Dynamic WAMimeDocument
Locked
 
|
Hello
For my demo at Smalltalk WebCamp I needed a web "resource" (image) whose contents are generated dynamically. I solved this using a dynamic mime document that takes a block which produces the contents on demand. Have some of you had similar requirements at one point? How did you solve it? Would this be generally useful? Some of the things I struggled with: - equality with WAMimeDocument is tricky as the full contents have to be produced - rather than having to produce the full contents it would sometimes be useful to get access to the stream of the response and write to this instead Cheers Philippe _______________________________________________ seaside-dev mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/seaside-dev |

Hello
As nobody has responded I don't assume that's something that anybody has had a need for.

Hi Philippe,
I havene't had the need so far but from reading your description I feel it migth be interesting to have for unit tests. Not sure what those unit tests would be about though...

Dynamic generation of documents is a topic that pops up from time to time in the questions.
It might be good to save the code in the examples or in the tests.

Hi all,
It depends of course on the size of the files … I can remember that I made a solution that generated a file to disk and included a link in the reply. This is recommended if the file size is large. In this way I did not need to generate the stream myself. The stream itself is usually encoded, depending on the content type.
