Hi,

It's an old request, to have WebBroker back! I heard rumors in
BorCon that it will come back in D9 (only for Win32). Great!!! Does
someone know if it's really true ?

By the way, I'd like to leave some suggestions to this great tool:

-Let we have multiple webmodules, or some kind of paged webmodules,
to turn bigger projects more friendly. I'm not requesting multiple
dispatchers, it can still be only one. Maybe the possibility of having
many webmodules in separate units...

-The possibility of placing "labels" and "panels" in the webmodules,
only for organization purposes, would be nice...

-Despite the information that WebBroker will be available only for
Win32 in D9, it would be nice if avaliable for .Net too, thinking in
the future (at least ISAPI)! I like webbroker specially to make
template based applications, having 100% control over it. They become
fast, thin, very compatible (low or none JS), and very flexible to make
layout changes even while it's running in production!! The WebBroker
CAN co-exist with ASP.Net (and IntraWeb), for many purposes!

-The TPageProducers* should let multiple recursive tag replacements.
After a scan replacing tags, if new # tags are placed should be
processed too. A proporty could limit the number of recursive calls to
avoid infinite loops or even to avoid recursion, if desired. Another
property could define if the recursion should happen after each
complete page processing, or immediately after each new # tag is
inserted.

*TPageProducers are extremely versatile tools, even in non Web
applications!

Regards,

Marcelo.
