texte = Hey everyone. I'm responsible for testing out a catalog site my company has developed with Web Catalog. I've run into a couple of questions and concerns. First of all, it seems that WebCatalog has a limitation on the number of items that can be placed in a cart. I've found this limit to be 100 items. Is this correct or configurable? Second, when I attempted to place an order of those 100 items, WebCatalog appeared to die, similiar to what I experienced when I tried to process a >1 meg file through WebCatalog, as I posted several weeks ago. The second one is a serious issue. I realize it is unlikely that anyone will want/need to order that many items at a time. However, it could theorertically be possible to use that weakness to crash the server. Jeff Weston Pop Art LLC Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
