Posted on by @rp@n 56

Dear All,

Suppose i write one class

server static boolean xcomponent()
{
       // to do
}

And also i set value RunOnProperty = Server in Menu Item. Because default is "CalledFrom"

Can you please let me know which one is executed first ?

Please give me more shed on this.

Thanks!

Arpan

    Hi,

    As MenuItem makes a call to the class, class RunOn property takes precedence over MenuItem RunOn property. In your case, it executes on the server tier.

    I well understand what Chaitanya said.

    Sukrut you explained well but some things  are not clear for me. Can you please give me an example.

    Please give me more shed on this.

    Thanks Sukrut,

    So, i understand always Menu item > "RunOnProperty" take 1st priority because always any objects we are accessing through "menuitem" only.

    For example : Suppose in class " abc" having main() having
    client static void main(Args args)
    {
       // to do
    }
     and in MENU ITEM for class "abc" i set "RunonProperty = Server". So, it will execute in Server side only right?

    Note : How i will test the Object will run in Server OR Client only based on RunOnProperty (MenuItem) ?

    Please give me more shed on this.

    Hi,

    We can use the following statement to know which tier the code is running and output  will be either Client or Server.

    info(strfmt(“%1”, xGlobal::clientKind()));

    Hi Chaitanya,

    One things only "RunOn" property if i set = "Called from" then the object either execute on Client or Server.

    Note : How compiler knows the object need to execute on Client or Server. When we set RunOn property "Called from".

    Please give me more shed on this.
