Starting Headless Clients from Debug clients in Servoy Developer

When starting a Headless Client from a Debug Client in Servoy Developer, there are restrictions to which solution can be started in the Headless Client.

• Prior to Servoy 6.1.1, the Headless Client would always start with the Active Solution, regardless which solution would be specified
• As of Servoy 6.1.1 the specified solution will be honored, as long as the specified solution is the Active Solution or a solution/module included in the Active Solution

By default the Headless Client which is started will be a debug-able Headless Client. As there can only one debug-able Client of a specific type at the same time (so one debug-able Web Client, one debug-able Smart Client and one debug-able Headless Client), starting a new debug-able Headless Client will close an existent debug-able Headless Client.

It's possible to start non-debug-able Headless Clients using the Headless Client plugin while in Servoy Developer by sending in the value "nodebug" as the last value in the "solutionOpenMethodArgs" array parameter

// Creates a headless client that will open the given solution.
var headlessClient = plugins.headlessclient.createClient("someSolution", "user", "pass", null);

	var x = new Object();
	x.name = 'remote1';
	x.number = 10;
	headlessClient.queueMethod(null, "remoteMethod", [x], callback);
}

// Gets an existing headless client for the given client uuid.
var headlessClient = plugins.headlessclient.getClient("clientID");
if (headlessClient != null && headlessClient.isValid()) {
	 headlessClient.queueMethod(null, "someRemoteMethod", null, callback);
