Utilizing the Rebol plug-in for applications

 [1/3] from: jfdutcher1958::yahoo::com at: 29-Oct-2008 16:35


I'm curious to know if those who have knowledge and experience with  the concept of the Rebol browser plug-in can comment  on this question. Is a series of Rebol scripts that constitutes a complete application  executable  in the browser plug-in  with little or no  change.  This consists of scripts which call (do)  other scripts in a flow  of responses to user selections to VIEW displays and revolve around a Rebol  file  as a datasource. Will placing these scripts and the datasource on the server allow them to execute via the plug-in pretty much as they would if they were on a local drive ??

Best to think of it as running on the user's drive ... and not the server. The server is just where the script is sourced from. So, if you have multiple scripts executed using do http://some-rebol.r sprinkled in your main script, these other scripts could be cached and used that way.

Sounds like you should use session-id (and maybe user accounts on the server side) and simply assume, that the other applets opened after the first log-in belong to the same session, =EFf they come from the same IP (or maybe you have a cookie to identify you). Some sort of co-operation is possible, but means you really can design the overall system well. The server should create a "session instance", which knows the current state of your overall session. That way each applet can do its part. You could use semaphores to control the access of several processes to the state and so on. Implement semaphores by the file rename trick.

About yes. Do first one applet (I like Rebol applets, easier and more lightweight than the most other non-Java alternatives), then somehow learn the session instancing, then do a duo applet and so on. :) Please don't show the result code to the Rebol purists though, or at least mention that you-did-it-only-because-you-had-to...
