Installing with IIS 5.1 (XP)

[johnsparrowuk]

Just starting to try out Laszlo, wow!

I'd like to run it via IIS, but the instructions are out-of-date, and jakarta, tomcat (not to mention lps!) have all changed.

Can someone help, and post an up-to-date set of instructions.

I started by using:
http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/ftp.apache.org/jakarta/tomcat-connectors/jk2/binaries/win32/jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2.0.4-win32-IIS.zip

Was this right??

One more question.. if I call .aspx pages or web services to provide data, does the request come from the client running Flash (like Windows Forms), or the lps server (like .aspx pages)?

Thanks,

John

In LPS 2.2, the LPS server proxies all runtime requests.

So a request for something like http://localhost/foo.aspx will be made by the LPS, on behalf of the LZX app running in the Flash runtime.

In the future, LZX will allow data and media requests to be "direct" (i.e., not proxied thru the LPS).

That doesn't involve a lengthy recompile does it?

The delay in first calling a .lzx seems quite long. But if thats a one-off, (or once-per-boot like .net) it's no problem.

Thanks,

John

The app is not recompiled for runtime data and media proxies.
