Using Application Controller

Application Controller enables you to start and stop ULC application servers, something useful during development. Once these application servers have been started, Application Controller enables you to establish connections between them and the UI Engine.
Application Controller overview

Use Application Controller as follows:

  1. If you have not done so already, unpack the samples in the ulc\ULCSamples directory.
  2. Start Application Controller in production mode (as server). On a server machine (named serverhost), bring up a command prompt and switch to the ULCSamples directory. Start Application Controller on the selected port (2222) by entering the following:
    appctrl2222
    

    Note: 2222 is the default port for Application Controller, and the Java Plug-In pages expect Application Controller to be running on this port.

  3. Start the UI Engine in production mode (as client). On a desktop workstation, bring up a command prompt and switch to the UIEngine\bin directory. Start the UI Engine and make it connect to Application Controller by entering the following:
    run -url ulc://serverhost:2222/appcontroller
    

    Application Controller opens as follows:
    Application Controller as it first opens

From here, you can do the following:
