Enhancing the HP e3000 User Interface

VPLUS+
VPLUS+ is a set of Java classes that can communicate with existing VPLUS applications running
on your HP e3000. VPLUS+ allows you to use Java to web-enabled, or use the Java foundation
classes to place a graphical front-end on your VPLUS applications. Usually NO programming
changes need to be made to your existing application. We redirect the VPLUS intrinsic call to
communicate with our Java classes. A Java programmer would use these objects to
communicate with a VPLUS application from an applet, application or Java Server Page (JSP).
NO Middleware is required. We communicate directly via TCP/IP from the Java Client to the
VPLUS server application.
A set of conversion programs is provided that convert existing formsfiles into Java applets, or
applications. Very minimal code is added to the Java applet, or application to identify the
VPLUS program, launch the program, and communicate with the program. You may use your
favorite IDE tool such as Symantec Café, to develop a whole new look-and-feel. As long as you
use our extended components, the VPUTBUFFER and VGETBUFFER will be handled
automatically.
Using Java as the front-end for your VPLUS applications will also allow you to open your
VPLUS application to other applications, real-time. You can populate choice boxes from other
data sources on other platforms. From our experience with HP e3000 customer‘s we see a lot
of older application that require dual entry. VPLUS+ eliminates this by using a Java front-end to
communicate with two different applications from one Java application.
It’s so easy to use. We have converted entire applications in just hours.
