A few years ago I wrote a WAA application and could never get it to work
right.   I remember I had to customeize the .C functions so if it got hung
up
it would restart WAA automatically.   Had to read the error log and look for
error messages.  I liked WAA's ease to use because it could work with html.

Wonder if this type of problems have been corrected.  A few people told me
to forget it and use a third party product (Think the name is XBtoNet).  I
have not have to
write any web apps since.  The WAA folks told me problems would be corrected
in WAA 1.9

Input and tips are welcome.

Yes. We use WA for all our web projects.
Very convenient for xBase programmers

I have written many WAA applications with great success - some were 'simple'
additions to web sites that utilised Xbase++'s computational power and/or
adata access capabilities, some were highly complicated thin-client
applications providing extensive features.

To a large degree, WAA is as easy to use as Xb2.NET, and in many instances
easier, although you have to remember that Xb2.NET does much more than
simply provide an HTTP interface and WAA provide an HTML interface that
Xb2.NET does not.

I am comfortable recommending either WAA or Xb2.NET, and recommend that a
simple review of both the requirements of your application and the topology
where it will be applied should be made to ascertain which to use in a given
situation.

This is the logic I generally use:

Use Xb2.NET if:
a) you already have it
b) you need file upload
c) you need to provide/access additional services (e.g. SOAP, FTP, TELNET)

Use WAA if:
a) there is an existing web that your application must complement
b) the webserver needs to run on a Linux box
c) there are no other particular reasons for using Xb2.NET

If you use xbHCL to generate your output (HTML, PDF etc), and to examine
input (incoming POST/GET requests etc), you can easily code in such a way
that your code will be compatible with both WAA and Xb2.NET.  To change ALL
your WAA code to run on Xb2.NET (or vice-versa), it is only necessary to
change a single line of code if you have observed the guidelines for
WAA/Xb2NET compatibility.

Hi guys,

I'm just now starting to look into the possiblility of doing some web design 
using X-base. I've been programming in X-base for quite some time, and I'm 
trying to get up-to-speed on what I'd need to do to either convert my apps 
to run on the web...or what I might do to utilize the web in my existing 
apps, etc.

I'd be very interested to hear what anyone has to say on how they integrate 
the two worlds, what basic steps I can expect to go through to do this, or 
if they examples web-based system they've created using Xbase that  I could 
look at for ideas, etc.

I downloaded the WAA demo from the Alaska site the other day and spent about 
5 hours trying to get it to work...then finally gave up. Does the apache 
web-server work on XP and newer systems? The documentation that came with it 
only mentioned windows 95 and NT...and even with that...it still said that 
Apache wasn't guarenteed to work with any windows OS.

Easiest way to get started in developing web apps with Xbase++ is by using 
Xb2.NET: http://xb2.net

With when using Xb2.NET, your Xbase++ app is the webserver... no need for 
installing/configuring gateways or 3P webservers, see here:

Hello Boris Borzic,

Does the webserver of Xb2.net  support java script  ?

Hi Boris, Hi Shum

Actuallly it is not Xb2.net but the browser that should supports Javascript.

I Bought Xb.NET from Boris and is very satisfied with it.  I developed 
3 web applications that delivers legacy data through our corporate intranet
which shielded from the NET by an ISA firewall/proxy server.

I used the Timeclock example as the template.

Scott,

first thing to know is: you are dealing with THREE entities:

1) Your Application
2) Your HTTP server
3) HTML (the internet)

Boris' XB2.net can help to skip step #2. It doesn't prevent you, however, to 
learn the communication layers of client/server employed via internet

WAA should work for Xbase++ apps when you configure Apache's files 
correctly. WAA is a free solutiuon.

I'm not quite sure if Xb2.net requires a special Apache configuration 
(Boris?)

no special configuration required.

I thought so. Why am I not surprised...
