Dave Reynolds | Hi,
Just evaluating this, extremely impressed ![]() Just a few questions: 1) To do database connections etc... do you need to be running the Web Server, of if not could someone point me to some documentation to explain how you don't. 2) if yes to number 1 can you use an SSL connection. Dave. |

Short answer is yes - you need some kind of web service to serve up data. See this answer is FAQ: http://www.elevatesoft.com/supportfaq?action=view&category=ewb&question=database_connectivity The included Web server is one easy option to use but you can really create the back end web service using any other method (Visual Studio, PHP, etc) as it just needs to serve JSON back. > 2) if yes to number 1 can you use an SSL connection. I don't believe Elevate Web Server that's bundled supports SSL at this time. So no there. However, generically answer is yes if you're hosting your web service on some other major web server (IIS/Apache/etc). Raul |

Raul ![]() | Dave,
Error is simply 404 - not found. meaning IIS has no idea what "/datasets/lns" is so it can't serve anything ? What/how did you set up/create the web service? Easiest way to just see it in action is simply to return static JSON response for now (Example JSON in reference even: http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=viewtopic&id=ewb1&topic=JSON_Reference) and use REST so you just have to deal with URLs (not not SOAP or such where you need proper payload as well). Note that you can even return a static JSON file - then you don't even have to write anything for web service.

Dave Reynolds | Hi,
Again thanks for your time. I have IIS 7.5 with ASP installed, I have setup the relivant mappings etc.. Created a website, and placed the deployment files from the masterdetail example in the home directory. I then visit: http://localhost/masterdetail.html And retrieve the error as before, I'm sure i'm just doing something dumb, i've been using intraweb for years, so the change is all new. Thanks for any help. Dave. |

Raul ![]() | That won't work - you can't use any of the examples with IIS as they are designed for Elevate Web Server (which knows how to deal with DBISAM files - IIS does not). If you want to use IIS you need to write your own back-end web service from scratch (and all this needs to do is return appropriate JSON) and then front-end app is written in EWB and access it using server requests. the manual describes the architecture well: http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=topics&id=ewb1§ion=using_server_requests Raul On 12/13/2012 10:01 AM, Dave Reynolds wrote: > Hi, > > Again thanks for your time. > > I have IIS 7.5 with ASP installed, I have setup the relivant mappings etc.. > > Created a website, and placed the deployment files from the masterdetail example in the home directory. > > I then visit: http://localhost/masterdetail.html > > And retrieve the error as before, I'm sure i'm just doing something dumb, i've been using intraweb for years, so the change is all new. > > > Thanks for any help. > > Dave. > |
