TrsWebTier.GenerateContent: No content provider for request

edited December 2003 in Server
I am using a Web Broker client that is very similar to the example provided
as the Custom Parameters demo. I am able to successfully login to my
RBServer, but I then get the following message:

TrsWebTier.GenerateContent: No content provider for request

I can connect successfully using a windows client. It lets me browse
folders and run reports. What exactly constitutes a content provider? Isn't
my WebTier the content provider, or is the content provider the
TrsReportExplorerVolume on my Server's DataModule?

Any ideas of where this is breaking?

Thanks!

    Tech Tip: WebTier Content Providers
    ---------------------------------------------


    The WebTier architecture dispatches WebRequests to appropriate
    ContentProviders. ContentProviders are responsible for processing a request
    and generating a response.

    Requests sent from a web browser to the webtier must include a content
    parameter. For example:

    content=Viewer


    In your WebTier application you can check this by checking
    TrsWebRequest.ContentType (or by checking
    TrsWebRequest.ContentParameters['content']). Either syntax checks the same
    parameter.


    RB Server ContentProviders
    ---------------------------

    Viewer - web report previewer
    Explorer - web report explorer
    SearchForm - web autosearch form
    Soap - web proxy for Thin Client applications using HTTP
    PDF - PDF report provider for Waler or Pragnaan, if registered
