[Laszlo-user] Perl Catalyst

[Matt Rosin]

Dear John,

Thank you so much for your unflagging efforts. Those two resources you pointed me to are great. Also the current information you provided is very useful.

Although the compressed format and persistence are not further embellished, I get the gist of it and will study some more.

I'm quite excited about the idea that LPS could be implemented in Perl (or some other language but why;), I think you guys could get huge uptake from that, but I realize the massive work that must have gone into LPS of course.

The wiki also looks quite useful, and while I'm reading the right set of docs I'll look forward to your pending RESTful demo! Super!

Thanks again,

Matt

Hello Matt,

Firstly, you are correct that the documentation that you reference is  
obsolete.  It predates OL4!  I don't know how it remains on the  
openlaszlo.org site, but I have filed at JIRA task to have it taken  
down ASAP, as it's needlessly confusing.  As the doc guy at  
openlaszlo, I apologize for your goose chase.  Please see instead the  
most recent version of this chapter:

http://labs.openlaszlo.org/legals-nightly/docs/guide/architecture.html

Second, as of 4.0.2 the XML-RPC APIs now work in both DHTML and SWF  
runtimes in SOLO mode -- no LPS required.

Third, that Guestblox application is ancient and its code has not  
been updated in at least two years.  It's probably not a good point  
of reference except in the very general sense.  You are correct that  
the documentation is not especially helpful in explaining how to  
construct a RESTful OpenLaszlo application.  We have been working on  
an example application with supporting documentation and hope to post  
it to OpenLaszlo.org very soon -- hopefully, before next week is  
out.  I think this will go a long way towards answering your general  
questions.

Finally, there is some (very spare) documenation of the LPS server  
interface on the OpenLaszlo Wiki:

http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/LPS_server_API

Our goal is to (eventually) provide sufficient documentation such  
that interested third parties could implement the LPS in languages  
other than Java.

I hope this helps,

jrs
