A PowerBuilder application can act as a client to an EAServer component. To access a method associated with a component on the server, the PowerBuilder client needs to connect to the server, instantiate the component, and invoke the component method.
In general, you use an instance of a Connection object to connect to EAServer. If you want to create a CORBA-compatible client, you can use the JaguarORB object to establish the connection to the server. By using the JaguarORB object, a PowerBuilder client can access EAServer in the same way that a C++ client would.
You can use the techniques described in this chapter to build clients for EJB components running in EAServer. For information about building a client for EJB components on EAServer and other J2EE-compliant servers, see Chapter 29, “Building an EJB client.”
