GNUe AppServer: A tool of the GNUe Project (www.gnue.org)

Introduction
------------
The GNUe Application Server (AppServer) is the core of the n-tier variant
of the GNU Enterprise system. To the front end (be it GNUe Forms, GNUe
Reports or any other tool), it provides user-definable business objects with
arbitary fields and methods. While transforming access to those fields and
methods into database communication and calling of scripts, it cares about
stability, security, speed, and consistency.


Warning
-------
The GNUe Appserver is still under development and not ready to be used in
mission-critical environments.  Please refer to the file named `NEWS' to see
which version you are looking at here, and what has changed since earlier
versions.


Installation
------------
To install GNUe Appserver on your system, follow the procedure described in the
file `INSTALL'.


Configuration
-------------
Please refer to the file "configuration.txt" in the documentation of GNUe
Common for configuring the connection to the database backend.


Running AppServer
-----------------
The directory `samples' contains several files that help you to try out GNUe
Appserver once you have installed it.  Please refer to the file `README' in
that directory for details.

Please send bug reports to gnue-dev@gnu.org
