Smart Technology

Using Smart Technology to Deploy Servoy Solutions
Deploy your Servoy solution as a rich Java application; as a headless client serving JSP pages with a browser -- that can be run locally; as well as remotely on cell phones, PDAs, and other mobile devices; as a 100% HTML web client; or all three at the same time -- from a single codebase -- without writing any additional code!

Applications that have been built with Servoy can be deployed as a:

Servoy Smart Client
To deploy a Servoy solution as a rich Java application, use Servoy Smart Client. Servoy Smart Client uses Java WebStart technology for a zero-deployment model -- there is no need to install Smart Client on each workstation, or rollout new versions manually. Servoy Smart Client maintains a two-way stateful connection with Servoy Server -- providing the end-user with an interactive client experience. Servoy Smart Client contains the technology to move script processing from your server and push it to the client. As a result, Servoy Server has a lower load; provides better scalability; and end-users will be able to use your Servoy solution faster and more efficiently.

Deploying Servoy Smart Client has these advantages:
  • Rich and Interactive User Experience
    Servoy Smart Client maintains a stateful, two-way connection with Servoy Server; and many of the business rules and Servoy methods are run on the client computer -- resulting in even more robust performance.

  • No Browser Compatibility Problems
    Your Servoy solution is deployed as a real application. There are no cross-browser compatibility issues. Servoy Smart Client behaves the same for all your Servoy solutions -- on all operating systems and platforms -- without needing to thoroughly test and recode for each system/platform separately.

  • Lower Server Loads
    Because Servoy can safely offload business rules to a Servoy Smart Client machine, Servoy Server can handle, on average, up to 10 times more concurrent users and expend fewer resources in the process.

Servoy Headless Client (SHC)
With Servoy Headless Client (SHC), you can easily create and deploy browser-based solutions that will run on desktops, laptops, PDA's, mobile phones and cable set-top boxes.

SHC allows you to execute your solution's data and business logic (scripts) via JSP pages, Servlets and Java applications. You can deploy a Servoy Headless Client solution from the same Servoy Server -- and simultaneously -- used to deploy Servoy Smart Clients. A single concurrent user license is required for each concurrent JSP session.

There is no additional charge for SHC functionality. The Servoy Headless Client API (Application Programming Interface) is included with Servoy Server (FREE with the purchase of 1 or more Servoy Smart Client licenses).
