The PowerBuilder Application Server Plug-in is a standalone product that enables PowerBuilder users to deploy components to and write clients for third-party application servers. Supported servers are WebSphere, WebLogic, and JBoss.

New icons for the Application Server Component generator have been added to the Target, PB Object, and Project pages in the New dialog box in PowerBuilder Enterprise. New icons for the Application Server Proxy generator have been added to the Project page.The new wizards and their usage are very similar to the related EAServer wizards.

Some new features added to EAServer component development also apply to application server components. For example, components can be deployed as EJB 2.1 Web services, and you can specify security roles and custom EJB properties in the Project painter.

For information about configuring the PowerBuilder Application Server Plug-in and using the new wizards, see the documentation for the plug-in and the context-sensitive help in the wizards.
