In order to run a solution in a true client, you must have the solution in a running Application Server that contains your solution.
To start an Application Server, see Installing and Running the Servoy Application Server.
To get your solution loaded into the Application Server, see Exporting a Solution from Servoy Developer and Importing a Solution into the Application Server.
The Application Server is accessed through a web browser. The URL for the application server should be as follows
http://<application_server_address>:8080
where <application_server_address> is the actual address of the server. If you are trying to access an Application Server running locally, just use localhost for the address of the server.
Accessing the Server through a Firewall
If you want to allow access through a firewall, you must allow TCP traffic on ports 8080 and 1099 in order for the Application Server to connect properly.
A solution can be ran from the Application Server in either Smart Client or Web Client.
To run a solution in the Smart Client:
Click on the icon. The client launch process will begin.
NOTE
If Java Runtime Environment is not installed on the computer, you can install by clicking on the link at the bottom of the client launch screen. This link will also verify that JRE is installed as well.
To run a solution in Web Client:
Open a web browser and enter the following URL:
http://<your_application_server>:8080/servoy-webclient
where <your_application_server> is the address of the Application Server.
Other options on starting clients are available, see Smart Client and Web Client in the Deployment Guide for more details.
