Working With Proxies

A CA Gen Distributed Processing (DP) application is made up of many pieces of software, each contributing to the overall processing of a cooperative flow occurring from a Distributed Processing Client (DPC) to a Distributed Processing Server (DPS).

Note: For information about the various parts that make up a DP application, see the Distributed Processing - Overview Guide.

A CA Gen application developer often encounters the requirement for code that is not generated from a CA Gen model to interact with one or more of their generated DPS applications. In general, a user-written DPC application must communicate to the generated servers in the same manner as a generated DPC application. CA Gen provides the ability to generate a variety of proxy interfaces to assist the application developer in this effort.

A user-written DPC application can use a generated proxy to facilitate a cooperative flow to its target DPS. Each proxy is generated for a specific DPS. CA Gen provides support for the following types of generated Proxies:
