   Programming a BEA Tuxedo Application Using TxRPC

What Is the DCE-Gateway Application

This application is an extension to the rpcsimp application. As before, the client calls the remote procedure calls (operations) to_upper() and to_lower().

In this case, the RPC goes from the BEA Tuxedo client to the DCE Gateway process that forwards the request to a DCE server. To make this example more realistic, the communications from the Gateway process to the DCE server use explicit binding instead of automatic binding and an authenticated RPC.

What follows is a procedure to build and run the example. The client can run on any platform described in A Sample Application. There is no difference in building or running the client and it will not be described further in this chapter. The gateway and DCE server must run on a POSIX platform that also has DCE software installed on it. This chapter will not discuss installation or compilation of the clients on the Workstation platforms.

The sample programs have been tested on HP's "DCE/9000" and DEC's "Digital DCE for DCE OSF/1 AXP." It should work on other platforms that conform to OSF/DCE software standards.
