To validate the installation of the Genero Application Server without involving a Web
server, launch the stand-alone Genero Application Server and run a Genero Desktop Client demo
application.
Before you begin:Due to
configuration settings in the Genero Application Server configuration file, access to demo
applications needs to be configured. Make sure you have provided access to run the demo
applications from the localhost, see Example configuring access control for demo applications.
-
Set the GAS environment by executing the script $FGLASDIR/envas.
-
Launch the GAS Standalone: httpdispatch
For more information on starting the GAS standalone, and the various command options
available, see Startup and Command
Options.
-
Within the GDC, create a shortcut pointing to the demo application.
To create the shortcut, you must start the GDC in administrative mode using the
--admin or -a option. Refer to the Genero Desktop Client User
Guide for more information on creating shortcuts.
-
On the first page of the New Shortcut wizard, select the HTTP, through a web
server option.
-
On the second page of the New Shortcut wizard - the HTTP connection information page - provide
the application URL (http://myApplicationServer:6394/ua/r/gwc-demo) and specify the
HTTP Proxy mode as Direct connection.
On most systems, you can replace the myApplicationServer with
localhost for this test:
http://localhost:6394/ua/r/gwc-demo.
-
For the remaining pages of the Shortcut Wizard, you can accept the defaults and click
Finish.
The shortcut is added to the GDC.
-
To run the application, select the shortcut and click Start!.
Important: When you install the GAS using the .msi setup program, it sets the
ADDRESS element
(child of
INTERFACE_TO_DVM) to "127.0.0.1" within the
as.xcf file. When validating your
installation, if the Demos application fails to display (and you receive a runtime error), you
may have to replace the
INTERFACE_TO_DVM's
ADDRESS
element with the true IP address for the host machine.
