Hi, Just over 3 years ago I asked about FPC support for creating 3-tier database applications. The answer was basically: it's not possible (unless you roll your own Midas / Datasnap code).
TClientDataset also missed some vital features, and the state of WebServices was also not complete. Here is the original message thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org/msg00861.html So after 3 year, what has changed? Is the missing parts already implement, and is a Midas / Datasnap style 3-tier application possible with FPC? I also believe Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero released the Midas source code in post Delphi 7 versions. Anybody have success in compiling that code with FPC? Yes I know you can't release such code, and yes I know Datasnap will probably only work with Windows. But from my Kylix 3 manual it mentions TSoapConnection and WebServices for multi-tier development, so was wondering if FPC had no alternative, if I could possibly compile that Kylix 3 code using FPC - anybody tried this before?
