  3. Agenda • Introduction DWP • Internet demo • Introduction Open Edge Reference Architecture • Applying OERA to DWA • .NET Client & HTML Client

  4. What is DWP? • A Framework • A Thin Client Architecture for running distributed ASP-type solutions • Designed for PERFORMANCE and SCALABILITY • Implements the One Click, One Call paradigm • Pragmatic and proven • Ultra Thin Client • Ultra Thin Server

  5. Device Tailored Heavy Footprint Broad Reach HTML Client/Server DWP Tough to Deploy Rich UI Complex To Develop Rich User Experience Rich User Experience Developer Productivity Developer Productivity Realtime data Realtime data Poor User Experience Easy Change Management Easy Change Management DLL Hell Easy to Deploy Easy to Deploy Responsive Responsive Thin Client Evolution

  6. A little history • In 2000 The Greenery needed an ASP architecture to communicate with growers • Architecture had to support 7,000 users over the internet • None of the big players could deliver this • ADM II was way too slow • Why?

  7. Why was ADM II slow? • Many AppServer calls • Too much network traffic • Excessive client deployment size A completely new architecture was developed using the latest dynamic Progress 9.1 features

  8. The Solution The Three Golden Rules • Reduce AppServer calls • Reduce network traffic • Reduce client .r code Makes perfect sense Nobody did it before

  9. Apply the Golden Rules • All screen data must be returned in a single (stateless) AppServer call • Reduce network traffic to an absolute minimum • Create windows dynamically

  10. The Results • Response times below 1 second on 28.8k dial-up connections • Ultra thin Client • Additional advantage: also very small server footprint

  11. In 2001 The Greenery went into production with great success • Netsetup developed DWP based on this architecture • Today DWP is still the fastest commercially available platform on the market

  12. "The Computerworld Honors are presented on an annual basis to men and women around the world who have achieved outstanding progress for society through visionary use of information technology," said Patrick J. McGovern, chairman of the Computerworld Honors Chairmen's Committee and the founder of International Data Group.

  32. How does DWA fit in OERA? • Business Logic and UI are strictly separated • Open AppServer based • Runs on OpenEdge 10 • Web Service enabled • Supports multiple data sources • It is easy to develop multiple clients using Open AppServer • So your investments are future proof

  33. How does DWA not fit in OERA? • NOT Service Oriented • API is UI based
