ApplinX provides several demo applications: Instant demo, Composite demo and SOA demo, based on a typical legacy Natural mainframe application. These applications contain typical legacy screens such as update screens, task screens, windows screens and more. The web applications of the demos contain various examples of common tasks needed to be performed in a typical web enabling/SOA application (in .NET or JSP). Such examples include external login page, path procedures, and tables combining a few screens to one.
Note:
When working in Windows OS, by default the repository is loaded from
the database provided with ApplinX. When working with UNIX, the repository of
the demo application is loaded from an external gxz file and therefore changes
cannot be made to entities (read-only).
The Insurance applications (Instant, Composite and SOA) manage customer details and proposals of a fictitious insurance company. They store and display information about the current customers and their proposal details. The applications contain modules for updating, deleting, and displaying customer records and proposals. There are three Insurance based applications:
The Instant demo application includes the entities required for an instant web application.
The Composite demo application includes, in addition to the entities included in the instant demo, paths and procedures used in the composite web application.
The Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) demo application includes the entities required to expose Procedure Clients and forms that have been generated.
The ApplinX web demo applications are distributed as part of the ApplinX installation. They contain many useful examples and code snippets, and therefore it is recommended to install them, browse through them and inspect their sources.
