I need a website form to initiate a method within our Servoy Server. Specifically the website will process a new registration, take down client specifics, process payment and then transfer this information to Servoy Server. Possible?
Would appreciate some pointers to learning the technical and security issues.
Kind regards,
Headless client is one way to go. At Servoy World we showed how we do that in one case. There it is the same story: users register on a web server and that information has to go through Servoy logic.
So basically the web server can call a method in a headless client. That method retrieves the arguments and does something with the data. When done, an error or success message is thrown back to the process that called the servlet.
Hope this helps.

Sorry I missed that demo.
How does a web server call a method in a headless client? I’m stumped on that one. And what security issues are there to be concerned about?

Using java server pages (.jsp), see section 7.2 of the Dev Reference Guide… Specifically you use the executeMethod command within the jsp page.
And what security issues are there to be concerned about?
I believe you need to get an SSH certificate and set up your web server accordingly … AFAIK the stream would not automatically be encrypted.
