Hola Edgar, acabo de ver su proyecto en SourceForge y fue actualizado hace como año y medio, lo que quiere decir que sigue con vida, lo que es bastante bueno para un proyecto personal.

Quisiera pedirle más información.

Hasta pronto.

Hola tambien, lamentablemente mi Espanol no es suficiente bueno para preguntar sobre Progress, asi que...

I just skimmed your site quickly, but this caught my eye:

"this version doesn't require Sonic MQ or the AppServer to run properly"

So how do you execute ABL? I am guessing, you have a Progress batch client listening on a port? If so, do you allow for multiple agents and name servers and all that kind of thing?

I have been thinking about writing my own SOAP marshaller on top of the AppServer for 2 main reasons: (1) I want to be able to transform all the names that appear to users, eg. we might call a field 'foo' but I want users to see it as 'Foo'; (2) I want to be able to hide fields, eg. our .P exposes fields 'foo, bar' but I only want users to see 'bar'.

Lo no voy a hacer nunca, pero me gusta pensar

Sorry I wrote in spanish, I was addressing to Edgar, who is from Mexico, but here everybody writes in english, so I should have to.

I guess we all have ideas that never will be able to do.

(as you see, my english is like your spanish: Not the best, but good enough)

So how do you execute ABL?

May 3, 2006 was the OP's only post and last login. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for an answer...
