B4J Question How to set up B4J application on web ?

[Zoran Vujacic]

I tried to find a simple explanation but failed.

QUESTION:
I have Web Hosting with cPanel.
What does it take to set up a simple B4J ([WebApp] Hello World Web App) application?

Thanks!

Two options:

1. You will need a VPS (Virtual Private Server) if you want to run a jServer WebApp (or ABMaterial). see https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/webapp-web-apps-overview.39811/ and for ABMaterial https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/abmaterial-framework-for-webapps.60072/#content

2. If you write your Web App with the BANano library, you can just copy the transpiled Web App to your www folder. see https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...with-abstract-designer-support.99740/#content

So BANano generates pure HTML/JS code which you can simply put anywhere on your site and run it without any other requirements? I had no idea! That's amazing. One thing though, I don't know much about PWA, do all common Windows web browsers support it?

I think must be HTML5 browsers... so the most...

I hope so! I've had enough of customers with ice-age PCs who call me (as IT and backup) to complain why a web page won't open!!!

Running as a PWA, only Chrome and Edge. But as a normal Web App (PWA not activated), all modern web browsers (not Internet Explorer!) will be able to open de Web site.

Well whoever's still running IE has no right to complain about anything?
You might still use it to download Chrome though!
