Honestly, I don't know. I'm not sold on that architecture. I think that the engine is by far the smallest piece of Gnucash, and probably the most portable. The client side of the RPC Backend was a full GnuCash implementation -- the RPC was just an extension of the Backend API. So, leveraging that doesn't help you.
Adding xml-rpc is, IMHO, the wrong solution. Passing XML byte-string objects within an RPC is fine, but that's not the same thing. So, I would still start by writing a GnuCash UI in Qt/KDE; once that UI is written we can later decide on a way to improve and separate the interface between it and the engine (which is what it sounds like you want to do). However, I just don't see the value of such a separation because the engine is so small.... -derek Fred <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > This is what I'm looking at. > I read in the archive some discussions about the rpc back-end. > I also saw some code in src/experimental/cgi-bin (or something like that). > > I will come up with a proposal of xml-rpc methods, client oriented (as opposed > to Gnucash engine oriented). > I will do that as a define my needs for the KDE front-end. > > Derek, I understand your point.
