I have been working with pow for a few day's, its good, but to be
honoust it is almost pretty much the same as the standard cgi minus the
additional functions, demo's and documentation.
right way without an overly complicated widgetset you have no control
over such as IntraWeb, using simple templates one can make a pretty
Intraweb, yuck, we bought it (and still use it), and i'm looking for a
open source replacement (if possible).
dynamic templateing system with SubTemplates (a template in a
template) that can be used depending on various conditions.
If you add a protocol to communicate with your existing HUGE desktop
application you're on your way, maybe the part where you stream
information could be standardised too, such as sending objects and
events.
Expectations and layout between desktop and web app are somewhat
different, but it would not be really difficult to create a deamon which
provided support for desktop and/or webapp.
Yes FastCGI, SCGI are good technologies that keep the OS security
imposed on executables but allow them to stay resident, Apache modules
and ISAPI dlls might not be admin's favourite because they share the
memory with the WebServer. Maybe the WebService concept is better, if
we had a unit/dll/so to communicate using the same functions with most
webservers it would help us a lot.
I would drop pow and switch to fastcgi in a minute if i could figure out
how the fastcgi implementation in fpcsrc/utils/fppkg/lnet is
functioning. In my case it would solve some slow db conections and
session problems. I suppose its just a wrap around the standard cgi but
i can't see head or tails in the project at this moment (need to look
deeper, but it looks like its just unix for now).
Greetings,
Marius
