Can someone give me an example of how to call a specific Servoy method from an external application.
How to do this from Visual Basic would be great.
Hi Gary,
I can see only two possibilities …
-
is to have a customized JSP that is using Servoy HeadLesssClient and call it via HTTPRequest Operation from your application.
-
check the following thread (Servoy Interoperability):

To call a global method named ‘mymethod’:

Before FileMaker (oops…am I allowed to say that here?) provided a basic API that allowed us to call a specific script from an external application, we accomplished the same thing by using a “launch file” that contained only a single script (executed when the file was opened) that called another method in the main FMP app and then closed itself.
Can something like this not be done in Servoy?
Houston…we may have a problem.
No you don’t have a problem.
The headless client is suited for this.
You can find more info on how use it in the documentation or on the forum.
Basically, since the tomcat server is always on, you can use soap (see recent post on the forum for this) or use a jsp link to do this.
