Development Process for Web Clients
Development Process for Web Clients
The process of creating a Pathway/iTS web client is shown in Figure 1-1.
To convert a SCREEN COBOL object program to a web client, you invoke the
Pathway/iTS converter utility through the CONVERT command in the SCREEN
COBOL Utility Program (SCUP). The converter scans the compiled SCREEN COBOL
object code and generates an equivalent web client.
The web client consists of a combination of Java code and HTML pages. Requester-
based business logic is converted to Java classes. Screen components are converted
to HTML pages with embedded JavaScript code to link them to the Java business
logic.
