POCO 1.3.6 Released!

I am happy to announce that 1.3.6 is now available. This release contains both bugfixes (some critical), as well as a few new features. As always, the details are in the CHANGELOG. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.


GLUEscript & POCO

Franky Braem, the author of GLUEscript (successor of wxJavaScript) is working on POCO Javascript scripting engine (SpiderMonkey based) library. The engine is being developed to fit into the Poco::Script sandbox project, which already has a rudimentary Lua library. I looked over the code and liked it – it sure does look like a good old Poco-style […]


New Screencasts

Last week I created two screencasts that demonstrate the Applied Informatics Remoting toolkit, which is based on POCO. Remoting allows you to easily implement network services, object-based IPC and SOAP web services in C++ by writing C++ classes with special annotations. A code generator then does all of the heavylifting. See it all in my […]


1.3.6 Coming Next Week

If everything goes well and no serious issues come up, 1.3.6 will be released next Tuesday. Please use the time to do some more testing with the 1.3.6 branch.


C++ SOAP Web Services With Remoting

Our second screencast shows how to build a SOAP web service in C++ with Applied Informatics Remoting. The sample project shown in the screencast is based on the StockQuotes server from the Remoting in 15 Minutes webcast, so please watch that one first if you haven’t yet. Apple QuickTime or another player capable of playing […]


Remoting in 15 Minutes

Our first screencast shows how to build a simple distributed C++ application based on Applied Informatics Remoting. You’ll learn how to write the service class, how to configure and run the code generator, and how to write the client and server applications. All in just 15 minutes. Apple QuickTime or another player capable of playing […]


Where to Put The OSP CodeCache Directory

One of the questions that comes up frequently when installing an OSP-based application on an end-user system is where to put the OSP codeCache. The OSP framework itself does not care where the codeCache is located, so you’re basically free to put it wherever you’d like. Of course, there are system-specific conventions and restrictions where […]


Please Help Testing 1.3.6

The 1.3.6 branch should be in pretty good shape now, except for that NetSSL leak I mentioned in a previous post. Before officially releasing 1.3.6, I’d like to have it tested a bit more. So if you are currently using 1.3.5 and can donate some time, please get 1.3.6 from SVN and test it with […]


POCO, JSON, ExtJS, PDF and RowFormatter

If anyone wonders what are those recent sandbox commits about, I’ve been working on some reports recently and opted to use ExtJS in conjunction with the sandbox JSON and PDF libraries. Well, the verdict is that those two sandbox libs are actually quite stable and usable. JSON even comes with ExtJS remoting (a.k.a. Ext.Direct) support. […]
