Hi all, im working with apache modules on apache 2.3 for direct application development..
and at least for data, i thought use something like [input filter -> handler -> output filter] where the input filter receives a formated string and parse into a internal object struct.. the handler get it and using a rest mechanism (put,delete,get,post) in the handler.. the handler then call a db api, for the data operation.. and if is something like get.. the output filter decode our internal object struct into the formated string.. first thing to ask.. its that arquitecture right, since i can do this only with a handler.. without the filters.. but what i saw is that there classical modules, with practices from apache 1.. and modules designed with 2.0 and 2.2 in mind.. so, what would be the best practice for this scenario, if you can design something targeting 2.4?! i saw the smart filter, but couldnt fire it.. since i didnt see a example module using it.. and with [in filter -> handler -> out filter] scenario, right now if i hook a handler.. the filter doesnt fire.. wich make me think in forget about filter and do it all in the handler.. thatś whats about my question here.. why not? thanks!
