Dear John, Thank you so much for your unflagging efforts. Those two resources you pointed me to are great. Also the current information you provided is very useful.
Although the compressed format and persistence are not further embellished, I get the gist of it and will study some more. I'm quite excited about the idea that LPS could be implemented in Perl (or some other language but why;), I think you guys could get huge uptake from that, but I realize the massive work that must have gone into LPS of course. The wiki also looks quite useful, and while I'm reading the right set of docs I'll look forward to your pending RESTful demo! Super! Thanks again, Matt ----- Original Message ---- From: John Sundman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 2, 2007 11:35:09 PM Subject: Re: [Laszlo-user] Perl Catalyst Hello Matt, Firstly, you are correct that the documentation that you reference is obsolete. It predates OL4! I don't know how it remains on the openlaszlo.org site, but I have filed at JIRA task to have it taken down ASAP, as it's needlessly confusing. As the doc guy at openlaszlo, I apologize for your goose chase. Please see instead the most recent version of this chapter: http://labs.openlaszlo.org/legals-nightly/docs/guide/architecture.html Second, as of 4.0.2 the XML-RPC APIs now work in both DHTML and SWF runtimes in SOLO mode -- no LPS required. Third, that Guestblox application is ancient and its code has not been updated in at least two years. It's probably not a good point of reference except in the very general sense. You are correct that the documentation is not especially helpful in explaining how to construct a RESTful OpenLaszlo application. We have been working on an example application with supporting documentation and hope to post it to OpenLaszlo.org very soon -- hopefully, before next week is out. I think this will go a long way towards answering your general questions. Finally, there is some (very spare) documenation of the LPS server interface on the OpenLaszlo Wiki: http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/LPS_server_API Our goal is to (eventually) provide sufficient documentation such that interested third parties could implement the LPS in languages other than Java. I hope this helps, jrs ___________________________________________________________________________________ You snooze, you lose. Get messages ASAP with AutoCheck in the all-new Yahoo!
