I've just posted the server side of things. It took me a while
because there are all sorts of unicode encoding/decoding issues
involved in passing non-ASCII data back and forth over the http
connection. It still needs some work, but I'm able to work with it.
If you're familiar with Pylons, when you create an app named 'foo',
the directory structure is an outer 'foo' directory, containing
distutils-type stuff and an inner 'foo' directory that contains your
app. I named my app 'daboserver', and since the outer directory is
boilerplate, I've only committed the inner 'daboserver' directory.
In that directory is an 'appSource' directory that contains a folder
for each web app you are hosting. I created a simple datanav app based
on the 'orders' table in the public dabodev.com database. I chose that
table because it contains non-ASCII values, making it easier to find
encoding issues.
There is also a 'controllers' directory; in an MVC framework, the
controller is analogous to our bizobj, so that's where you put the
RemoteBizobj files. The file 'bizservers.py' is the main controller,
and it is what you would customize for your bizobj classes. It also
contains the file updating functions, which should properly be in
their own controller, but hey, this is just a start.
