TDataAbstractService

Overview

TDataAbstractService is the base class for the new v4.0-style servers.

You will generally use it as the base for implementing your data services with Data Abstract, either by using the service provided by the New Project templates or by defining your own services descending from the TDataAbstractService in your server's RODL.

TDataAbstractService implements all the necessary logic for providing data access and publishing data to the clients, so your service will be ready after just dropping a few components (which will already be provided by the new project templates) and fine-tuning a couple of properties; no manual code is required.

A large number of events are provided, allowing you to hook into all aspects of the data access to provide additional logic, validation, logging or other processing.

Location


 

constructor Create  override

Standard component constructor

constructor Create(aOwner: TComponent)

Parameters:

  • aOwner: Owner.

AcquireConnection    (declared in TBaseDataAbstractService)

property AcquireConnection: Boolean read write

AfterAcquireConnection    (declared in TBaseDataAbstractService)

property AfterAcquireConnection: TDAConnectionAcquiredEvent read write
delegate: procedure AfterAcquireConnection(aSender: TObject; const aConnectionName: string; const aAcquiredConnection: IDAConnection)

AfterReleaseConnection    (declared in TBaseDataAbstractService)

property AfterReleaseConnection: TDAConnectionReleasedEvent read write
delegate: procedure AfterReleaseConnection(aSender: TObject; const aConnectionName: string)

AllowAllFieldsInDynamicWhere

By security reasons, only fields that are present in table definition can be used in Dynamic Where expression.

This property allows to override default behavior and use any fields in such expressions. (Default value is False).

property AllowAllFieldsInDynamicWhere: Boolean read write

AllowCustomSqlMacros

property AllowCustomSqlMacros: Boolean read write

AllowDataAccess

Allows the clients to access schema information from the published schema (true, default) or not (false). Set this property to false if you want to prevent clients from accessing the data published by the ServiceSchema. This might be done on a per-client basis, depending on user rights, by setting the property on the OnActivate event.

property AllowDataAccess: Boolean read write

AllowDynamicOrder

property AllowDynamicOrder: Boolean read write

AllowDynamicSelect

Allows clients to use Dynamic Select feature.

property AllowDynamicSelect: Boolean read write

AllowDynamicWhere

Allows clients to use Dynamic Where feature.

property AllowDynamicWhere: Boolean read write

AllowExecuteCommands

Allows clients to execute commands that are published in the schema (true) or not (false, default). Set this property to true if you want to enable clients to manually execute commands defined in the ServiceSchema.

property AllowExecuteCommands: Boolean read write

AllowExecuteDASQL

property AllowExecuteDASQL: Boolean read write

AllowExecuteSQL

Allows clients to execute custom SQL, as command or for retrieving data published in the schema (true) or not (false, default). Since enabling this option opens a huge security risk, AllowExecuteSQL is set to false by default. If enabled, client applications can send custom SQL text to the server for execution, including code that could potentially harm or destroy the database. Even when using proper user authentication and trusting the client applications, this is a high security risk, as client applications could be modified to send malicious code, or a new client could be written by attackers.

property AllowExecuteSQL: Boolean read write

AllowRemoteEventsRegistration  protected    (declared in TRORemoteDataModule)

Obsolete, replaced by the LegacyEvents property.

function AllowRemoteEventsRegistration: Boolean

AllowSchemaAccess

Allows clients to access data from the published schema (true, default) or not (false). While access to schema information from the server is often helpful while designing the client application, most clients do not need to refresh schema information from the server at runtime. Although proper use of user authentication will restrict access, disabling this option for production servers prevents unnecessary exposure of the server's schema.

property AllowSchemaAccess: Boolean read write

AllowUpdates

Allows clients to update data.

property AllowUpdates: Boolean read write

AllowWhereSQL

Allows clients to transmit custom WHERE clauses as part of fetching data (true) or not (false, default). Since WHERE clauses are plain text base SQL, enabling this option opens a huge security risk, as malicious clients could use SQL injections to perform unexpected database operations as part of the submitted WHERE clause. Even when using proper user authentication and trusting the client applications, this is a high security risk, as client applications could be modified to send malicious code, or a new client could be written by attackers.

property AllowWhereSQL: Boolean read write

Assign  override

procedure Assign(Source: TPersistent)

