WEBDEV Concepts

110 Part 3: Development environment Generation modes In addition to websites, WEBDEV allows you to generate various types of projects. Sites Sites are the most common generation mode. WEBDEV is used to generate: • static or dynamic sites (Session or AWP). • PHP sites. Libraries A library is a single file that groups several elements of a WEBDEV project: pages, reports, etc. You have the ability to generate stand-alone libraries that can be used by other sites. External components The external components are application bricks allowing you to share one or more specific features between several applications. A component generated by WINDEV can also be used in a WEBDEV or WINDEV Mobile project. SOAP or RESTWebservices AWebservice (also called an XML Web service) can be generated from a WEBDEV project. AWebservice exposes a set of functions (one or more sets of procedures). It makes them accessible via the Web (or via a private network) by using the standard HTTP, SOAP or REST protocols. Remark : AWebservice must be deployed on a WEBDEV Application Server in order to be used.
