IntrFilt SIBO Business Objects


The IntrFilt Goserve filter provides an interface to communicate with SIBO Business Objects . The SIBO method provides an alternative to cgi for provision of Web server back-end processes. SIBO Objects may also be accessed through the cgi interface, using the cgi-sibi program.

A SIBO object is enabled for access through inclusion into the Object section in the globals files. An object definition consists of:

domain objectname ipaddress port encryption key;

Where:

Access to a Business Object though the Web is achieved by encoding the Object name within the URL, or specifying it in the ACTION=value on a form button.

The current implementation within IntrFilt has the following format:

Where:

The string above can be placed anywhere within a URL. If a matching files does NOT exists in the web server directory structure, a message is passed to the Business Object, and the reply is returned to the client.

Note: The available Methods are always dependant on the Business Object implementation. In the case of the Mailer SIBO Object "FormMail", the method name defines which template is to be used to create an outgoing mail message from the incoming form data. However the Object "Mail" has methods "Find", "Get" and "Destroy"; which respectively will search the mail log for matching entries, get and display a message, and remove all record of a message.
