Add advanced cross-platform remoting to your applications. RemObjects SDK for Delphi is an advanced remoting framework for which allows you to remotely access objects residing on a server from clients inside a LAN or across the Internet. RemObjects SDK for Delphi will allow you to build client and server applications that easily and efficiently communicate with each other over any network using highly optimized Smart Services for performance or standard Web Services for cross-platform compatibility. RemObjects SDK for Delphi enables you to build fully managed multi-tier servers and clients for the Delphi, .NET and Mono platforms.

RemObjects SDK for Delphi is a fully managed library that enables you to build fully managed multi-tier servers and clients for the Delphi / FPC , .NET and Mono platforms. RemObjects SDK allows you to remotely access objects residing on a server from clients inside the LAN or across the Internet.

Cross-Platform

One of the main premises of the RemObjects SDK is its full wire-compatibility between the available editions. This allows you to easily combine servers and clients from different platforms - for example a .NET Compact Framework client can connect to a Delphi Server or a Kylix/Linux client can connect to a .NET or Mono Server.

True RAD Service Modeling

All editions of the RemObjects SDK include Service Builder, the RAD service-modeling tool that allows you to easily define the interface for your services, using the efficient and cross-platform RemObjects Definition Language (RODL). Service Builder's plug-in architecture allows you to create custom extensions or plug-in support for additional languages and platforms.

What's New in RemObects Data Abstract 7 and RemObjects SDK 7

All New Schema Modeler 7 - Built from the ground up in modern technologies it provides a more intuitive and easier-to-use interface for designing and testing schemas, and many enhancements and new features, such as better access to Business Rules Scripts and full-blown server-side Relativity Schema Modeling.

URL Schemes - Consistent support for URL Schemes across all channel and message types. RemObjects SDK channels and Remote Services, as well as Data Abstract Remote Data Adapters, can now be initialized using a URL string and will automatically pick the right channel type (be it HTTP(S), TCP or the Super channels) and message types, as needed. This helps make client configurations simpler, including the option to easily let the user switch channels and messages simply by adjusting the URL.

New and Improved DA LINQ IDE Integration - Vast improvements have been made to the workflow for creating and updating DA LINQ strongly typed classes in Visual Studio

Visual Studio 2012 and Metro support - Full Visual Studio 2012 RTM support and the ability to create WinRT (also known as Metro, or "Windows Store") client applications for Windows 8 and ARM-based Windows RT devices. This includes updated WinRT libraries, as well as a Project Wizard and templates for WinRT.

Improvements to Data Abstract for Xcode - New properties and delegate callbacks on the Remote Data Adapter significantly help with user authentication. Enhancements to the logic for applying updates now let the client application continue to make further changes to a table, even while other changes are still being asynchronously applied to the server.

Significant performance and memory load improvements - Madel across the DA library and the underlying RemObjects SDK, leading to particular gains on iOS and when dealing with relatively large messages and binary fields (such as those transferred in DA data requests)

Full support for Delphi XE3 - Among many other improvements and fixes, both Data Abstract and RemObjects SDK for Delphi gain full support for the all new Delphi XE3 and FireMonkey 2.

JavaScript Client Library Improvements - The DataTable implementation has been thoroughly streamlined, and large parts of the library have undergone internal refactoring and cleanup.

Speed and Reliability Improvements in RemObjects SDK for .NET and Xcode

Enhancements in RemObjects SDK have mostly been under the hood, with a lot of continuing effort having gone into code streamlining and improvements to message processing speed and memory footprint. This is bearing fruit in much lower overall memory consumption in .NET clients and servers, as well as Mac and iOS apps.

Extensive improvements have also been made to the Super Channels on both .NET and Xcode, to provide even better reliability and improved recovery in cases of connection loss. On the Xcode side, the SuperHTTP channel has also gained the ability to detect the system going to sleep with an active connection (Mac), and there shave been general improvements to backgrounding support (iOS).

Cryptography changes in RemObjects SDK for Xcode

Cryptography support in RO/Xcode has also been fully ported from OpenSSH (which has been deprecated on OS X and had to be included as part of the RO static library for iOS) to use Apple's native Common Crypto framework, meaning that the RO/DA libraries no longer contain any direct cryptography code themselves anymore.

The HTTP channels also have been improved with new delegate callbacks to better handle HTTPS connections to servers with self-signed certificates in a secure fashion. (This is the first step in an ongoing effort to enhance SSL support across all platforms.)

What's new in RemObjects SDK 6.0?

ROZeroConf: a thorough new infrastructure for service publication and discovery. ZeroConf makes it easier than ever to discover available services on the network, and to deploy clients that can run and locate the servers they need to with, literally, no configuration.

Olympia: a new deployable server application that replaces the aging MasterServer and allows to build server farms, where session state and event data from several servers can be stored and maintained in a single location.

RemObjects SDK 6.0 other new features

Include a new "ServerBaseForm" class to be used in writing WinForms based servers and a new Super HTTP Channel for Silverlight clients.

All .NET products have also been expanded with experimental support for the new Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1, and all SKUs have undergone a thorough visual refresh.
