Stable Version of IW 9

[Farshad]

Hello,

I'm currently using 9.0.32 to add Ajax support to one of my existing
projects which was developed with Delphi 2006 IW 8.0. I've deployed it to
one customer with a Vista machine. I'm currently experiencing weird
problems.

One problem is that user sessions are mismatched among different browser
windows. i.e. on same machine if I open multiple tabs in ie and try to load
multiple IW sessions in a certain point some sessions start to show other
sessions' contents. I've never experienced this in IW 8.0. It may have
something with internal session tracking I don't know. Other problem is that
My ISAPI dll stops responding randomly!

My main question is that which version of IW 9 is fully stable?
I don't need AJAX support so I can stop using async events, all I want is a
working stable version of IW which works with no problem at all (excluding
AJAX). Should I go back to 9.0.16? Or is IW 8.0 the correct answer?

Regards,
Farshad

Update: I can reproduce the session problem only on Vista!
My original question still remains. Which version of IW 9 is OK for use in
production?

Thanks

Farshad,

In my experience most versions past about v9.0.32 are quite good, including the Ajax
support. The latest version is v9.0.39 with an pending update of v40 due out any day.

And BTW, Ajax correctly used can produce some very desirable results.

HTH,

Thanks. My options are 9.0.16, 9.0.32 or 8.22. I have to choose among them.
All I can say is that 8.0.22 was stable. Not sure about 9.0.xx!

Ok. Sorry I did not read bob's post before writing this.

.32 is pretty good. I used it in production with no problems.
I am not sure why it is not working on vista. If you are using
compression then someone posted that they had to copy the zlib from an XP
box to get it to work. For some reason the zlib in vista was not working
properly.
I hope this helps

Thanks for the post. Good to hear that you use .32 in production.
I'm not sure if I'm using compression. I use the default settings in IW.
Again, I'll be deploying only to XP until I find the source of problem in
Vista.

Hi Farshad,

Update: I can reproduce the session problem only on Vista!

As I will describe in my upcoming IntraWeb manual, there are a number of
funny issues that can happen in Vista, not just IntraWeb related. I
would recommend not deploying on Vista ;-)

I'm using 9.0.39, which has a few minor problems but no stability issues
(other than problems with HTML compression on Vista)

I only have access to 9.0.16 and 9.0.32. I'm going to do a stress test on a
XP machine to see if 9.0.32 is stable or not!

Thanks

I wasn't talking much about Delphi, but more about things like IIS7, the
zlib.dll (tried HTML Compression on Vista?), etc.

FYI, I'm not using IIS. I have a custom ISAPI loader which loads IW
generated ISAPI dlls.
