Server Applications

DataCaster supports server applications that need to be co-resident with the server and the server databases. For many applications, a server application that can be managed remotely is needed to perform server functions that cannot be easily performed by web applications.

WebAdmin provides tools to install, start and stop server applications. Server applications need to implement the DataCasterApplication interface in order to be deployable as a DataCaster server application. Please see the WebAdmin documentation for more information.

Server applications have complete access to the DataCaster classes and databases, since the DataCaster jar is in the server system classpath on startup.
