webServer.start( )

Description

The webServer.start( ) method starts the Web server on which it is applied, using properties set in the optional settings object parameter.

The Web server starts with default settings defined in the settings file of the database or (host database only) using the WEB SET OPTION command. However, using the settings parameter, you can define customized settings for the Web server session. For a description of the settings, see the Returned object of the WEB Server command or the Web server properties page (some properties cannot be defined in the settings object).
Customized session settings will be reset when the webServer.stop( ) method is called.

Returned object

The method returns an object describing the Web server launch status. This object can contain the following properties:

Property		Type	Description
success		Boolean	True if the Web server was correctly started, False otherwise
errors		Collection	Error stack (not returned if the Web server started successfully)
	[ ].errCode	Number	Error code
	[ ].message	Text	Description of the error
	[ ].componentSignature	Text	Internal component signature

Note: If the Web server was already launched, an error is returned.

Example

 C_OBJECT($settings;$webServer;$result)

 $settings:=New object("HTTPPort";8080;"defaultHomepage";"myAdminHomepage.html")

 

 $webServer:=WEB Server

 $result:=$webServer.start($settings)

 If($result.success)
