Developing a Direct to Web Application

There are four steps to creating a Direct to Web application:

■

Create a Direct to Web project using Project Builder.

■

Create a model using EOModeler.

■

Customize your Direct to Web application using the Direct to Web Assistant
(optional).

■

Further customize your Direct to Web application (optional).

Of the four steps, the last two are unique to Direct to Web and are discussed in more
detail below.

The Direct to Web Assistant

The Direct to Web Assistant is a Java applet that runs at the same time as your
application. It communicates directly with Direct to Web and allows you to
reconfigure your application in many ways.
