Hi. I'm working on an application tat communicates with embedded devices connected to the LAN. The devices are controlled by a central server written in C++. Django is used for the front-end or better to say the GUI for the server.
Part of the data the user needs access too are stored in the database, hence the Django DB API to access this data; however, there are certain data and actions that requires direct communication with the C++ server. The communication is implemented using CORBA (OmniORBpy). E.g. of a situation where the CORBA interface between the GUI and the server is needed is the flush of devices configuration or update of the following and this should be real time and not implemented polling the DB. Currenly I'm instantiating the CORBA interface to my server in the views.py. I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it as I just don't see how could I put the CORBA interface in the Model part of the GUI? << I'm still confused by MVC approaches certain frameworks like CakePHP use. I think Django is not such a framework; however, I still think I should somehow separate the data layer from the business logic (bottomline: Django is still kind of a MVC framework). How can I do this? Of course I would also like to solve the problem I'm currently facing: Let's suppose both the C++ server and Django web site are up and running. If the C++ server is restarted the web page doesn't work any more until when I restart the web server too. I instantiate the CORBA object in a global scope; however, I thought there is no persistence for the Django code between the web browser calls. Am I right? Why the connection to CORBA ceases working in such a case? << with e.g. C++ or Python stand-alone clients the connection is reestablished each time the script / program / ... is executed.
