I'm pleased to announce that the 2nd edition of my book will also show how to use
the open source Mormot and its array of popular databases with EWB.

I put up a sample Win32 server (stock Mormot example #18 source code) with a 3 kB example
EWB source code file to create a simple database of fish names.  You can insert, delete,
view all or update any entry.

The sample is at:  http://erickengelke.com/ewb/mormot/mormot.zip

I haven't yet released my Mormot interfacing library for EWB.  I will be extending it for the next
few days hopefully.

I actually started experimenting with EWB while  writing a Mormot book and got sidetracked by EWB.  
I plan to finish the Mormot book next.  Mormot is a phenomenal piece of software.

The hardest part of Mormot is figuring out how to use use it.  The documentation is there, but it's not easy reading.
See synopse.info

That is absolutely terrific.

Thankyou Erick

Sorry, the sample had to be moved to

Fantastic!

I have looked at Mormot several times, but it's just too much heaviness on the website for me to figure it out. This would be a great pathway. Thanks.

Erick:
Not having used Mormot before and knowing EWB Modules require Delphi XE, I am asking this: Does this work with Delphi 7, Delphi 2005-2010 and Lazarus?

Yes, yes, yes, and I believe D6 too.

What I've got working so far is the anonymous REST service suitable for phonebooks.  

I'm working on the obscure password encryption for authenticated access.  
I had to write CRC32 and SHA-256 for EWB, yikes, which are
mostly complete now.  Probably I'll need a few more hours of dedicated time on this.

I figured out the complex authentication sequence last week (rainy day on vacation) and have written 3 short examples with about 25 pages of documentation.

What the examples show :
 - how to use mormot-like functions to access Mormot databases in beautiful SOA REST
      - GET, PUT, POST, DELETE

 - how to use EWB's TDataset to talk to Mormot, so you can use TGrid and all your other
    EWB tools.

 - how to call RPCs, so you can post any data and receive any data, and do anything you want
   on the server in between.

 - how to use Mormot's EXCELLENT password scheme

Mormot does not transmit the password in plaintext even in SSL, it uses modern cryptography so that even if you know all the secrets and SSL keys and have the source code, you still cannot decipher a password.  

Mormot can use all popular databases and supports up to 50,000 concurrent connections on Win32, more on 64 bit systems, it's awesome.

I think this will set a new standard for those of us who run our own servers.  It doesn't help with the PHP web sites, but it does if you can run Win32 or Linux binaries.

For the Mormot chapter I didn't include the Momot library source I wrote to interface the two, It's too long, and too subject to change.  Tim and I have agreed to make it available on the EWB site as a third party freebee.

Phenomenal stuff!

I, like others patiently await 2.05 and your books second edition. Also worth the extra wait as Tim reviews it.

Thanks for the updates!

Erick,

Does Mormot also have WebSockets? And, if so can an example also be included?
