ATL Server
ATL Server is a technology for developing web based applications. It uses a tag replacement engine written in C++ to render web pages. It draws on the existing technologies like ISAPI and the Active Template Library. It includes a template library which is dedicated for use with developing Web-based applications. ATL Server first appeared with Visual Studio .NET 2003.
A typical ATL server application consists of at least one ISAPI extension DLL along with one or a number of Server Response Files (.srf) and their associated application DLL files which provide the application functionality.
SRF Files
SRF files can contain a mix of HTML and script tags. SRF script tags are denoted by the {{ opening and }} closing braces.
A single SRF file may call code from a number of application DLLs. Similarly, a single application DLL may serve a number of SRF files.
The simplest SRF file must contain a one or more references to application DLLs and one or more calls to a functions within those DLLs. A simple SRF file would look something like this:
{{handler ATLServerHelloWorld.dll/Default}}
<html>
<body>
{{HelloWorld}}
</body>
</html>
The first line of the file:
{{handler ATLServerHelloWorld.dll/Default}}
is used to identify an application DLL file that the SRF file will make calls to.
Within the file, function calls would look like this:
{{HelloWorld}}
