Enabling WAI Services
Enabling WAI Services
Note
WAI is provided in Enterprise Server 4.0, but is not guaranteed to be supported
in future releases. We recommend that you do not develop new WAI
applications.
Web Application Interface (WAI) services are a kind of plug-in that uses the
Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). WAI applications can
be written in C, C++, or Java, and they interact with the Enterprise Server over
Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP). A WAI application runs within its own
process. WAI applications need an object request broker (ORB) to work.
Enterprise Server 4.0 does not ship with an object request broker (ORB). Before
using WAI applications, you must install Visibroker 3.3+ from Inprise. You can
get Visibroker3.3+ from the Inprise web site at:
http://www.inprise.com/products/
After installing Visibroker 3.3+, you will need to install WAI on your Enterprise
Server. You can do this by running through the installation process, and
choosing to install only WAI.
After you have installed WAI, the next step is to enable it on your server.
Enabling WAI services essentially turns on Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP)
support in the server.
To enable WAI services on your server, perform the following steps:
1.
From the Server Manager, choose the Programs tab.
2.
Click the WAI Handler link.
The WAI Administration window appears.
3.
To enable WAI services, click the Yes radio button.
4.
Save and apply your changes.
