Hi all,
D-Bus is quickly spreading as an universal way to talk between applications on the Unix systems, and more particularely (but not only) the Linux platforms: HAL, GNOME, Avahi, udev, Beagle, Qt and KDE already use it. It is being ported to Windows and has bindings to many programming languages and environments. D-Bus is designed to be efficient and easy to use (remind CORBA ? ;-) ). It is mostly used on one same machine, but can be transported by TCP/IP. It has authentication mechanisms but no encryption so far (it must be tunnelled if outside of a firewall-protected area). http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fdbus UNO is powerful, portable, and at the core of OpenOffice.org, but it has the disadvantage of not being used outside of OOo. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Uno/Article/Understanding_Uno UNO does not compare exactly to D-Bus, since UNO is a full component model while D-Bus is more a matter of remote method invocation. However, they can be used for the same thing: remote control of an application. Here is my question: What are the plans to make OOo scriptable through d-bus? Sorry in advance if this is already answered somewhere, I did not find it. -- Quelle est la différence entre un rêveur, un fou et un psychanalyste ?
