Ultra Light Client Guide and Reference
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.

Use Application Controller as follows:
- If you have not done so already, unpack the samples
in the ulc\ULCSamples directory.
- 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:
AppController2222
Note: 2222 is the default port for Application
Controller, and the Java Plug-In pages expect Application Controller to be
running on this port.
- 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:

From here, you can do the following:
- To start an application server, select the application from the table and
then select Launch Server.
- To open a connection to a running application server, select the
application from the table and then select Connect.
When a connection to an application server can be established, Application
Controller indicates this by turning the red-light icon to a green light, as
follows:

Connections can also be pending, that is, started in the UI Engine but not
yet established because the server is not responding. Pending
connections are indicated by a yellow light, as follows:

- To close a connection, select the application from the table and then
select Disconnect.
- To stop an application server, select the application from the table and
then select Terminate Server.
