Hello,
I'm in the process of converting a relatively complex LMS from Delphi to fpc.
In Delphi I was using a descendant of TCustomWebDispatcher instead of a TWebModule in order to avoid depending on DFM resources. Is it possible to use fclweb without linking LResources and a lazarus resource file?
Thanks ,

One way is without using modules, select 'File-New-Custom CGI Program' from the lazarus-menu.

Another way is using the 'normal' web-module, but remove it's resource-file. So you have to create all do
that you can simply remove the LResources from the uses-line, and remove the {$I unit1.lrs} line.

This seems to produce a simple CGI app, not an apache module.

And this is the first thing I tried but the module fails miserably with error:

- *Failed to initialize component: No streaming method available

which makes me think the module is actually looking for a resource, especially as the module works when i include a stub webmodule resource.

Not sure about this error, but make sure you are using the latest SVN source code for FPC because recently there were multiple bug fixes done in fcl-web

I've using fpc 2.2.4 but I downloaded fcl-web from subversion and applied some of your unapplied patches I found on Mantis, which improve Delphi compatibility quite a bit.
I believe this is more a problem of TDataModule, though.

I think all those patches are now applied - with minor changes - by Joost in the latest SVN.

Ok, 'File-New-Custom Apache Module' and you'll have an apache module.

(But you really need svn lazarus and fpc to get this really to work)

That's indeed a TDataModule issue.

Why don't you want to have the resource file?

Fundamentally because if I could avoid LResources my module could be compiled using only fpc, as I create all my actions programmatically.

Ciao,

I Agree with Giovanni, in next my project i like to use only FPC to create Apache module.
