Axeda Platform can host Rich Internet Applications (RIA) created in Adobe Flash, AJAX, or Microsoft Silverlight. These application artifacts are bundled together into a .zip file and uploaded to the Platform. The details are covered in this Hosting RIA Tutorial.
When logged into the Axeda Platform, select the Administration tab, then under the Extensions menu, select Stand-alone Applications.
Here you can select a .zip file to upload, with a description, URL, and the name of the default file. The .zip file contains the files that should be served from a directory on the server. For example, the .zip contents of an AJAX application may be:
Application.html
jqtouch/jquery.js
Appmaps.js
App.css
The default file is typically an html file.
In this example, the URL /apps/Samples means that /apps/Samples/Application.html will be loaded by default.
The files would include an html file plus one or more .swf files for Adobe Flash. There are many options for hosted application technology. This .zip file could upload multiple files that represent multiple apps or a suite of pages that navigate between the pages.
