Summary: is it possible to write an async C++ client against a regular async Java server (that is, WITHOUT using an HTTP transport). The only AsyncChannel implementation I could find right now is TEvhttpClientChannel.
The 0.6.x ChangeLog mentions "event-driven client and server support for C++": http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/thrift/branches/0.6.x/CHANGES?view=markup&pathrev=1056450 IIUC, that is referring to THRIFT-923. Confusingly though THRIFT-923 doesn't show up under THRIFT-1 or THRIFT-579. In any case, I was hoping to try out this feature for a project, so I tried building a small prototype first. My Java server is based on THsHaServer over TFramedTransport. However I'm unable to find a way to use an event-driven C++ client against that unless I also use the C++ TEvHttpServer. I've dug through the code, tests, archives and JIRA but didn't find any good leads. My conclusion is that another TAsyncChannel implementation is needed for this to happen. Am I missing something? If someone has working C++ async client code, it'll be great if you can share it. Diwaker
