The proposal is for a set of higher level C APIs for application developers as well as code generation tools building on the C++ & ocstack?s C APIs (that are too low level with many functionalities supported by a method like OCDoRequest()). To reduce the complexity for apps and generated code, IPCA also performs functions like periodic discovery in the background, timing out outstanding requests that didn?t get responses and detecting server down while there?s an outstanding observe on its resource. The proposal is to create IPCA directory in Service directory. so, i guess the basic idea is that people from samsung or intel or wherever get to just say "hey, this is a great idea!" and in it goes, no questions asked, no community input. sad! just to be really clear: the build system sucks. the source mostly sucks. the documentation sucks. the demo code would suck, if it existed. but you think it's a good idea to spend time on a new api, instead of making the fundamentals suck less. and the "new" api, afaik, is just an app api, which would not be needed in the first place if we had good docs and demo code. i just don't get it. love, gregg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
