This extra WebContent folder may cause problems, especially when using Integration Objects. To eliminate this extra WebContent folder in a HATS Web project: Right click on your HATS project and choose Properties Select... [More]

I've been toying with the idea of writing a number of short articles covering HATS topics that have come up in the past. Some more esoteric or subtle HATS topics. These wouldn't be multi-author white papers--nothing that elaborate. Just a casual discussion of issues raised and solved in the past--issues that somebody else might encounter. My question is, where should I put such items? Would folks be more likely to find them in a section under Documents or should I make them Blog posts? This would be topics like connection pooling, servlet... [More]

The difference between IOs and Macros
Integration objects play an important role in managing the state of an application or creating a new host connection. However, they typically are used for starting a new HATS connection from within an existing HATS customization. So when should you use an integration object? Web services and combining multiple hosts data onto a single screen are the two options of choice. Integration objects are essentially a Java wrapper the encapsulates the macro state management. What I mean by that is, you can call setters and getters on the integration... [More]
