Infrastructure Guide

Following is a list of pages documenting the Virtual World Web infrastructure. Programming guides, API documentation, scripting documentation and more.

API Documentation

Server API - Documents the VWW.CoreLibs.ServerAPI library used to write service provider components. This is the foundation of Virtual World Web server extensibility.

• Layer One API - The main set of interfaces used by components (Layer Two) to control the VWW server core software (Layer One)
• Layer One Exports - Interfaces for various Layer One run-time objects. Some informational, some allow considerable control of connections, avatars, views, etc.
• Layer Two Events - The main set of interfaces that, when implementd by a component (Layer Two) will be called by the VWW server core software (Layer One) in response to various events.
• Layer Two Event Handler Stubs - A set of stubbed implementations of the Layer Two Events interfaces as virtual methods to make overriding and implementing single events much friendlier.
• UI Script Handlers - Some types to help implement UI script system handlers.
