Example Web42 broken in NT8?

[Neil Porter]

I've just tried to convert one of my smaller NT6 apps to NT8 just to dip a toe into the water.

The app is a effectively a small soap server.

The app keeps crashing when it tries to serve xml files.

The code in question is this:

  ! finally send result
  p_web.ParseHTML(Xml.XmlData,1,Xml.XmlDataLen,Net:NoHeader)

I understand that ParseHTML is now expecting to be passed a StringTheory object so i've changed the code to be:

 Packet.append(xml.XmlData)
 p_web.ParseHTML(packet,1,0,Net:NoHeader)

The packet.append statement now crashes

I'm seeing this in Example 42 as well, and wondered if anyone else is seeing this, or has found a work around?

Regards,

Neil.

try;
 Packet.append(xml.XmlData)
 p_web.ParseHTML(packet,1,packet.Length(),Net:NoHeader)

I don't think it will matter but worth a try.
Which build of NT8 are you using?

cheers

Hi Bruce,

I'm running NT 8.02

I'm afraid your suggestion didn't work.

I'm not sure if the attached screen shot gives you any pointers.

Regards,

Neil.

Neil, make sure the StringTheory Global Extension is registered.

I admit, I did forget it initially,

but the compiler warning helped me out there.

String Theory version 2.04 was added, and I still get the error.

Regards,

Neil.

Hi,

Have same problem NT7 to NT8 SOAP server.

Example 42 fails. C8, NT8.12, Xfiles 2.52, ST 2.06

Any idea?

I hadn't updated that example to NT8 yet - although I have now.
On the up side it did GPF on run here, so it's likely that your code has the same problem.

The problem was a line of embed code

packet = ''

This is no longer a legal construction, because packet is an object. Follow the instructions here;
http://www.capesoft.com/docs/NetTalk8/NetTalk8Upgrade.htm#NewPacket
to find this problem in your own code.

the line should now read;

Packet.SetValue('')

It works.

Thanks,
