What's new 8.0.3 states "Added OESOCKETSERVER_EXAMPLE with source to demonstrate use of socket functions. This example shows how to execute requests against a socket server, a step toward client-server applications."
Excellent - so what more can you share in respect of client-server applications. I'm keen to find a way to execute server-side SELECTs (sanctioned by Revelation).
Whitepaper, examples, on their way ??
Thank you

Don Bakke gave an excellent presentation on this topic for the SoCalRUG earlier this year. I expect this to be a hot topic at the next User Conference so white papers may not be forthcoming until after the conference.
SRP has an excellent white paper Multi-tasking with Multi-Engines which is easily adapted to using the OE socket server.

Martin,
As Warren noted, we are already doing "client/server" type operations using OpenInsight and Remote Engine technology. The "how to" of this is covered in the white paper Warren linked you to. You might find this a bit easier to implement than the Socket Server. If you are at all interested, my PowerPoint file used in the SoCalRUG demonstration is also available here:
Using OpenEngine as an Online Service
This isn't a very technical document nor is it very illustrative since the presentation was primarily a working demo. However, it might spark some ideas for you.
At an upcoming SoCalRUG we plan to revisit this subject with the Socket Server. We have already swapped out some of our Remote Engine services with the Socket Server. Conceptually they are very similar. However, the Socket Server is more scalable and handles multiple requests much better. No doubt we will introduce a new white paper for the SoCalRUG meeting.
We opted not to do this presentation for the next conference and I am not sure if anybody plans to. However, as Warren suggested, this would be a nice topic for someone to cover.
