Don't apologize for asking questions - I'm happy to help. You definitely
need the OEM to add ASP capabalities to your device. When they rebuild your
ROM, the Windows CE Build System will automatically detect all the
underlying features that ASP needs that the web server doesn't (like COM)
and bring them in. You need to let your OEM know whether you want JScript,
VBScript, or both. ASP doesn't bring either of these in automatically in
the build system, but you need at least one to be able to do anything. I'd
recommend only JScript and no VBscript.
The Web Server as provided by Microsoft does not have server-side Java
capabilities. It's possible that a 3rd party has added this support, though
I've never heard anyone ask for this and for most peolpe ASP is good enough.
I'm at a total loss for why you need a 'services load' to start the web
server rather than it just working on bootup. Do you have a debug copy of
the image, or could you get your OEM to at least give you a debug version of
httpd.dll and services.exe? If you could turn on full debugzones for these
components on bootup and give me what comes up on your PB Debug screen I'd
have much better luck understanding this.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcepb40/html/_wcepb_Registering_Debug_Zones.asp
has info about setting default debugzones for components, which you'd need
since services.exe is started so soon on bootup you wouldn't have time to
change it manually. In particular I think you want, on your XP (not CE)
registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Pegasus\Zones
Httpd.dll = dword:0xffff
services.exe = dword:0xffff
