Hello everybody, I'm writing a "Laurea" (Master) thesis about Internet Server Appliances at the CS Department of Pisa, and I'm looking for some relevant information that I was not able to find directly on the web.
In general, I'm looking for any kind of documentation which could help me to understand how some commercial products manage *** interoperability and portability issues ***, which are quite relevant due to the lack of a common communication protocol among the various kind of Internet Appliances of the various vendors. More specifically, I'm writing to this list because after reading the document "The Qube 3 Software Architecture Developers Guide (version 1.0)", I have some difficulties to understand how to use the CEE Libraries in certain situations. As far as I've understood, such libraries allow one to use, in external programs, the commands of CSCP protocol without needing to know the details of CSCP itself. Furthermore, the CSCPs commands can send data or invoke methods to the CEEd and the objects stored within CODB. Now, my question is: "Is it possible (and, if so, how?) to use these libraries to write external applications that send commands to CCEd and CODBs class object in order to carry out an AUTOMATIC transfer of data and objects from an appliance to another (just like the Sun Cobalt Migration Utility)?" Furthermore, do you know if there are other platforms, besides Cobalt, that deal explicitly with these issues of portability? I would be very grateful for any information you could provide. Thank you very much in advance, Federico Siri. _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
