WEBDEV Concepts

22 Part 1: Internet: Basic concepts How to share information (values) between Active WEBDEV Pages? There are two methods to share information (values) between Active WEBDEV Pages: • Passing information in the URL. This method allows for better SEO. • Saving information in AWP contexts (programmatically). Passing information (values) between two pages in the URL It is possible to pass information from one page to another via the URL. The URL has the following format: "http:\\Web server\...\mypage.awp?NameParam1=Value1& NameParam2=Value2". This method allows a better page SEO because the information passed in the URL is visible and analyzed by the SEO robots. Saving information (values) in AWP contexts (programmatically) . You have the ability to store on the server values common to several ActiveWEBDEV Pages, via the AWP contexts . An AWP context is created on disk on the server. This context is available as long as Active WEBDEV Pages are displayed and as long as the timeout of AWP contexts is not exceeded. The timeout of AWP contexts can be defined in the WEBDEV administrator ("Configuration" tab, "Duration of AWP contexts" option). To manage AWP contexts, you must use WLanguage functions such as DeclareAWPContext , FreeAWPContext , etc. For more details, see the online help.
