Re: [xmljs-users] Setting up Perl Proxy

[David J. <dj...@ya...>]

Hi Dave,

The contact manager app should just run with the local XML embedded inside the web page. You
shouldn't need the perl proxy at all for that. The only time the proxies come into play is if you
are needing to source your data from a domain outside of the one your web pages originate from. If
that's the case, you might want to take a look at the proxy test suite. It gives a good example of
how you use the proxies from javascript to get your XML. After that, everything is the same.

If you do end up needing the perl proxy to source your data, the resource URLs are just an ordered
list of the URLs that are the source for your data. For example

$resourceURLs[0] = "http://other.domain.xml/getxml.pl" or something like that. In your javascript,
you would reference this URL by it's position in the array (in this case 0). 

All that being said however, most people don't need to use the proxies. In the vast majority of
cases, the XML they need can be embedded in the page in something like an embedded text area. This
technique is described in
http://xmljs.sourceforge.net/website/documentation-faq.html#faqhowdoigetxmltobrowser

Hopefully, that will get you going. If not, please post again and I'll try to help. I'm actually
going to be only sporatically available during the next week or so (I'm in Brazil on business) but
I'll do the best I can to help out.

Best regards,

David
