MwGate is a collection of Gateways based on
the MidWare components, which can be used for
Web applications requiring CGI, ISAPI and
ASP support. The distribution currently contains
three Gateway modules:
- ActiveX:
MWClient.ocx
- CGI:
CgiGate.exe
- ISAPI:
IsaGate.dll

Below is a description of the three Gateway modules included in
the MwGate distribution:
| MidWare Gateway |
Description |
| MWClient.ocx |
MWClient.ocx
is an ActiveX than act
as a client to a MidWare application
server. It is very close to the
native VCL MidWare components.
MWClient
is made or a TAppSrvClient and a
TMWBuffer. It exposes properties
and methods to build a request and
send it to MidWare application server,
wait for the reply and fetch result set.
MWClient
is intended for ASP web pages
but can be used with any development
tool that support ActiveX such as
Visual Basic or Visual C/C++. |
| CgiGate.exe |
CgiGate.exe
is a very small and fast
CGI program which act as a Gateway
to MidWare application server. You use
CgiGate.exe like
any other CGI from you
HTML page. When run, this CGI pass all
data it receive to MidWare application
server for processing. A
TServerObject
has to handle the request according to
what you need to do and produce HTML
output that is sent back to the client's
browser. The TServerObject
that is triggered is the one responding
to the FunctionCode
equal to CgiGate executable
(you may rename the file suit your need and
to have several differents requests). |
| IsaGate.dll |
IsaGate is just the
same as CgiGate,
but it is an ISAPI extension (a DLL)
which has the advantage to be yet
more faster, but require a Microsoft
webserver while CgiGate
works with any webserver. |
