Actually fpcjs is the first project that I, (myself), have seen that addresses the gateway issue of accessing application level methods. Granted fcpjs (currently) only supports one type of callback(variant array):variant. The only issue I see is having a quasi fpc/js design restriction in developing apps with no OOP - coding low-level linear methods(for register) with maps to JS object counterparts. The other MAJOR issue is that callbacks via Register are not working on Linux !?!. Docs said they needed something about native registration. But this project looks lightweight enough on its face. I'm at a point in my project where I think I am needing something like this. In an ideal world, any application level scripting engine should know how to interface with FPC objects @ runtime w/o variants. Currently, my largest problem is because without things like scripting : * Admins must rebuild the service exe every time back-end objects are modified. * Production environments where each binary is installed on a different device across the network cluster(s)/node(s) will have different versions. * Auto-build or auto-updates via distribution system will most likely lead to problems for either us or for Admins during deployment. The use of a scripting engine would resolve these problems. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
