Using MASP verses ActiveX and Java  Chapter 6: Using Message Bridge for Java with EAServer

Chapter 5: Using PowerDynamo with EAServer

Setting up PowerDynamo as a client

For Dynamo to access EAServer as a client, the machine on which Dynamo is installed must be set up properly. This setup depends on whether you are using ActiveX, Java, or MASP calls from the Dynamo client to the EAServer components.

Setting up PowerDynamo to use ActiveX

To create ActiveX objects to access an EAServer component:

  1. Ensure that EAServer Manager is installed on the Dynamo machine. If you do not install EAServer Manager on the Dynamo machine, you must copy and register the TLB/REG files for the package onto the Dynamo machine.

  2. Install the ActiveX Proxy Automation Server on the Dynamo machine.

  3. From EAServer Manager, connect to the server that contains the required components.

  4. Generate TLB/REG files for the package, which generates ActiveX proxy objects that are used to create instances on the client and invoke methods on remote EAServer components.

  5. Verify that the package has been registered.

Setting up PowerDynamo to use Java

To create Java objects to access an EAServer component:

  1. Ensure that EAServer Manager is installed on the Dynamo machine.

  2. From EAServer Manager, generate stubs for the desired package.

  3. Ensure that the Java Code Base path is in your CLASSPATH.

  4. Compile the generated Java files.

  5. Ensure that the Sun Java VM has been set. This is the only VM that works with EAServer.

  6. Ensure that Dynamo is configured for Java support.

  7. Set your default EAServer settings.

Setting up PowerDynamo to use MASP

Setting up Dynamo as a client machine to use MASP calls requires only that a connection to EAServer exists. There are two types of connections that you can create:

For detailed information on setting up Java or ActiveX clients, or accessing EAServer MASP methods from a client, see the EAServer Programmer's Guide.
