FetchParams and Stateless server

[nicofari]

I have a three tier app. Isapi dll + Midas
DCom app-server.
In the appserver I have several DOA OracleDataset. For each of these I have an open
method which receives the parameters and open
the dataset.
In the client there is a ClientDataset connected
by a provider to the corresponding OracleDataset.
Now I am confused about the use of TClientDataset.FetchParams.
In newsgroups and documentation I read several
advices to don't use this method since it
makes the appserver stateful and others
saying that this is not true for input
parameters....
In my case all parameters are of INPUT type.
Which is the truth?
Thanks in advance very much for any help!
Bye
Nicola

I am using DOA in a SOAP environment and I do use the parameter transfer method. Not sure how you are using this mechanism but it surely works fine, assuming that you are using D7. I have bad experiences with D6 in which it seems that it is not implemented properly.
