I thought i'd ask for feedback on this again, as we need IPC between 2 Java apps at work, and so far are leaning towards RMI for that. It appears XPCOM doesn't support out-of-proc interfaces, but comments are welcome. Is there a known RFE for this, and if so what is the status on that?Reshat Sabiq wrote:Can XPCOM be used for IPC? In other words, does XPCOM support what is referred to in Windows as "out-of-proc" components?In the reading i've done so far, i've not seen a mentioning of the IPC aspect. It might mean that it's not supported by XPCOM, but i hope it's just a matter of finding another tutorial, or of writing a tutorial on this aspect of XPCOM. It's definitely doable, and if XPCOM doesn't support IPC yet, i think it should be a priority to provide that functionality in the API. And of course, by IPC i mean out-of-proc component discovery, as opposed to just using memory-mapping etc., which can be done in straight C/C++, but which isn't in the spirit of COM or XPCOM.Thanks for any feedback.I googled and found one source on this: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gargamel/exjobb/Looks like this was done as part of a thesis, so that probably means that this functionality is not built into XPCOM yet. I haven't read thru the whole thing, but it doesn't look like the IPC API is publicly available to use in development, just the science behind it.P.S. The pdf link appears to be non-functional, but the other one works.
Thanks.
