Hi Mike,
It sounds like you're talking about things that apply when your server
stack is used in a long-running LC process. If you run in CGI mode, you
don't have to deal with some of those things (like figuring out when to
reload a stack). Personally I'm glad the on-rev default is CGI mode.

Sorry I didn't get back to you till now, but it looks like things are
covered as far as accessing a stack file from lc server. As for the other
direction, (lc server talking to an in memory stack..) FROM the stack
itself would be a simple http request, but the reverse not so much.
I'm now curious though. If one were to change an lc stack file, and have
your executing stack look for an updated timestamp ever so often, you could
have it unload the old version, and reload the freshly updated one for
processing possibly. Though it would probably be simpler to have lc server
write to a file and just load whatever new data from the file with the
stack.
Or, if the stack doesn't need to be running all the time, lc server could
shell call the stack executable (perhaps a simple stackrunner) that would
take an external stackfile name as a parameter to do whatever it is you
need to do.
Also, depending on what you need to do, the httpd stack by andre garzia is
pretty awesome. (it would bipass the need for lc server, but is single
threaded so might not be appropriate for some things) Its been a while
since I messed with it, but when I did, I set up an android app that took
in swipes and clicks and sent the information to the httpd stack (and at
the time I had managed to build a "click" external.. its probably here
somewhere).. basically i had a home brew computer remote control app that
was incredibly simple to build, and worked great. If it fits your use
case, that httpd stack is awesome.

Hi Stephen, Phil, & Jacque,
Thanks for the info! I’ll get back to you after studying this stuff.

some stack use info as used in web app RevIgniter:

by the way, RevIgniter is a self-contained framework that you might find
useful for all kinds of web development in livecode.
It might be a little different than your own programming style, but John
Craig's creation is a living example of the "Model-View-Controller"
concept.

Hi Stephen,
That sounds promising.. do you know of any good examples?
Thanks,

stacks are great with LC server. For instance, one can use custom
properties and libraries just by 'start using' that stack.
I'm not sure about fields but I think they are accessible too.
And one can test and edit everything 'on the ground' first.
