If you don't change any properties on the actual wwServer instance (ie. yourAppServer class derived from wwServer) and add any properties to the oResources object or dynamically to yourAppServer direct (using AddProperty) then there should be no re-registration required.
Options are (where THIS is your wwServer instance):
* this.oResources.AddProperty("NewProperty","value") && this.oResources.NewProperty
* AddProperty(oResources,"NewProperty",value) && this.oResources.NewProperty
* this.oResources.Add("Key","Value") && this.oResources.Item("Key")
* AddProperty(THIS,"NewProperty","value") && this.NewProperty
If you use any of these your COM server does not change and no re-registration should be necessary.

Dear Rick,
in your last "Global Values in Web Connection" web log you said:
"Using wwServer instance properties works and reasonably clean, but if you are running in COM mode, anytime you add a property to your class the ClassIds change for your COM server. This means you have to re-register your COM object on the server, which is a bit of a pain."
So I updated Web Connection to 5.62 version, then moved custom properties in oResources object:
DEFINE CLASS MyAppServer AS WWC_SERVER OLEPUBLIC ... PROTECTED FUNCTION OnLoad ... WITH this.oResources .AddProperty("cProperty1") .AddProperty("cProperty2") .AddProperty("cProperty3") .AddProperty("cProperty4") ENDWITH ENDFUNC * OnLoad
So if I add some new property, do I modify the MyAppServer class in MyAppMain.prg file and do I have to re-register my COM object on the server? Is this setting correct?
Also, at the end of same MyAppMain.prg file I initialize settings which must be read from INI file:
DEFINE CLASS BackofficeProcessConfig as wwConfig cHTMLPagePath = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Backoffice\" cDATAPath = "" cVirtualPath = "/Backoffice/" cSetting1="" cSetting2="" cSetting3="" ENDDEFINE
So if I add some new setting in INI file, do I modify the MyAppServer class in MyAppMain.prg file and do I have to re-register my COM object on the server? Is this setting correct?
Thank you very much
