Old Borland Chess WebService help please.

I'm looking for a viable link to the 'old' borland chess server so i can connect my chessboard client? Also, i do have the client chessboard, the chessCGIserver and the chessbook (intelligence) - i would like to know how to setup the web server.

Note: Old WSDL (chessWebService) link was first: http://wwwapp1.borland.com/webchess/ChessCGIServer.exe/wsdl/IBorlandChess then : http://www.danmarinescu.com/WebServices/ChessCGIServer.exe/wsdl/IBorlandChess

You will find this text at Dr Bob's web site about this borland chess soap service (given links are now dead):

2002/01/24 - The Chess WebService is Back! The Chess WebService IBorlandChess, implemented by Borland Software Engineer Dan Marinescu, is back in the new domain www.danmarinescu.com and listed on xmethods. The Chess WebService implements an extremely scalable SOAP interface to a fully featured, high performance (competition level) Chess Engine, which is completely stateless.

The Chess WebService is currently written in Delphi 6. Soon, we will have the very same WebService written in Kylix 2 & C++Builder 6 - very soon!.

Dr.Bob says... I've check out the source code for the client and server, and played a few games with the client binary, and am (again) very impressed by this amazing WebService. Well done! 2002/01/24 - The Chess WebService is Back!

As far as i know, Dan Marinescu was the last 'owner' of the service.

I have all the sources in hand, i have ported them to Delphi 2009. I miss the information about how to setup the webservice / soap on my server. Any one can help?

Hello - Server side is made of a delphi exe cgiserver, a dll and a xml file containing connection scripts (wsdl). The server has connection strings to be fixed. Something like:defWSDL='http://localhost:8080/Chess/IBorlandChess.wsdl'defURL='http://localhost:8080/Chess/ChessCGIServer/IBorlandChess';defSvc='IBorlandChessservice'defPrt='IBorlandChessPort'Client side (the chessboard) has connection to the wsdl file, something like:WSDLLocation='http://localhost:8080/chess/ChessCGIServer.exe/wsdl/IBorlandChess';

I would suggest to port that "CGI-standalone-WSDL" version to a more modern Delphi "integrated" ISAPI-based SOAP solution.You can email the sources zipped to olaf (at) monien (dot) net
