Hi, i have client-server application which is written in python using XMLRPC protocol. The existing client is a command line. Now client application we are converting it as Web UI using java. I have seen some problems in writing a java client. At the server for each request from client, the server sends a response in hashtable and is serialized using "pickle". The python function we call at the server is
pickle.dumps(r, 2) -- where r is a hash table which needs to be serialized At the client (existing client which in python) we use this call to get the original data. r = pickle.loads(result) Since i am writing this client as Web UI client using java, i am not able to deserialize this data using java function "ObjectInputStream" and "ObjectInputStream" which are most common functions for deserialization and i getting error as invalid header. Is it possible to deserialize the data by java which serialized by Python or is there any compatibility issue. Is there any equivalent pickle tool on java which supports this operation. so that i can use across languages. Because of this problem i am not able to proceed further. Any body has any pointers for this problem. Any help is highly appreciated Thanks in advance regards Virg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
