If you like the ASP / ASPX JSP was - it is supported by IceBreak

Hi Niels

With particular reference to ASPX pages (.NET Pages) if I submit an HTTP
request for an .aspx page to the IceBreak Server (running on the i?) could
you please explain the processing cycle which occurs i.e. how the final
.aspx page is compiled and the results returned to the clients browser?. I
for one would sure like to understand how this works?

Regards

Maurice O'Prey

Gents;

To many tools out there are based on "one-size-fits-all". IceBreak follows
an other path and was designed to work with any RPG skill-level you might
have. If you like the ASP / ASPX JSP was - it is supported by IceBreak. If
you like to make Rich Clients like ExtJs - icebreak supports the RESTfull
services datastores behind with one line of code. SOAP services - All
services programs becomes SOAP services.

IceBreak is simply an application server and a webserver in one, that
handles session stability, multithreading, security, SSL, pooling,
No-single-point-of-failure, loadbalancing etc.. - and all the nasty stuff
you will find in microsoft IIS, Oracels GlassFish etc etc - But IceBreak is
writte 100% for the IBMi platform in mind.

So yes - you will find some fixed formats IceBreak samples - and thats is
also the intention to show you can move real old "Input Primary" program to
the web.

Btw- I see all the references is to www.IceBreak.org .. and yes it's a
little rusty. However we have just released the new:
www.IceBreak-community.com

IceBreak - you can have it with chocolate and vanilla - it is you choice.




Best regards

I have changed the thread title for this. I was also slightly misled by
the examples into thinking it was an ASP approach and nothing else, so maybe
the examples could do with an update? I say that in the full knowledge that
it is easier said than done and we don't manage to do it very well either!

That aside, is it possible to use the IceBreak HTTP server as a
replacement for Apache for applications that have already been written? To
be more specific, if I have an RPG program that reads from stdin using
QtmhRdStin and returns output via QtmhWrStout can I call that program via
the IceBreak HTTP server and have content returned to the browser? Even if
it is not possible now, would it be possible after a little bit of pain on
my part?

Is it really 10 times faster than Apache as was claimed earlier by Jim?

Kevin

Hi Maurice

With IceBreak, you can choose which path you will go with your web
development. You are not bound by any methods or mask programs, but can
freely choose from all shelves. All the freedom which IceBreak makes
available means of course that you must find the method that suits you best.

Some choose the ASP route, while others choose to split HTML, JavaScript
(JS) and RPGLE in different files. Eg. I have recently programmed an "edit
system value" maintain application - in ExtJs by the Way. I have divided the
pieces into html, JS and RPGLE source in three different files.

You can find all sources here http://www.icebreak.dk/sysvaledit.zip

First there is my HTML (sysValEdit.html) who is just used to link things
together with references to my JS and of course the primary link to the
application (http://myserver:8080/sysValEdit.html) from the URL in the
browser.

Eg.:

<html>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="sysValEdit.js"> </ script> ...
</ Html>

sysValEdit.js is a larger file that is written in 100% JS and it is the
one that contains the ExtJS code. It uses AJAX to retrieve my data from my
System i. When the browser is ready for showing, it calls my RPGLE program
SYSVALEDIT directly on my System i and returns data to the browser. The
RPGLE program is written in pure RPGLE except for the first line of code in
this example. This line is used by the IceBreak pre-compiler to switch to
RPGLE. But if you like to have your RPGLE isolated in a source file in a
library, you simple make your own 100 % RPGLE code and compile the source
without the IceBreak pre-compiler - use whatever you like, WSDL, RDi, SEU to
edit and compile - I don't care. All you need is a binding directory and
guess what - it is called ICEBREAK.

This is just one way to use IceBreak on! You can choose the path that you
yourself seem to suit you.

You should also know that there is an IceBreak community where you can
find lot more information:

http://www.icebreak-community.com/

I hope that you can use my information in your quest for the perfect
solution for Web and System i.
