This online guide presents programming techniques for implementing specific features in the SilverStream applications you build. It focuses on example code that you can follow and copy.
Use this guide if you're a programmer responsible for building or maintaining SilverStream applications. This includes applications that you develop with SilverStream and/or third-party tools, and that you run on the SilverStream Application Server.
If you want to learn more about the concepts and facilities related to a particular technique, you'll typically find that information in one of these books:
Many of the techniques in this guide are included in one of the SilverStream sample databases so that you can run them and study their objects in detail. To access these live examples, you must first:
For more information, see the Installation Guide.
For more information, see the Tools Guide.
Your localhost SilverStream Server must be listening at the default port (80).
Using SilverJRunner for form-based examples
If the technique you're reading links to a SilverStream form example, you'll need to have SilverJRunner installed to access that example. This is because these links point to SJR files, which start SilverJRunner and specify the SilverStream Server machine (in this case, localhost), metadata database (usually Examples3_Java), and form to use.
SilverJRunner is normally installed along with the SilverStream development environment, so you probably already have it on your machine. If not, you can get it from the SilverStream installation (Setup) program.
For more information, see the Installation Guide.
The techniques are organized into these categories:
