Web Enabling Components for ClearPath MCP

Product Overview

Web Enabling Components for ClearPath MCP are a collection of prebuilt Microsoft COM and JavaBean components that can be used by Visual Basic and Java developers to build Web-enabled applications that communicate with MCP applications.

General Features

A component is a prebuilt, reusable piece of software that can be quickly and easily combined with other components or custom-written code to build a complete custom-tailored application. Web Enabling Components for ClearPath MCP are a collection of components that enable developers to create customized Visual Basic or Java applets and applications that access MCP server applications. Together, they provide services ranging from basic communication to full T27 emulation.

Component Overview

  • WebEnabler Control. This Microsoft COM Control can be used in a Visual Basic application. It implements a fully featured, multipurpose T27 terminal emulator. Web Enabler Control can be used to provide programming services to applications that act as T27 clients or process T27 data stream messages.

  • WebStation. This JavaBean component can be used in a Java application or applet. It implements a fully featured, multipurpose T27 terminal emulator. WebStation can be used to provide programming services to applications that act as T27 clients or process T27 data stream messages.

  • TerminalService. This JavaBean component implements the Terminal Services protocol of the Transaction Server Custom Connect Facility (CCF). Terminal Services provides the facilities necessary to emulate the services offered in the past to data communications devices. These facilities include terminal attribute negotiation, virtual terminal editing, and character set translation.

  • NXConnector. This JavaBean component implements several low-level CCF framing protocols including the COMSock Standard Message Frame. It is used for basic communication between a client application and CCF.
