As promised a few days ago, here are two new and cool addition to POCO. PageCompiler is a simple compiler that translates HTML pages containing embedded C++ code (using syntax familiar from JSP and PHP) into HTTPRequestHandler classes. ApacheConnector is a module for Apache 2.x that allows you to use POCO HTTPRequestHandler subclasses in Apache. […]
I love things that “just work”. Ubuntu distro is supposed to be one of those things. Some time ago, I tried to install it on an old laptop and ended up with LCD panel split in three screens (I’m not kidding) and mouse popping up all over the place. Then I tried Mepis and I […]
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all contributors, users and friends of POCO! And a big Thank You to everyone who contributed – be it in the form of code, bug reports, feature requests or just general comments. 2007 was a great year for POCO, and 2008 is going to be even […]
OK, forget about the step I mentioned before – it’s gone and we have true bulk instead. For the drivers/connectors that support it properly, that is. Namely, when one gets into implementation of more advanced features, some ODBC drivers simply do not live up to the expectations. I was not able to find PostgreSQL driver […]
The XML schema support library has reached a state where I can say: yep, it’s doing something useful. I gave it a test run with the MPEG-7 schema files (one of the larger schemas I know). More than 300 C++ header and source files are generated in less than a few seconds, all beautifully and […]
Since upgrading the Tiki software to the latest release (due to the security issue posted earlier), the wiki and forum registration is unfortunately broken, so registering a new user does not work. We are working on the issue with the Tiki developers and hope to have it fixed soon. In the meantime, just reply to […]
A couple of new features supported by PocoData: multiple resultsets (for batches of statements and stored procedures/functions returning cursors) step – variable number of fetched rows Date and Time binding/extraction (in addition to DateTime) The step feature only works for connectors that support it (e.g. ODBC), otherwise it is silently ignored (e.g. SQLite). Date and […]
Today I finished the implementation of our XML schema parser. Just need to test it throughly and then I can start to implement a C++ code generator based on schema information. This should work flawlessly together with PocoRemoting 🙂 Generating code is so much more fun than writing it…
On November 1, someone hacked our Wiki. The result was that, whenever a link to the Wiki was clicked from a Google search result page, the browser would be redirected to some pr0n site. Thanks to Eric Hill and others for telling me about this. As a result of this, I have upgraded both the […]
The weblog has been quite silent lately, mostly for the reason that we have been quite busy with various projects (using POCO, of course). A few quick updates: Alex has done some significant improvements to the Data library (he has occasionally blogged here about it). I have made some performance improvements to the XML library […]
