This document describes how a TIBCO General Interface application communicates with web servers across subdomains. There are two general scenarios for accessing a General Interface application, local provisioning and remote provisioning. Local provisioning requires no configuration, if default browser security settings are used. Remote provisioning requires either configuring proxy communication or modifying default browser security settings.
Version 4: May 9, 2007
Scope: TIBCO General Interface 3.4

This document describes how to design TIBCO General Interface applications to work properly in multiple application environments, such as a portal deployment.
Version 3.0: May 10, 2007
Scope: TIBCO General Interface 3.4

This document describes how to send, receive, and cache data. TIBCO General Interface provides an in-memory local data cache where developers can store XML/XSL documents needed by the application. Some documents in the local data cache are placed there automatically by the system. Developers can also set their own documents in the local data cache. Having a centralized cache provides easier object cleanup, as well as a standardized method for sharing data across multiple components. The local data cache is a critical aspect of a stateful rich client experience when used in conjunction with asynchronous data access.
Version 3.0: May 15, 2007
Scope: TIBCO General Interface 3.4

This document describes TIBCO General Interface extensions to the JavaScript class and inheritance model. With these extensions General InterfaceTM provides a richer programming environment that is better suited to building complex object-oriented applications.
Version 3.0. May 7, 2007
Scope: TIBCO General Interface 3.4

This document describes TIBCO General Interface extensions to JavaScript exception handling and how to leverage these extensions to write code that is more robust and easier to maintain.
Version 3.0: May 7, 2007
Scope: TIBCO General Interface 3.4
