Running Proccess in separate thread

[Infop]

Hi,

Is it possible to run a process in separate thread in Web Client? So that it won't affect the normal operation.

Thanks,

[Jan Aleman]

Yes, you can do this with the headless client plugin. It allows you to tell the server to run a method (or more) and even register a callback once it is done. Because it actually is a normal client running serverside (but with no UI) it can run the same logic as web-client apps can.

Great, Jan to hear about the same. It is really AWESOME!!

Does this also work in rich client as well, because, I am looking for a both Rich and Web Client compatible solution? And another thing, I noticed, It needs to create a headless client for the same. Should I need to kill that client after finish with my task?

Thanks

yes this also works in the rich/smart client
kill it or reuse it (by that client or other clients)

We also have a video of this in Servoy University. I did one specifically on the Headless Client plugin if thats of any use to you. http://www.servoyuniversity.com

AM I correct in assuming that the headless client still consumes a client license?
So that for the duration of running the so-called "thread" that two licenses must be available?

[Jan Aleman]

Yes, headless client uses a concurrent license while running.
