PackageDescription: Seaside-Swazoo(Bundle)


Seaside - Swazoo

Last published: October 30, 2007 by 'mbany'

This parcel/bundle provides a VisualWorks port and basic integration of the "Seaside" continuation-based web application development framework. Note that Seaside and this port are not a supported part of Cincom Smalltalk. For more information on Seaside see http://www.beta4.com/seaside2/

This port relies on the VisualWorks Swazoo, and creates a SeasideResource which handles all seaside requests and delegates them to the Seaside framework. The port was done primarily by Michel Bany, mbany@cincom.com.

The GIF support and some of the cookie support were borrowed from VisualWave.
