This managed application operation mode only supports the functionality of managed forms.
Web-client window example
Operation of 1C:Enterprise within a Web-browser
Operation of 1C:Enterprise in a Web-browser does not require installation of the system on the client, since a Web-browser is used as the client application.
To work in Web-client mode a Web-server setup to work with 1C:Enterprise 8 is required. The client browser interacts with the Web-server over HTTP; in its turn, the Web-server interacts with 1C:Enterprise 8 in file- or client-server operation mode.
Apache or IIS can be used as the Web-server.
Operation in a Web-browser diagram
The Web-client uses DHTML, HTTPRequest and AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) technology. All client functionality in this mode is performed automatically with JavaScript language.
Client modules, developed in a configuration are automatically translated from 1C:Enterprise 8 native script language into JavaScript. This means that all applied solution development is done within 1C:Enterprise 8 Designer regardless of the operation mode (thin, thick, or web client); server side and client side code is created in 1C:Enterprise 8 script language.
Multiple Platform Support
The Web-client mode allows all the system parts to work, for example, on Linux OS:
Operation in different operating systems
Windows OS is also an option:
Operation at Windows-based PCs
Generally, 1C:Enterprise 8 architecture allows building of mixed systems, i.e. with elements operating on different operating systems:
Operation in a mixture of workstations
Web-client Mode Operation Features
Web-client defines development specifics. For example, this operation mode assumes specific techniques to work with local files — a special temporary repository is used to transfer files between a client and a server.
The correctly developed configuration should run satisfactorily in both Web-client and thin client modes.
