The common solution is to pull out the business logic and create the
components in EAServer. PFC app would act as a front end, where many of
the services can still be very useful.
Download the Enterprise Application Framework from http://www.dyn-data.com/
. The sample application is a PFC based application and it is a good
example of how to interface a PFC based app to EAServer.
Besides being an excellent framework, it was designed by Alex Whitney,
Claudio Quant, (Original PFC developers) and Carson Hager - an EAServer
Guru. I know Claudio and Alex made sure that it interfaced seamlessly
with a PFC based app.
Oh, forgot to mention, the framework is free. You will need to sign a
contract which prevents you re-marketing the framework as a part of another
class library product, but use in a typical application is free.
