Calling a RealWeb Subroutine

To call a RealWeb subroutine, you start your browser and enter a URL Closed with the following format:

Protocol://WebServerURL/servlet/reality/ConnectionName/SubroutineName

In a RealWeb URL, the http and https protocols are supported.
ConnectionName specifies the host and Reality database, user-id and account. Connections are set up using the RealWeb configuration utility.

For example:

http://www.foo.com/servlet/reality/persistent/HOTEL

If required by the subroutine, additional parameters can be appended, either as additional path elements or as a search string. The following example illustrates both these techniques:

http://www.foo.com/servlet/reality/hotelConnect/HOTEL/room?number=21

Displaying Reality Items

An alternative way of using RealWeb is to extract complete Reality items from the database, using the RealWeb item servlet Closed , realityis. This is used in a similar way to the reality servlet - the URL must have the following format:

WebServerURL/servlet/realityis/ConnectionName/FileName/ItemName

Items used in this way can contain anything that can be displayed in a browser: complete HTML or XML Closed Extensible Markup Language files, graphics, JavaScript Closed or VBScript Closed , etc.
