Do you expect those formalized interfaces to remain stable long
enough
to warrant the effort to create alternative implementations? Others
have
provided alternative implementations in the past that quickly became
obsolete.

Putting PHP in front of the DBs is one of the most natural
things to do
from here on -- not just the things that Wiredux does, but for a
lot
more! In fact, the entire collection of OpenSim.Services that are
provided as reference implementations can be replaced with
implementations in Apache+PHP.
Calls from the simulators to the services are now all neatly
packaged in
OpenSim.Services.Connectors (these are the "out" connectors). Just
browse through those connectors and check out the wire
protocols, then
do the receiving end in PHP. Many of them are using standard web
forms,
others use XMLRPC, others use custom-made HTTP-based dialects.
Calls from outside to the simulators are packaged in
OpenSim.Server.Handlers. Again, check them out and, if not
using .NET,
write your own client for them. If using .NET/mono you can
import the
DLL OpenSim.Connectors.dll, and reuse the existing connectors as-
is.
But that's not all. Since now the interactions between the
simulators
and the resource services are all formalized in interfaces
(OpenSim.Services.Interfaces), and the handlers and connectors
in the
simulator are loaded dynamically, you can replace the connectors
and
handlers themselves. In other words, if you want OpenSim to talk
web
services, roll your own Web Services handlers and connectors
under those
interfaces, and you're done -- you'll have to use .NET for this
part,
though.

Hi,
First thanks for all your work.
I assume from this that the webredux will no longer work without
modification and will need updating. ( Thanks again here).
Is there any information about the new authentication approach
anywhere,
if not in detail then an overview. Is LDAP on the horizon?
I am mostly interested in linking php based frontends to opensim and
hence accessing the database directly. Particularly relevant is
moving
away from using UUIDs.
Please forgive me if I am missing something but I assume there are
no
web-services that can be called and calling C# from php is not a
very
good solution.
Thanks.

To be honest, I don't think Sqlite should be a database type
that we
(OpenSim) should keep alive in the project,
It is useful to have a double click and go out of the box solution
which people can try out and test with.
One other use of SQLite that I am aware of and fine very useful is
for the really simple and handy single region hosted on your own
system that is connected to the New World Grid for any avatar using
the "New World Studio" packaged version of Opensim. See
