internetapplication 2

How easy is it to rebuild a Delphi Win application for the internet and does anyone have experience with this.
We have build an Delphi application (3-tier) with Midas. The client application (windows interface) must be rebuild as an WebInterface. Please give us youre input experience on this matter. This would be very helpfull.

This is very easy to do especially with the new Delphi 6. If you don't have Delphi 6, Delphi 5 will also do. With Delphi 6 (Enterprise Edition) you will have support for XML, SOAP and WSDL. The only problem is that Web applications are much slower than the executables, so don't expect "Delphi is Speed" in the execution stage, but for development it still is.
Delphi 5:->
The client side can be done with ease, but you will have to use a MidasPageaProducer per page, or you will have to do some run-time assignments to reduce the number of PageProd.. components in your WebModule.

hi,
It is not Easy, if you are going to use ActiveX Form.(It will not work in Netscape)
It is Tough, if you are going to use
WebModule/MidasPageProducer.

i can give some idea about this if you choose one of above.

Hi all

I've created a very basic web server that simply displays a table of information when the user clicks on a link on the webserver homepage.

My problem is that when I change the data on the database and then proceed to click "refresh" on my browser, the updated data doesn't get displayed in my browser.

I'm using Delphi 7, a TdatasetTableProducer component and the interbase database.

It doesn't appear that the component makes a live connection to the database at runtime but only at design time, and then extracts this info into an HTML file to display on my webserver i.e. Fixed information.

Is my deduction correct, and if so, how would I go about getting a live connection to the database so that I could present dynamic information on my website with a constantly changing database, using the internet components of Delphi 7 Pro.

Thanks!!
