Running a VisualAge Smalltalk web application

Now you're ready to start using VisualAge Smalltalk. To run a VisualAge Smalltalk web application on your OS/390 system, do the following:

  1. Create your web application in VisualAge Smalltalk.

    Create a new application. Then, in the Composition Editor, create your web application using any parts that run in an MVS Native environment.

  2. In VisualAge Smalltalk, create an MVS Native passive image.

    When you create the MVS image, include the Web Connection feature.

  3. Open the passive image and load your web application. Make sure you load all of the classes needed for runtime.
  4. Package the application, including your web application. For more information on packaging, see VisualAge Smalltalk Server Guide.
  5. Upload your packaged image to an OS/390 dataset.
  6. Create an executable load module for the packaged MVS image. See the VisualAge Smalltalk Server Guide.
  7. Run the executable load module. The load module will run in the background waiting for input from the web server. For more information, see the VisualAge Smalltalk Server Guide.
  8. Start your web server.
  9. Point your web browser to your application using the following format: http://hostname/abtwsi/classname
