Servoy Headless Client in another server

Classic Servoy

Hi, can a Servoy app talk with an SHC in another application server or another machine? I’d like to expose a service in a separate server. Should I use SHC or an Axis2 Project? Can Servoy Application Server run Axis2 Projects?

Erik,

You may want to have a look at the rest_ws plugin, bundled with Servoy, for exposing a service.
The client can connect with the http plugin.

Does Servoy have a tutorial on how to expose a service using rest_ws plugin?

Just wanted to make sure. Can a Smart Client communicate to a Servoy Headless Client in another application server or another machine?

yes, they can communicate through the webservices plugin

For documentation on the RESTful WebService plugin: have a look at the documentation :-)

Servoy runs Tomcat, so yes, you could add Axis2 to the Server. Axis2 is however focused mainly on SOAP webservices (if I recollect correctly), which are basically old technology. The tendency is to replace Soap with RESTful.
