MM's business objects can be used within WebConnect, either via compiling them as COM objects or by "merging" a MM's project w/a WC project (so you can call the MM's objects directly, as opposed to adding a COM layer between them). There isn't any mechanism to directly convert a fat-client MM's app. to work with a WC backend. You would have to code something like this yourself. I have a MM's app that does something like this right now - the MM's app. feeds data to a WC server, which shares data with another MM's app.

MM's business objects can serve data up in VFP, ADO, HTML, and XML formats, so you can very easily pass this info back to a web client. For example, in your wwProcess subclass, you could have a method that might look like:

FUNCTION SendXMLSample()

* Create an instance of our Mere Mortals business object.
* In this example, I'm using a MM's bizobj via COM.

loBizObj = CreateObject("MyApp.MyBizObj")

* Set the output format to XML
* XML is actually the default format, but this 
* is just a sample.

loBizObj.iDataFormat = 3

* Requery the main alias, and retrieve the result in XML format

loBizObj.Requery()
lcXML = loBizObj.GetDataX()

* Send the result back to the web client

Response.Write(lcXML)

RETURN
