Hi,

BESIDES the request to have WebBroker in D8* (the .Net version and the coming
Win32 version), we can suggest some improvements for it (could be done in some
service pack for D7 too):

- Multiple WebModules. The ideal would be to have real multiple WebModules,
instanced separated in memory depending on the invoked action or path info,
avoiding allocating all resources, as it happens when loading a single
webmodule holding all components, code and data.

- If not possible to have real multiple webmodules, it would be nice to have at
least many virtual modules for project organization purposes - or something
like a "paged" webmodule.

- Ability to include "captions", "bevels" or "group boxes" to the webmodules
just for organization purposes. Should work like comments... For example, it
would help to find and manage lots of PageProducers in a large project.

These are my "two cents". I LOVE WebBroker!

Marcelo,

My approach to use the WebModule only for dispatching and handling the Web
request. All the logic and component I use are located on separate units or
datamodules. To me the WebModule is a link to WebBroker and nothing else.

Or, you can access a remote server program, using a Socket or Web
connection. There you can have as many datamodules as you like. It works
well from my IntraWeb application, have yet to try it from WebBroker but it
must be just the same....

Hi,

We don't need WebBroker really. When in D4, when WebBroker was optional in
some versions, I did my ISAPI/CGIs using console programming. An it worked very
well. There are many "work-arounds"...

But we are talking about RAD - and WebBroker is an useful tool for many
situations. Of course I'm not talking that it can replace high level tools like
IW or ASP.Net.

Marcelo,

You could do without WebBroker, but why would you want to?

Hi,

We can make programs using Assembly, why do we need Delphi?

This is the concept of the RAD tecnology, enhance productivity. Despite
possible to do without it, WebBroker brings many tools to turn easier to handle
requests, databases and HTML templates. Depending the application, if not
Form/Visual/Session based, even better then IntraWeb, WebSnap, ASP.Net, and so
on.

Also many customers can have lots of applications made with WebBroker that
will need to be continued...
