server.
The Application Web Address
To access an application, you specify the necessary information in the browser's address bar by entering in the appropriate application URI.
Automatic Discovery of User Agent (adua.xrd) adua.xrd is the configuration file used by the Genero Application Server (GAS) to determine which Output Map to use, based on the User Agent that submits the request for a specific application.
Internationalization
How the Genero Application Server handles international applications.
Predefined Resources
Predefined resources for the Genero Application Server can be general or front-end specific.
Application Environment
When the Genero Application Server starts an application process, it sets environment variables from various sources. The application process can be started as a DVM, as an intermediate script or whatever is specified in the application configuration.
Delegate the start of an application or service
The GAS is able to delegate the start of a web application or a web service to another Genero REST service in order to perform some controls before granting access and starting the application.
GAS Directories
Files are created or touched in two main areas: in the Genero Application Server installation directory (identified by the environment variable $FGLASDIR) and in the Genero Application Server application directory (identified by the variable <appdata> and set by the resource res.appdata.path).
Genero demo applications
A variety of demo applications are provided to demonstrate Genero functionality.
