Check if is deployed as web app

Hi,

since the web apps come with some limitations, it might be usefull to determine whether the deployed app is a web app or a standalone app. Is there a way to find out what kind of deployment "mode" is running? The deployed function only returns true or false.

Thanks!

As far as i am aware there are no function to check if a deployed app is a webapp.

A workaround as follows may work. Add a an empty file to the compiled webapp under Files Required for your app to run.

Example if you add a file "this.isawebapp". You can then check for the existence of this file in a function

function out = isawebapp()
if isdeployed
    %out = exist(fullfile(ctfroot,'this.isawebapp'),'file') == 2;
    out = ~isempty(which('this.isawebapp'));
else
    out = false;
end
end

There is an built in function that checks if the app is an web app. As always, be careful when using undocumented internal functions.

matlab.internal.environment.context.isWebAppServer
