PowerBuilder window plug-in

The PowerBuilder window plug-in runs a PowerBuilder application
that displays a PowerBuilder window in an HTML page on a client
workstation. It works with any browser that supports Netscape plug-ins,
including Netscape Navigator (Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 Service
Pack 2 and later versions do not support Netscape plug-ins). A secure
version of the plug-in ensures that PowerBuilder applications downloaded
over the Internet will not damage a client system or access information
on a client workstation.

An application in the PowerBuilder window plug-in can execute
most PowerBuilder functionality as long as the application begins
with a child window. The application can run any PowerBuilder windows,
display information, accept data input, and update databases. Database
access is initiated on the client workstation using the client’s
connections.

A major disadvantage of the plug-in is that it requires a
fat client–the browser client requires the PowerBuilder
runtime DLLs or shared libraries and the PowerBuilder window plug-in
DLL or shared library.

Window Plug-in.”
