Re: XMLRPC question

From your perl snippets it looks like you're dealing with web services on a remote server. In that case the library I put on revOnline may be of some help to you: libSOAP. I've tried to encapsulate some of the complexities of dealing with XMLRPC in an easy (easier) to use and more rev^H^H^Hlivecode-friendly format.

Or at least apply as much diligence in doing so as they would for any other property. I think this is a reasonable thing to ask for. I, on the other hand, think that reserving the right to make changes to the format is a good thing. And given that, I think the warning paragraph in the documentation is to the point: go ahead and use this, but note that the format may change in the future.

I haven't used that combination, particularly the utf8 part, but off the top of my head, I'd say one problem looks like MySQL is making crlf pairs from your cr characters.

I'd have to dig it up again, but I seem to remember that single-threading was the issue that would kill using revServer this way. You either have a single thread per user application, blocking, and no variable persistence (no fastCGI) or you have shared persistent variables and a single engine instance with multiple users in the same memory space (fastCGI). -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Monte- Thursday, September 9, 2010, 8:34:11 PM, you wrote: Did you know revTools comes back toplevel after it's hidden? I'm sure it's fixed in the newer version OK - that's a new one. I've never seen that, and none of the beta testers have ever reported seeing it. Maybe there's some interaction with other plugins in your system? Take a look at the way revObjective is separated into two plugins now. An invisible one not shown on the menu and a modeless one that is on the menu. Although your plugin is clearly much more complex maybe that's a good option for you? The visible one could be the help/prefs stack. We need heaps more plugin hooks. More plugin hooks would be great. Until then, here's what I've done with the latest build: on preOpenStack I check to see if the string revmenubar.rev ,menuPick is in the executionContexts. If so then it was instantiated from the plugins menu and I bring up the preferences menu, otherwise the debugger was launched from a breakpoint or error condition, and stack opening proceeds normally. One other thing is if the debug console is open and you try and quit rev then rev hangs. Another one I've never seen. It works OK here, although I don't usually try to quit while I've got a debug session open. I just downloaded the version from revOnline to check these things out and I don't see either of the effects you're describing. I'm mystified. Overall it looks like a great new addition to Rev. Thanks.

ANN: PowerDebug
I've been holding off announcing this until the 4.5 launch, but I think maybe I should go ahead and (pre)announce anyway. We've launched PowerDebug for RunRev and MetaCard, an upgrade for the built-in debugger/variable watcher/runtime error stacks. There's a trial version on revOnline that is fully functional but will present annoying nag screens (launching your browser) at random intervals to encourage you to buy the unrestricted version (at a special launch sale price). There's also a walkthrough of most of the features at http://www.ahsoftware.net/PowerTools/PowerDebug/PDDemo.html Yes, it will allow you to debug preOpenCard and resize handlers that are otherwise out of reach. More features than I would care to take up bandwidth listing here, including a nifty ExplainError() function to help demystify those cryptic error codes. Works with/without tRev, so you can do both debugging and decoding. Just about everything you could ask for in an xtalk debugger. ...and (more preannouncing) soon you'll be able to trigger a virtual breakpoint from a specified message issued by any script: something calling DisplayAboutBox but you don't know where? Just set a virtual breakpoint for that message and you'll be placed in the debugger with the context of the caller. http://www.ahsoftware.net/PowerTools/BuyPowerDebug.irev -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
