All;
Software Tool & Die Inc. is pleased to announce that we have released a complete EAServer framework written in PowerBuilder 11.0.0 (or higher) that allows PowerBuilder developers the ability to develop complete pure ASP.Net 2.0 web applications that utilize the full power of EAServer, PowerBuilder and the Web DataWindow!
The framework has been uploaded to Sybase's CodeXchange server and includes a PowerDesigner diagram of the FC structure and PowerPoint presentation of its architectural approach. The STD FC's for EAS/PB have been developed over the past 4 years and are currently in use in production at various major Canadian Government Departments. The framework is ultra fast and can easily sustain 1,000 concurrent sessions per minute on one EAServer.
The STD EAS FC's are a port of the PocketBuilder FC's compliment originally designed for the PocketPC that include a hybrid adaptation of Web.PB with an ASP/ASP.Net alignment. The interesting thing about these classes is the "small" footprint and exceptional speed at which it operates. On one EAServer, where every CPU cycle is precious, the FC's have proven heir worth. Now you can enjoy a "Light" version of the PFC without the heavy learning curve or high compile overhead. The STD EAS FC's will compile to around 500K (PBD form) compared to nearly 12M for the Sybase PFC's which can not even be used within EAServer!
The STD EAS FC's represent a significant enhancement to the way a PB developer works (productivity), the capabilities of PB, and ptimization / leverage of the EAServer (Application Server) System. These FC's were developed with the PowerBuilder (PB) PFC in mind, but ... have been made easier to use, more efficient (less overhead), more intuitive, parameter driven and more "Object Oriented". Initial testing with one EAServer has shown this architecture can easily support 5,000 sessions minute or more!
Since this FC was developed in Canada's National capital, it was architected to support multiple languages. Of course Canada supports both rench and English, but the STD FC's were built to support any combination of languages, either now or in the future. The general approach is "static" language switching (where the user picks the language at "logon" time). However, the STD EAS FC's also support "dynamic" language switching as well.

Software Tool & Die Inc. is pleased to announce that we have released a complete ASP.Net 2.0 example webform (eStore) application built entirely from the STD FC's and within the PowerBuilder 11.0.0 IDE for EAServer. This demonstrates that you can use ANY version of PowerBuilder to develop rich ASP.Net 2.0 Webform applications that utilize the full of extensibility of EAServer, robustness of PowerBuilder and RAD power of the "Web DataWindow". The resulting applications will be able to: support any web browser; conform to strict Section 508 / CLF web design standards and; scale up exponentially for large web based activity!
The example "eStore" application has been uploaded to Sybase's CodeXchange server and includes documentation describing how to fully install and configure the application within the IIs, PB and EAS environments. Please look in the CodeXchange "PowerBuilder" section and then the "PB & EAServer" subsection to find this example and the original FC's posted there earlier.
The STD EAS FC's represent a significant enhancement to the way a PB developer works (productivity), the capabilities of PB, and optimization/leverage of the EAServer (Application Server) System.
