[DUG]: Multiple Socket Servers

[Stacey Verner]

I have had a look at the code for the Socket Server in D6, and I can change the Registry path that it uses so it can have a different port list to the D4 socket server, but I have two more question.

 

Firstly. The code (as follows) contains a comment which says "Do not localize" (which I have seen throughout the VCL code),

Is there a good reason for this, or should everything work fine when I change it?

I have tested it and its certainly seems fine in the short term, but it seems to take time for these things to fail.

...

const
  //Do not localize
  KEY_SOCKETSERVER  = '\SOFTWARE\Borland\Socket Server';
  KEY_IE            = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer';

...

 

Secondly. The D6 Socket Server has an option "Registered Objects Only". When this is checked my AppServers are not available, and if it is not checked my AppServers are available. How do I register an AppServer to be visible to Socket Server when this is checked, and does it make a difference.?

 

Thanks

 

Stacey
