If someone is looking for some kind of purity (using exclusively .NET for web management) recently I have discovered <a href="http://www.dotnetnuke.com/">http://www.dotnetnuke.com/</a><br><br>Is a CMS (like Alfresco, Drupal, Joomla...) but runs over .NET. It shouldn't be too difficult to connect the native Opensim components to get/set data instead of accessing directly to database.<br>
<br>Greetings<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/1/7 Fly Man <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fly.man.opensim@gmail.com">fly.man.opensim@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
In other words:<br><br>Wiredux won't use those connectors but will grab to the database itself. Wiredux is not a .NET application so it will go directly to the database.<br><br>I will wait until the refactoring is done, have a look what's wrecked and maybe fix it.<br>
<br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/1/5 <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:diva@metaverseink.com" target="_blank">diva@metaverseink.com</a>></span><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Putting PHP in front of the DBs is one of the most natural things to do<br>
from here on -- not just the things that Wiredux does, but for a lot<br>
more! In fact, the entire collection of OpenSim.Services that are<br>
provided as reference implementations can be replaced with<br>
implementations in Apache+PHP.<br>
<br>
Calls from the simulators to the services are now all neatly packaged in<br>
OpenSim.Services.Connectors (these are the "out" connectors). Just<br>
browse through those connectors and check out the wire protocols, then<br>
do the receiving end in PHP. Many of them are using standard web forms,<br>
others use XMLRPC, others use custom-made HTTP-based dialects.<br>
<br>
Calls from outside to the simulators are packaged in<br>
OpenSim.Server.Handlers. Again, check them out and, if not using .NET,<br>
write your own client for them. If using .NET/mono you can import the<br>
DLL OpenSim.Connectors.dll, and reuse the existing connectors as-is.<br>
<br>
But that's not all. Since now the interactions between the simulators<br>
and the resource services are all formalized in interfaces<br>
(OpenSim.Services.Interfaces), and the handlers and connectors in the<br>
simulator are loaded dynamically, you can replace the connectors and<br>
handlers themselves. In other words, if you want OpenSim to talk web<br>
services, roll your own Web Services handlers and connectors under those<br>
interfaces, and you're done -- you'll have to use .NET for this part,<br>
though.<br>
