webMethods Integration Server
dspExample Sample

Description

The examples illustrate the use of webMethods' dynamic server pages (DSP). A DSP is a document embedded with special codes (tags) that instruct the webMethods Integration Server to perform certain actions when an HTTP (or HTTPS) client requests the document. DSPs are used to construct browser-based applications.

Our example is a browser based application for viewing Sales Orders that are located in a specific directory on the file system. Let's imagine these are Sales Orders that have just been created today.

For more information on DSPs, refer to the ISTemplatesAndDSPs.pdf file located in the {ServerHome}\doc directory.
