Genero Web Client for HTML5 (GWC-HTML5)

GWC-HTML5 delivers your applications over the Web using browser-based themes. This version of the GWC has been deprecated; new development should use the Genero Web Client for JavaScript (GWC-JS) instead.

GWC for HTML5

The GWC-HTML5 is installed as part of the Genero Application Server.

The GWC-HTML5 allows you to deliver true Web applications with applications developed in the Genero Business Development Language (BDL). Having the underlying source written in Genero BDL means that the GWC is flexible enough to let you build from a simple Web application to a corporate Web application with only a few limitations. It brings BDL applications to the Internet world and the ability to be integrated in a Web site.

GWC-HTML5 uses themes, comprised of templates and snippet sets, to create dynamic web pages.

Note: For details regarding these themes, consult the Genero Application Server 2.50 User Guide.

The GWC-HTML5 is no longer the default client for all Genero Web Client applications. The GWC-JS is another Web client that is also installed as part of the Genero Application Server, see Genero Web Client for JavaScript (GWC-JS).

How the GWC-HTML5 works

The GWC-HTML5's snippet-based rendering engine (SBRE) creates application Web pages dynamically on the Application Server for delivery to the client browser using technologies, such as Client-Side Framework, understood by a browser. The AUI tree (provided by the DVM) and the template and snippet files (set by the application configuration) are used to create an XML / xHTML document that is passed to the user agent.

It can deliver the application to any device equipped with a Web browser.
