Re: SQL2XML and CGI

Yes, all this is part of the Apache server configuration. Questions on this would be better sent to the WEB400 list. Meanwhile, I recommend going to the Apache site and look up the documentation there. This kind of thing is done with aliases and rewrites (have not used the latter - seems they can do anything but have a steep learning curve)

I was not able to get to www.apache.org at the time I sent this post - maybe it's down for a short time.

Hi Helge,

I'm not sure if I'm qualified to answer, but hopefully someone else will write something interesting for both of us. I already have a server set up to use examples of CGIDEV2. I only needed to create all the SQL2XML objects in the library and call my program :

http://Myi5:8016/MyLibraryAlias/SQL2XMLCL.PGM
I <think> you can put almost what you like in the URL, if you have catered for it in your server configuration file.
For instance in place of the above URL, I could have
http://Myi5:8016/domystuff

Hi David.

Could you tell how to display a document (xml etc.) via a CGIDEV2 program in a browser ? Do you have a general concept for all kind of docs or just the xml.

Another approach could be http://mydomain/ifsdir/ifsfile, but this is too much exposure, would like to hide the real source of the document.
(I am still new to CGIDEV2).

Brgds
Helge

Hi everyone,

Thanks to Helge and the post on Giuseppe Costagliola's SQL2XML, I'm discovering this tool and finding it amazing!
Now, I am still very new to CGI programming, but I know XSL quite well.

At the moment, I just have an SQL2XML command that displays a physical file in the browser in XML form. Now I want to create my XSL file. But where do I put it? Does the path have to be described in the server configuration file? How exactly? Can I also put the path in the XML file?

Also, there seems to be very little interest in this tool. Anyone know why that might be?
