IMHO (personal, without any backing documents) is that since it is another application altogether, you should leave it as separated as possible, so a web service call is the best choice. This allows you to move the application to another host, as long as you keep the same communication protocol. A faster method (faster as in running time, not implementation time) would be to transform SearchI2G into an XWiki plugin/module, working inside the same application. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
