Web Client is a browser-based application of which the UI is rendered in the browser using pure HTML, CSS and a bit of JavaScript for event handling and communication with the Servoy Application Server. The business logic of the Solution that is running in the Web Client is executed on the Application Server for security reasons: the code of the business logic is not exposed in the webpage markup.

Starting Servoy Web Clients
Servoy Web Clients run in a browser and can be started by accessing a URL on the Servoy Application Server.
Web Client Start URL | What is does | Comments |
|---|---|---|
{serverUrl}/servoy-webclient | Opens the "Select Solution" webpage | The "Select Solution" webpage will not list any solutions if solution browsing is disabled, see #Solution Solution browsing. |
{serverUrl}/servoy-webclient/ss/s/{mySolutionName} | Opens the specified solution |
|
{serverUrl}/servoy-webclient/ss/s/{mySolutionName}/a/{value} | Opens the specified solution. The argument value is passed into the Solutions onOpen event handler. |
|
{serverUrl}/servoy-webclient/ss/s/{mySolutionName}/a/{value}/{name1}/{value1}/{name1}/{value2} | The same as the previous scenario, but with additional custom keys for additional arguments |
|
{serverUrl}/servoy-webclient/ss/s/{mySolutionName}/m/{myMethodName} | Opens the specified solution and executed the specified method after the solution is opened |
|
{serverUrl}/servoy-webclient/ss/s/{mySolutionName}/m/{myMethodName}/a/{value} | The same as the previous scenario, but specifying a single value to be passed as an argument into the onOpen event handler and deeplink method |
|
{serverUrl}/servoy-webclient/ss/s/{mySolutionName}/m/{myMethodName}/a/{value}/{name1}/{value1}/{name2}/{value2} | The same as the previous scenario, but with additional custom keys for additional arguments |

Browser sessions
As browsers share session information between all their tabs and windows, it's not possible the run multiple Web Clients hosted from the same application server within the same browser
Embedding a Web Client in an IFrame
A Web Client solution can be embedded inside another webpage, by utilizing the IFrame HTML tags. Check out the Running Web Clients inside an IFrame tutorial for more details on embedding a Web Client inside an IFrame.
Web Client configuration settings
Through the Servoy Admin page, several settings are exposed related to Web Clients. These settings can be found on the Servoy Server Home > Web Client Settings. For more information on the specific settings see Web Client Settings
Basic authentication support for WebClient login
If a solution running in the Web Client does not define a specific form as login form, Servoy will serve a standard SignIn page to the user (a basic html page with a username and password field).
