Hi,
has someone developed an application (java, .NET....) to open immediatly the pdf produced by submitted jobs via web on the client of user?
Which approach did you follow? Did you develop and external application or did you integrate the JDE j2ee application?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
thanks

We developed an external solution, which integrates into both JDE and IE...
 
Ciao Alex,
could you explain at high level how did you implement this solution? Did you develope a jar server started with JDE web application and install an ActiveX on the browser? ActiveX polls the server side, and server try to get record "Done" on F986110, if it find job try to get pdf file from enterprise server and send it to the browser through the http session?
thanks

No Java, all native executable code.

JDE extension Print Filter on the Enterprise Server and IE BHO (it's better than ActiveX in many respects) waiting (not polling) for the files, sent by the server directly to the submitting user _as_soon_as_ the job finishes, in real time (much better than polling).

It's all rather complicated behind the scenes, with all kinds of comms, etc.

Do you want a ready solution, or do you specifically want to implement one yourself?
