XML and Server Scriptlets

A Server Scriptlet

.sct

file contains three main tags. These tags are the following:

<Scriptlet>
<Registration>
<Implements>

Registration

and Implements
include some other more specific tags, while Scriptlet
plays the same role as the <HTML>
for HTML documents—namely it is the main wrapper that encompasses all the information. In addition, we have a well-known <SCRIPT>
tag that—as expected—contains the script code to be executed.

The

<scriptlet>

tag denotes the beginning and the end of a SCT document and doesn't support any additional attributes. Everything included between the <scriptlet>
and </scriptlet>
tags is part of the Server Scriptlet document. A Server Scriptlet can rely on three categories of information:

Registration information such as ProgID
, CLSID
, Version
Implemented interfaces
Script code written in a variety of script languages

Let's see them in detail.
