Hosted Content Overview

AlchemyPoint utilizes Hosted Content Objects to simplify accessing content within protocol Bindings. These objects provide a simple way of accessing content regardless of its type (static or dynamically generated) or location (on disk, in memory, or in a database).

The Hosted Content framework allows for a variety of options that control data typing, delivery / streaming, and other functionality.

Supported Hosted Content Objects

Disk:

• HostedDiskFile - Mapped file content on the local host filesystem, or a network-mounted share drive.

Memory:

• HostedMemoryFile - Mapped file content stored in system memory (RAM).

Dynamic:

• HostedEmbedContent - Mapped dynamic content (a chart, RSS / ATOM feed, etc.) inside a Hosted Content object.

• HostedMultiEmbedContent - A multi-container of mapped dynamic content (a chart, RSS / ATOM feed, etc.), with individual content records accessible via a unique lookup / storage key.

Supported Dynamic Content Types

Charts:

• EmbeddedBarChart - Dynamically generated graphical 2D / 3D bar chart.

• EmbeddedLineChart? - Dynamically generated graphical 2D / 3D line chart.

• EmbeddedAreaChart? - Dynamically generated graphical 2D / 3D area chart.

• EmbeddedPieChart? - Dynamically generated graphical 2D / 3D pie chart.

RSS / ATOM Feeds:

• EmbeddedFeed - Dynamically generated RSS / ATOM feed.

System Objects:

• EmbeddedQueryTasks - Dynamic container for user-defined ConstraintCommand? actions and queries. This is an internal System Object not normally utilized by AlchemyPoint users.

• EmbeddedSystemController - Dynamic container for accessing internal AlchemyPoint Server functionality (start, stop, status, etc.). This is an internal System Object not normally utilized by AlchemyPoint users.
