The Servoy Smart Client is a zero deployment, cross platform native application to run solutions developed in Servoy.

Starting a Servoy Smart Client is done by accessing a URL on the Servoy Application Server. Depending on the configuration of the Servoy Application Server, an icon might be placed on the users desktop to start the application thereafter.

Zero deployment
The Servoy Smart Client uses Java Web Start Technology to distribute the application to the user.

The Java Web Start Technology provides the mechanism to automatically perform the initial install of the application and from that moment onwards keep the application up to date.

The Java Web Start mechanism will download the application and store it locally in a cache. On each subsequent start of the application, the Java Web Start mechanism will check with the Servoy Application Server is the cached version is still the latest version and if not it will automatically download the latest version and start the application.

Security

The locally stored cache does NOT contain any data. It only contains the a cached version of the application, in a binary format

Cross platform
The Servoy Smart Client runs on all platforms that support Java Standard Edition Runtime Environment version 5 or higher, including:

  • Microsoft Windows
  • Max OSX
  • Linux
