I think it's a very good question. Details should be probably decided by applicationframework developers, but they will be restricted bysecurity mechanisms. Because one of design decission was to have separate labels for applications and no rules between them, no straight forward data sharing will be possible for apps. So far the following mechanisms to allow that were considered: - service: obviously data can be passed from an app to another app through a dedicated service process - shared directory: as Casey mentioned in another e-mail, a transmutable, writable directory may be used for applications toexchange data in an unrestricted manner - direct socket connection set up by passing file descriptors: as I wrote in another thread, it can be created without violating Smack policy. Applicationscan then use such UDS connection to send files, possibly with zero-copy (e.g. sendfile(), splice()). IMHO these mechanismsseem to be enough for a good implementation of different sharing scenarions. But if they prove to be insufficient, we shall have a discussionon alternative proposals. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/dev
