A lot of work has recently been done in expanding and revising libexec
(TGI) support in Bayonne. With 0.5, most of that work will very shortly
be completed.
The most important change is that it will be possible to write complete
applications that run under Bayonne entirely as a libexec and so can be
entirely written in perl, python, c# pnet, or Java. Libexec
applications will be able to process user input, sequencing and play
multilingual audio prompts through phrasebook, and many other things
that normally were only possible to do from ccscript in the past.
The new transactional libexec system also has been changed so that it no
longer depends on process signals. This will make it both easier to
support and to port to other platforms. In particular, it should be
possible to port the new libexec model to w32. To better support
libexec programming, I intend soon to make modules available for perl,
python, c# (pnet), php, and Java for Bayonne 2. Libbayonne will include
a library class which can also be used to write libexec apps in C++.
In fact, I will be supporting three programming models from Bayonne in
the future. The first is Bayonne scripting, and this will be available
from the Bayonne server of course. The second model is libexec, and
while libexec can be used from Bayonne when called by scripts, an
alternate launcher will also be offered that can build routing and
launch libexec programs directly from a simple config file. The third
model will be XML document transformations, which will be done in
several new packages which are being built on top of libbayonne.
In separating the server from core Bayonne processing, it is also
possible to create special purpose telephone integration servers which
take advantage of special features of specific telephone systems. I
might look at doing one such server as a revised version of my old DBS
server for Panasonic DBS telephone systems since I still have one around
to test with.
