Detailed Description

A base class which can be subclassed to create a HTTP component for a Web site.

A subclass of TdjWebComponent must override at least one method, usually one of these:

• OnGet, if the web component supports HTTP GET requests
• OnPost, for HTTP POST requests
• OnPut, for HTTP PUT requests
• OnDelete, for HTTP DELETE requests

Member Function Documentation

OnGetLastModified()

TDateTime TdjWebComponent::OnGetLastModified ( TdjRequest Request )

protected

Returns the time the WebComponent object was last modified.

If the time is unknown, this method returns 0 (the default).

WebComponents that support HTTP GET requests and can quickly determine their last modification time should override this method. This makes browser and proxy caches work more effectively, reducing the load on server and network resources.

Parameters

Request

HTTP request

Returns

the last modified timestamp

OnPatch()

TdjWebComponent::OnPatch ( TdjRequest Request, TdjResponse Response )

protected

Called by the server (via the service method) to allow a component to handle a PATCH request.

Service()

TdjWebComponent::Service	(	TdjServerContext	Context,
		TdjRequest	Request,
		TdjResponse	Response )

Dispatches client requests to the protected service method.

Note

a custom Web Component should not override this method.

Parameters

Context	HTTP server context
Request	HTTP request
Response	HTTP response

Exceptions

EWebComponentException

if an exception occurs that interferes with the component's normal operation
