To prepare your application for use in a non-distributed environment

1. Code your application as usual, or use an existing application. If desired, include some of the plug-in specific library routines or fields described in section 5.4.1 Coding for the Plug-in. Be sure to refer to the special coding considerations listed at the end of that section.

2. Compile your programs with ACUCOBOL-GT. The resulting object file can be executed from within a browser on any Windows machine that has the plug-in installed.

3. Configure the plug-in runtime if desired. This procedure is described in section 5.4.2 Configuring the Plug-in Runtime.

4. Link external C routines into the plug-in if desired. This procedure is described in section 5.4.3 Linking C Routines Into the Plug-in Runtime.

5. Package your COBOL objects and resources into a single library file. You can also bundle a configuration file and/or ".xfd" files into the package if desired. This procedure is described in section 5.4.4 Packaging Your Application and Resources.


Note: If you have a single-object application and you are not using a separate configuration file or Acu4GL, there is no need to package your application into a library.

6. Include the library file in your Web site as described in section 5.5 Including Your COBOL Application in the Web Site.
