FirstSample

Purpose

This sample provides an introduction to using the Delphi edition of the RemObjects SDK product. The example shows how to define/implement methods on the server and how to access them from the client. The data consists of name information and four simple methods are provided by the service: Nicknames, VerifyName, CheckName and FullNames.

Getting Started

• Build or compile both projects.
• Launch the server (via the menu option: RemObjects | Launch Server Executable).
• Ensure that FirstSampleClient is the selected project and run it.
• Check that the client buttons work as expected.
• Modify the server names list and retry client actions.

Examine the Code

• See how the four methods were defined by editing the service library. Do this by making the server the selected project and by using the menu option: RemObjects | Edit Service Library. Note: if you don't see this menu option but see 'Service Builder' instead, you still have the client set as the current project. Examine the methods added to FirstSampleService.
• Check how the server methods were implemented in FirstSampleService_Impl.pas.
• Examine the simple code needed to invoke the methods in FirstSampleClientMain.pas.
