Retrieving LZX from a Database

[dasgrafix]

Can Laszlo pull LZX files from the database, without having it sit on the server. For example can I store an lzx in Oracle as a BLOB and have laszlo compile it and serve it to users?

Currently my application has its entire file structure in the database, and I would like to add Laszlo as the presentation layer. Thus the need to pull files from the database.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hello,

I am trying to do the same but with php. I guess that if you store your lzx scripts on a database and use something fast like php to serve them it should work. Take a look at php and laszlo thread under general help.

Thanks scheidecker! I'll try that and I'll let you know how far I get!

Now that PHP can integrate with Tomcat / Laszlo (at least in early stages of testing) you can access SQLlite or MySQL.

That is the next experiment on the cards.

PHP5 offers SimpleXML.