Parameters:

  • Source:

AutoCreateBusinessProcessors

Specifies if the service will automatically instantiate TDABusinessProcessors to process Deltas, if needed. If set to true (default), the service will use the TDABusinessProcessors dropped on the service to perform updates, if present, but will automatically create new Business Processors if none are configured for a particular data table. If set to false, the server will only process Deltas for tables that explicitly have a business processor configured for them; if none is configured, the Delta will be rejected with an exception.

property AutoCreateBusinessProcessors: Boolean read write

ServeSchema

property ServeSchema: Boolean read write

ServiceDataStreamer

References the TDADataStreamer that will be used to stream data to and from the network. The data streamer determines the format that will be used to send data on the wire, so the type selected on the service must match the type selected for the TDARemoteDataAdapter.DataStreamer property on the client. Note that data streamers are not re-entrant, so every service instance must use its own data streamer instance. The best way to achieve this is to make sure the data streamer component is dropped into the service module itself, and not referenced from elsewhere. Also note that the data streamer assigned to the ServiceDataStreamer should be reserved for use by the service only. If you do any custom processing requiring a data streamer in your own code (such as filling server-side TDADataTables), make sure to use a second streamer instance for this, to avoid conflicts.

AcquireConnection    (declared in TBaseDataAbstractService)

property AcquireConnection: Boolean read write

AllowAllFieldsInDynamicWhere

By security reasons, only fields that are present in table definition can be used in Dynamic Where expression.

This property allows to override default behavior and use any fields in such expressions. (Default value is False).

property AllowAllFieldsInDynamicWhere: Boolean read write

AllowCustomSqlMacros

property AllowCustomSqlMacros: Boolean read write

AllowDataAccess

Allows the clients to access schema information from the published schema (true, default) or not (false). Set this property to false if you want to prevent clients from accessing the data published by the ServiceSchema. This might be done on a per-client basis, depending on user rights, by setting the property on the OnActivate event.

property AllowDataAccess: Boolean read write

AllowDynamicOrder

property AllowDynamicOrder: Boolean read write

AllowDynamicSelect

Allows clients to use Dynamic Select feature.

property AllowDynamicSelect: Boolean read write

AllowDynamicWhere

Allows clients to use Dynamic Where feature.

property AllowDynamicWhere: Boolean read write

AllowExecuteCommands

Allows clients to execute commands that are published in the schema (true) or not (false, default). Set this property to true if you want to enable clients to manually execute commands defined in the ServiceSchema.

property AllowExecuteCommands: Boolean read write

AllowExecuteDASQL

property AllowExecuteDASQL: Boolean read write

AllowExecuteSQL

Allows clients to execute custom SQL, as command or for retrieving data published in the schema (true) or not (false, default). Since enabling this option opens a huge security risk, AllowExecuteSQL is set to false by default. If enabled, client applications can send custom SQL text to the server for execution, including code that could potentially harm or destroy the database. Even when using proper user authentication and trusting the client applications, this is a high security risk, as client applications could be modified to send malicious code, or a new client could be written by attackers.

property AllowExecuteSQL: Boolean read write

AllowSchemaAccess

Allows clients to access data from the published schema (true, default) or not (false). While access to schema information from the server is often helpful while designing the client application, most clients do not need to refresh schema information from the server at runtime. Although proper use of user authentication will restrict access, disabling this option for production servers prevents unnecessary exposure of the server's schema.

property AllowSchemaAccess: Boolean read write

AllowUpdates

Allows clients to update data.

property AllowUpdates: Boolean read write

AllowWhereSQL

Allows clients to transmit custom WHERE clauses as part of fetching data (true) or not (false, default). Since WHERE clauses are plain text base SQL, enabling this option opens a huge security risk, as malicious clients could use SQL injections to perform unexpected database operations as part of the submitted WHERE clause. Even when using proper user authentication and trusting the client applications, this is a high security risk, as client applications could be modified to send malicious code, or a new client could be written by attackers.

property AllowWhereSQL: Boolean read write

AutoCreateBusinessProcessors

Specifies if the service will automatically instantiate TDABusinessProcessors to process Deltas, if needed. If set to true (default), the service will use the TDABusinessProcessors dropped on the service to perform updates, if present, but will automatically create new Business Processors if none are configured for a particular data table. If set to false, the server will only process Deltas for tables that explicitly have a business processor configured for them; if none is configured, the Delta will be rejected with an exception.

