Ultra Light Client Guide and Reference


Running ULC components

For convenience, ULC uses standard URL format to specify address, port, and application name in one argument. The following table summarizes how to start ULC components for myApp, an XD-packaged Smalltalk application:


Test Mode Production Mode
UI Engine (desktop) ulcui.exe -server <port number> ulcui.exe -url ulc://<host> :<port> /myApp
Application myapp.exe -url ulc://<host> :<port> myapp.exe -server <port number>

In the development image, sample applications can be started from the System Transcript window. First, start the UI Engine. Then, from the menu bar, select ULC.

Running your ULC-based applications from the development image requires handwritten code and system setup. For more information, see Setting up a ULC development image to run in production mode.

Known problem: Because of a Swing bug, the first window of an application can initially appear behind other windows.
