Web Rendezvous

Web Rendezvous

 
In VOSS 3.145, the new class VOWebRendezvous with its associated classes and user methods:

VOSSServer>>newWebSession
VOSSServer>>forward:withArgs:to:sessionID:
VOWebSession>>sendToWeb:

manages communication back and forth between an application process and a web server, by means of a sequence of web-serving processes, forked off the back of the web server, for the application process to fulfill a browser page request and, if required, wait for the web server’s next page request which supplies user-entered data to the application.

The classes VOPretendWebServer and VOPretendWebApp provide a simplistic documentary example of this.