property AutoCreateBusinessProcessors: Boolean read write

ClientID    (declared in TRORemoteDataModule)

The unique identifier for the client connected to the service. It is equal to the session ID if the session already exists. When the service method is called, this property is already initialized with a proper value. Do not change it unless you know what you are doing!

property ClientID: TGUID read write

Connection    (declared in TBaseDataAbstractService)

property Connection: IDAConnection read write

ConnectionName    (declared in TBaseDataAbstractService)

property ConnectionName: string read write

DASQLProcessor

property DASQLProcessor: TDASQLProcessor read write

EventRepository    (declared in TRORemoteDataModule)

Points to the event repository (TROEventRepository instance) for the service. The value must be set to use the events feature.

property EventRepository: TROEventRepository read write

ExportedDataTables

Maintains a list of server-side TDADataTables that will be published by the server, alongside the data tables defined in the schema. This allows the service to publish data that does not necessarily come from the back-end database targeted by the schema and connection, but also from other sources. For example, the TDADataTables could be filled from a different database, loaded from a file on disk, or manually filled from code. For the client application, these tables will look like any other data table published by the server.

property ExportedDataTables: TDADataTableReferenceCollection read write

HETConnection  protected    (declared in TBaseDataAbstractService)

property HETConnection: IDAHETConnection read

LegacyEvents    (declared in TRORemoteDataModule)

Enables or disables the legacy events mode for the service. The default value is true. The legacy mode is less secure and it is recommended to set this property to false for new projects. Note that refusing to use the legacy mode will break compatibility with legacy Delphi clients.

property LegacyEvents: Boolean read write

NewSession    (declared in TRORemoteDataModule)

Indicates that the client's session was just created, i.e. this indicates the first connection of a so far unknown client.

property NewSession: Boolean read

ProcessDeltasWithoutUpdateRules

Manages whether the service will process Deltas for which no update rules have been defined (true) or not (false). If set to true (default), the service will process all delta packets it receives. If set to false, it will only process those deltas for which an update rule has been defined. Please refer to the Update Rules help topic for more details on update rules.

property ProcessDeltasWithoutUpdateRules: Boolean read write

RefCount    (declared in TRORemoteDataModule)

Reference counter - this class is the interfaced object.

property RefCount: Integer read

RequiresSession    (declared in TRORemoteDataModule)

This property should be set to true (perhaps with the designer) to make the service protected and to disallow unauthenticated clients to call its methods. Read more.

property RequiresSession: Boolean read write

ReturnFullSchema

Allows to return full schema including content of statements. by default is False. We recommend to not change this value by security reasons.

property ReturnFullSchema: Boolean read write

ReturnUpdateFailureDelta

Part of Reconcile Dialog feature. Allows to return of failed changes to client via setting RaiseExceptionAtError for all autogenerated TDABusinessProcessor. by default is True.

Can be used for applying changes for several tables in one transaction with False value.

See also TDABusinessProcessor.RaiseExceptionAtError

property ReturnUpdateFailureDelta: Boolean read write

ScriptProvider

Specifies Business Rules Scripting provider.

property ScriptProvider: IDAScriptProvider read write

ServeSchema

property ServeSchema: Boolean read write

ServiceDataStreamer

References the TDADataStreamer that will be used to stream data to and from the network. The data streamer determines the format that will be used to send data on the wire, so the type selected on the service must match the type selected for the TDARemoteDataAdapter.DataStreamer property on the client. Note that data streamers are not re-entrant, so every service instance must use its own data streamer instance. The best way to achieve this is to make sure the data streamer component is dropped into the service module itself, and not referenced from elsewhere. Also note that the data streamer assigned to the ServiceDataStreamer should be reserved for use by the service only. If you do any custom processing requiring a data streamer in your own code (such as filling server-side TDADataTables), make sure to use a second streamer instance for this, to avoid conflicts.

property ServiceDataStreamer: TDADataStreamer read write

ServiceSchema    (declared in TBaseDataAbstractService)

property ServiceSchema: TDASchema read write
