Hi All,
I am looking for some code in FP to develope a client/server (3-tier) application (I need only the middleware part), could someone point me?
Thanks!

If the indy components compile under FPC, they could be used. Take a look at : http://www.indyproject.org/Articles.html

I have a 3 tier system I'm writing in Delphi currently. Client Tier connects to Server Tier with the data stored in an interbase server. All 3 items can be distributed onto separate servers/desktops. It's been fairly painless with Indy so far. Hardest part was the transport protocol between the client and server. Then again this *is* all in Delphi, so your milage may vary.

If you want something more exotic, you could easily add more logical layers using a similar model.

Thank you for this information, but on server side I prefer to stay with FPC and Linux/FreeBSD.

No, they are even digging in deeper. They say they'll be open (and e.g. base the new word format on XML), but then they pervert XML so that only Microsoft and partners can process the word documents.

i have programmed and installed a peer-to-peer solution between two PC's using windows me. On my office computer, I have both windows 98 with FPC and linux with FPC .. I spend much time changing OS .. I dare suggest real-time switching between the two OSs, as long as we still use one-processor-systems .. But that would require Microsoft to join the band.

VmWare?

Microsoft will offer this type of service in Windows Server 2003 (or whatever the name is) as an add-on I think. Probably it will be incorporated into next releases.

They have recently acquired a company that has such products so MS is entering the Virtual Machine market to stop the leakage of corporate customers. There is going to be some very interesting changes in the OS market in the near future.

Good word. Keeps in mind that virtuality and reality are essentially the same. Really, I'm not sure if Microsfot Widows actually know(s?) that simple fact ..

Sebastian Guenther is working on fpXML-RPC: This is functional, and can be used for 3 tier programming. In fact he uses it for exactly that. (mail )

from my point of view, c/s is a subset of p2p, isn't it? i mean that point of view is a precondition to understanding all things.
