Delphi used to include a demos folder for web Services, but no longer seems to include this.
I just tried the Delphi 7 demo projects (SOAPDMServerWAD
, a server with almost no UI at all, and SOAPDMClient
) and was unable to get them to function, even in Delphi 7.
If anybody has ever made a similar demo work in Delphi XE, or Delphi 2010, identical to the old SOAPDMServerWAD+SoapDMClient
demos, working in Delphi XE, and with at least the minimal UI that comes from the Delphi SOAP Server application wizard, that would be perfect.
Update: The demo appears all the way up to Delphi 2010 but uses the now-obsoleted WAD (web-app-debugger), I tried to port it to the new Indy runtime/web-app-development-harnessing-code
, but I can't seem to get it working. The demo runs, but the server has no User interface, and does not appear to be running any HTTP server (tested using a regular web browser, via http://localhost:port/
urls. By the way, try googling for a demo, and this url comes up, and I asked less than an hour ago. That's scary, google.
Update2 See my own answer below, a link is coming soon with working code.
