Design Notes

Global translators

Some portions of the WebRunner Sample use the TImportForeignDataQuery to access translators. Therefore, translator availability is determined when the program is running, not when it is compiled. If you add a new translator to the system that translates from an external file format to an expected scrap item type (such as TScrapItemOn<MGraphic> or TModelScrapItem), this program automatically uses the translator, when appropriate.

WebRunner Sample does not assume the availability of specific translators. It deals with data on the level of scrap items. If a translation exists, the framework locates it for you. Otherwise, you are responsible for handling the absence of a specific translator.
