Web ActiveX deployment requirements (IM)
Microsoft stopped shipping the Microsoft Java VM as of the Windows
XP SP 1a release and the Windows 2000 SP 4 release, and the Microsoft
Java VM is not supported in PowerBuilder 9 or later. If you use the
DataWindow Web control for ActiveX and your Web page uses a JDBC
connection, the Web ActiveX has additional deployment
requirements:
-
The Sun JRE 1.2 or later must be installed on the client.
Users can download the latest version of the JRE from the Sun Java
website. -
The path to the file jvm.dll
(…JREinclient for JRE 1.4 or later and
…JREinclassic for JRE 1.2 or 1.3) must be
added to each user’s system PATH environment variable. -
The following files must be in a directory in the client’s
system PATH environment variable: pbjvm90.dll,
pbvm90.dll, and libjcc.dll
for PowerBuilder 9, or pbjvmXXX.dll and
pbshrXXX.dll for later versions. -
The pbjdbc12XXX.jar file, which contains
class files required by the Web ActiveX, must be deployed to the
client. You can deploy the JAR file by referencing it in the
CODEBASE attribute of the Object element in your Web page. -
Java classes required by your database vendor’s client layer
must be available on the client. They can be added to a CAB file
that is referenced in the CODEBASE attribute of the Object element
in your Web page. For example, if you are using Sybase jConnect to
connect to a database, the jconn2.jar file
should be included in the CAB file. If the client layer is provided
in a JAR file, it can be referenced directly in the CODEBASE
attribute.
