13.14 COM on UNIX

Chili!Soft ASP uses an implementation of COM for Unix called MainWin, from MainSoft Corporation. A run-time version of MainWin is installed with Chili!Soft ASP. In order to develop C++ COM components for use with Chili!Soft ASP, you need to obtain the MainSoft COM development tools, available from Chili!Soft. If you are developing your components in Java, you do not need the MainSoft tools and can use Chili!Beans instead.
 
If you plan on building or porting custom components that use the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), you will need to have the MFC elements of the MainWin COM environment installed. These can be installed with the MainWin COM development tools.
 

Note:

The use of MFC requires an X server to be configured and running. If you answered Yes to the use of MFC during Chili!Soft ASP installation, a simple X server was installed for you. If you need further assistance, contact Chili!Soft.

COM on Unix provides an implementation of the Windows Registry. There are two utilities available for working with the Registry, one for editing the Registry and one for registering COM components.
