Language

• OpenEdge ABL
• Object-orientation
• Read and Write XML Methods
• Parameter Passing
• SAX-WRITER
• XML Schema Validation
• Short-hand syntax ()
• too much to list

17
OpenEdge ABL
ABL Advanced Business Language

• OpenEdge ABL takes the Progress 4GL to a new
  level
• Constant evolution
• Latest technical innovations
• Unparalleled openness and productivity
• Only business-oriented major development language
• OpenEdge ABL Bigger, better, stronger, faster!!

18
Introducing Objects
OpenEdge 10.1 introduces formal object-oriented
programming through language extensions that
support user-defined classes. User-defined
classes allow you to define objects, with methods
and data, and interfaces for building business
applications.
19
Some Object-orientation (OO) Benefits

• Ease hire new developers
• Helps you build OpenEdge Reference Architecture.
  More closely support SOA.
• Natural integration with
• modeling tools
• other OO platforms

20
InteroperabilityProcedures and Classes
Procedural available and fully supported

• Procedures
• Can NEW a CLASS
• Can DELETE an object
• Invoke methods using object reference
• Can pass object reference as a parameter
• Classes
• Can RUN a procedure
• Can invoke internal procedure / UDF using
  procedure handle

21
New Read and Write XML Methods
One statement replace tens/hundreds of lines of
code

• READ-XML and WRITE-XML methods
• Allow ABL structures to be converted to and from
  XML documents
• Data .xml
• Schema .xsd
• Supported structures
• ProDataSet
• Temp-Tables
• Buffers

ttItem
.xsd
.xsd
.xml
.xml
22
What do Customers Say

• The power of the Temp Table / ProDataSet
  READ-XML / WRITE-XML is absolutely incredible.
• This has increased my productivity at least one
  order of magnitude and has made our application
  incredibly more flexible.
• Jeffrey Kodman
• Manuvis

23
WRITE-XML() Syntax
DATASET dsOrderWRITE-XML ("FILE",
/ target-type /
"pOrderWriteXMLSchema.xml", / file-name /
TRUE, / formatted
/ ?, /
encoding / ?,
/ schema location /
TRUE, / write schema /
?, / min schema /
TRUE). / write
before image /

• Easier than SAX and DOM
• No need to write your own code using DOM or SAX
• Supports in and out of XML to ABL objects
• XML data, XML Schema (.xsd)
• Both
• READ-XML(), READ-XMLSCHEMA() and
  WRITE-XMLSCHEMA() not shown here

24
BY-REFERENCE parameter passing

• New BY-REFERENCE for Temp-Table parameters
• New REFERENCE-ONLY, BIND keywords
• UDFs support parameter passing for DATASET
  DATASET-HANDLE
• Less memory resources
• Better performance

25
SAX-WRITER object

• Simple API for XML (SAX)
• Stream forward only
• Event driven API. Application logic Callbacks
• SAX-WRITER
• Allows to stream out XML
• Significant reduction memory requirements
• Supports handling of very large XML documents
• Write tags automatically
• Checks XML document is well-formed

CREATE SAX-WRITER handle IN WIDGET-POOL
pool-name NO-ERROR handle attribute
method
26
XML Schema validation

• OpenEdge 10.1A use XSD
• Verify that data exchanged adheres to an agreed
  upon format
• Validation occurs at runtime using the supplied
  XML Schema
• Works with DOM and SAX

hXdocADD-SCHEMA-LOCATION("http//www.example.com"
, "com.xsd").
hSaxReaderADD-SCHEMA-LOCATION("http//www.example
.com", "com.xsd").
27
Short-hand syntax () for dynamic references

• Write much less code
• Less error prone
• Example
• hbbuffer-field("cust-num")buffer-value
• / becomes /
• hbcust-num

28
More Good Stuff...
29
xsdto4gl utility

• Command line utility
• Generates an OpenEdge ABL definition from an XML
  Schema definition file (xsd)
• Works for ProDataSet and Temp-Table
• Generated OpenEdge ABL include definition
• Default filename xsd filename .i extension

30
New XML attributes

• NAMESPACE-URI, NAMESPACE-PREFIX, NESTED,
  XML-NODE-TYPE, XML-DATA-TYPE
• Attributes added for ProDataSet, Temp-Table, and
  Buffer-Field objects
• Syntax has also been added to static definitions
  for these objects
• DEFINE DATASET
• DEFINE TEMP-TABLE
• DEFINE BUFFER

31
64bit r-code

• On 64bit platforms
• 64bit r-code runs faster on 64bit platforms!
• 64bit r-code not portable to 32bit platforms, and
  vice versa
• General OpenEdge 10 products compatibility and
  connectivity not changed
• Client to Database one version back
• Client to AppServer one version back/forward
• Shared Memory client server match version
• Auditing requires min OpenEdge 10.1A client and
  DB server

32
Connectivity/Compatibility

• Backwards/forwards extended compatibility
• Mixed deployment configurations
• Allow easier, gradual upgrades and migration

GENERATE-UUID and GUID functions

• GENERATE-UUID function
• Generates a universally unique identifier (UUID)
• GUID function
• Converts a UUID value into a globally unique
  identifier (GUID) value
• What is the difference between UUID and GUID?

DEFINE VARIABLE MyUUID as RAW. DEFINE VARIABLE
vGUID as CHARACTER. MyUUID GENERATE-UUID. vGUID
GUID(MyUUID).
34

  WebSpeed applications
• No need to hand code

39
and more

• ROW-UPDATE event

Object-orientation Benefits

• Lets you organize applications the way you
  think
• around objects
• Increase application robustness (strong typing)
• More development productivity with encapsulation,
  inheritance, and polymorphism
• Promotes reusability

53
Object-orientation Benefits

• Helps you build OpenEdge Reference Architecture.
  More closely support SOA
• Modular. Components. Composite applications.
• Service contracts Interfaces
• Ease application maintenance
• Natural integration with
• modeling tools
• other OO platforms
• Ease hire new developers

54
OO Positioning

• When shall you consider using Classes?
• For well defined and designed functional units
• Not too coarse. Not too granular.
• Useful (and easy) when called from at least three
  different modules of the application, or
  different applications
• Need to adhere to Interfaces
• When Procedures are best?
• Tasks
• Processes
• Workflows
• Dynamic or late bound code (not strong typed)
• Disposable programs

55
OO Quick facts

• Multiple rollout strategy OpenEdge 10.1A is the
  first one
• The object-oriented extensions do not replace
  existing language constructs
• You do not need to use OO if you do not want
• Classes can include ON lteventgt constructs
• 10.1A language compiler is two-pass
