Chapter 3: Creating Mobile Services
The following syntax describes the URIs that you need to log into a Mobile Web
application and access its services using a JSDO:
Syntax
scheme://host[:port]/web-app[/static-resource]
scheme//host[:port]
The beginning of every absolute URI:
• scheme — A URI scheme supported for OpenEdge Mobile, which can be
either HTTP or HTTPS.
• host — The host name or IP address, which is typically localhost for testing
Mobile services on the same machine as both the Web browser and the OE
Web Server that hosts the Mobile services.
• port — Optional port where the Web server is listening for HTTP requests.
The default value, if you do not specify this option, is 80. The default value
configured for the OE Web Server is 8980.
The host:port can also be replaced by a Web domain (such as,
www.progress.com) that accesses the required host and port.
/web-app
The relative URI for the Mobile Web application, where web-app is the name of
the Mobile Web application that contains your Mobile service or services, and
serves as the root URI for all Mobile resources provided by the Mobile Web
application. By default, this is the filename of the WAR file that you use to publish
or deploy the Mobile services to your OE Web Server, and it is also the name of
the Web server folder in which all of the Web application’s Mobile services and
Web resources are deployed. As noted during development (see the “Publishing
Mobile services for testing” section on page 80), Developer Studio publishes each
Mobile service defined for a project in its own WAR file with the filename set to
name of the Mobile service. For production deployment, you can export multiple
Mobile and REST services in a single WAR file, which by default has the name of
the Mobile project. Note that during production deployment, a Web administrator
can change the filename of the WAR file and the name of the Web application to
a different value.
Note: During development, you cannot change the name of the WAR file that
Developer Studio publishes for each Mobile service in a project.
If you run the Mobile App in a Web browser and deploy it as a Mobile Web App to
the same OE Web Server as the Mobile services, the Mobile App only needs to
access this relative URI to log into the Mobile Web application and access Mobile
services.
