%TOC% [[StrategoNetworking][stratego-net]] is a package you can use to implement CGI based services or access a service at a certain URL using HTTP. Scenarios : * write an Tools.ATermService * access an Tools.ATermService * write an XML WebService * dynamicly generate XHTML ---++ Client-side Use stratego-net on the client-side to: * download an [[ATerm]] from an URL * apply a transformation by invoking an Tools.ATermService Both strategies are implemented in the =http-client= module. Use =http-get-term= to download an ATerm from the given URL. With =xtc-http-get= you can download any file. This strategy should be used in an XTC composition. URL("http://www.foo.com/foo.aterm") With =xtc-http-transform= you can invoke an Tools.ATermService to do some transformation. This strategy should be used with in an [[XTC]] composition. The =http-transform= operates on terms an can be used outside an XTC composition. xtc-io-wrap( xtc-http-transform(!URL("http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/calculator")) ) ---++ Server-side TODO ---++ Resources * The second part of the presentation [[http://www.students.cs.uu.nl/~mbravenb/docs/pt-xml.pdf][xml transformations and distributed services]] is devoted and introduction to services and shows some services and clients from the samples package in action. * XML-RPC [[http://www.xml-rpc.org/spec][specification]] and [[http://www.xml-rpc.org/][homepage]] ---++ Download and installation The latest distribution is available at: * [[%DIST%/stratego-net-unstable-latest/][Latest unstable release]] For tarballs configure the package with the locations of the dependencies: * =--with-aterm= * =--with-sdf= * =--with-strategoxt= * =--with-curl= The daily distributions contain the latest of the latest developments, but if you really want to, the latest sources can be checked out using:
