Re: IceBreak as an alternative to Apache? -- WEB400

Aarron

I take your point and it is well made.

Maurice

With the amount of confusion that comes with IceBreak's mention of it

being
"like ASP", I wish they would discontinue the phrasing. It confused me when
Neils first described it. In the end it creates immediate debate that takes
away from discussing the cool features of the framework.

There's my $.02,

My two cents:

The only way IceBreak or any other toolset could support ASP.Net would be
to run under the Microsoft .Net Framework stack and support Microsoft
Code-Behinds, Event Model, etc...

Who is using fancy buzzwords, either IceBreak supports Microsoft

ASP.NETpages or it doesn't (and from what I've read so far in these
responses) it

doesn't?

Please stop mixing the term ASP with ASPX (they are completely different
technologies). The rest of the echo stuff is complete crap.

- Maurice O'Prey

Let me try to explain this without fancy buzzwords:

In Icebreak you place your sourcecode in an IFS files. This file looks and
behaves like an ASP or PHP page where you with a special syntax can switch
between server side code and client code (HTML etc.) so the sourcecode can
hold both.

What Icebreak does, is that it translate this IFS file to a RPGLE
sourcemember where all client code (HTML etc.) is imbedded in procedure

call

like WrtNoSection('bla bla bla') in CGIDEV2 or echo('bla bla bla') in my
frame- work that both write the embedded client code into the HTTP output
buffer.

The smart thing is that you do not have to code ...

echo('<html>');
echo('<body>');
echo('hello world');
echo(</body>');

but can code large sections of client code like this

some rpgle serverside code
%> // start client code
<html>
<body>
hello world
</body>
<% // end client code
*inlr =on;
