EWD

Introduction

M/Gateway is a company that specializes in gateway modules that bridge different programming environments.

An example is the M/Gateway Services Integrator (MGWSI), a software module to provide the connection between the Enterprise Web Developer (EWD) runtime environment and PHP and Java Server Pages. (It can be used as a standalone product, as well.)

The core MGWSI product is a generic integration engine with specific integration gateways as part of the overall package:

• Caché, GT.M or M21 to PHP (the m_php gateway)
• Caché or GT.M to Java Server Pages (the m_jsp gateway)
• Caché or GT.M to ASP.Net (the m_aspx gateway)

EWD

The EWD platform is available for Ubuntu/Debian Linux, for example.

With EWD installed, an Apache2 web server can be used to access MUMPS (GT.M or Cache) routines directly from a web browser (using Ajax technology).

Using this, a CPRS client would not be required to access the VistA server, but a standard web browser could be employed.
