Hi Neven
Yes a fat client (Delphi Win 32 app) that simply needs to send some data
to a centralised web DB (Voucher sales / redemptions) and get from a
centralised web site voucher sales / redemptions from other sites. I
don't want to do direct web based DB connection so I thought a simple
web server that processed send / get commands would be best.
A further requirement is a web page (s) that can display information
from DB i.e. Sales info.
So the visual aspect is very low. I need to get a simple proof of
concept built (just reading / writing to a flat file) and then will
extend it to a full DB application (I was going to use Firebird
Embedded, because we know that (and have access components) but if we
are using Non Delphi technologies then I suppose other DB types are up
for grabs :) ) But thats another conversation :)
Hope that makes it clearer.

Is this a web app? ie a browser based client? I'd use PHP and AJAX
(which is what Delphi for PHP uses)
If you want "roll your own" look at this ajax lib
http://www.ajaxtoolbox.com/request/
From the way your expressing yourself (ie SOAP) I think you are
looking at a Fat client talking to a Web Server
backend and unless you have extreme graphics requirement at the client
I wouldn't bother
It would be easier to advise if we knew more

Ok. We don't have ASP.Net or PHP (I suppose we could get one or
other).
How would my Delphi app receive / send the data? SOAP?

Use
ASP.NET or even PHP. Either of these two will provide you with web
services
capabilities that you can call from your Delphi client.

Am I the only one thinking that this should be done in ASP.NET?
Writing some simple soap service and a reporting page is pretty much
as easy
as it gets .. perfect to get your toes wet in a newer better supported
technology (who knows how much longer intraweb will be supported).
Kind Regards,

Hi
I am trying to put together a simple VCL for web application. I
can get a simple web page going which is great however I would
also like to provide some services i.e. some sort of get data
and send data functionality from a delphi client app. Is this
possible or do i need to use SOAP and create a web service app?
The situation is we want to be able to have an app then sends a
small amount of data to a web site (DB) and receives data
(perhaps large) from the web site. However there is also a
requirement for a web interface reporting some data.
This isn't something I have much knowledge in but the VCL for
web (Intraweb) stuff looked like it would make the web interface
simple.
Suggestions?
