And the other question is: what is a best way to pass data from static resource to WApplication.

I thought about 2 ways:

1) Emit signal from WResource::handleRequest() and somehow connect it with WApplication;

2) Use WServer::post from WResource::handleRequest() for post data to same session.

Trying to process http requests like this:

Wt::WServer server(argv[0]);
WebAppResource resource;
server.setServerConfiguration(argc, argv, WTHTTP_CONFIGURATION);
server.addEntryPoint(Wt::Application, createApplication);
server.addResource(&resource, "/service");
server.start()

and:

void WebAppResource::handleRequest(const Request& request, Response& response)

{

MyWebApplication* app = dynamic_cast<MyWebApplication*>(WApplication::instance());

WServer* server = WServer::instance();

if (app && server)

{

server~~post(app~~>sessionId(), boost::bind(&MyWebApplication::processHttp, app,

WString(request.queryString())));

}

}

but when 'handleRequest' is called WApplication::instance() always returns null-pointer although it allready created, so I can't post event. What should i do?

Hey,

a static resource is not linked to a WApplication, and thus WApplication::instance() is null by definition. Also, handleRequest() expects a response so you need to provide one by the time the function exits (or create a continuation otherwise).

What do you really want to do? Perhaps you want to set a cookie from the WApplication which you then check in the resource request which identifies the application context in which the request is to be handled?

What's the use-case? Why not use a normal dynamic WResource() within the application context?

Thanks for your answer I find another way to solve my problem.
