This book addresses development Web and Intranet-based systems, including Web Services, Portals, Application-Servers, XML, and Mobile Access. Content provides both specific implementation techniques and architectural patterns for distributed application development. PowerBuilder 9, to be released Q4 2002, introduces many highly-anticipated distributed development features including support for Web Services and Java application servers. Version 9 of PowerBuilder introduces many features designed specifically to blend the traditional strength of PowerBuilder as a rapid Client/Server application development tool with the new emerging models for distributed application development. PowerBuilder developers need PowerBuilder-specific information on interacting with Java application servers, such as WebSphere, WebLogic, and Sybases Enterprise Application Server (EAServer), and Web Service development.
