Hi, David. I don't like XML either. The 1st idea was simple communication via pipes, but Java, with its stupid way of being 'portable', doesn't have a way of retrieving a pipe's file descriptor, and using stdin/stdout standard ones is totally bad. For timing reasons, we just picked another rpc mechanism and that's it. The use case for that won't impact Editje's canonical use, though. > > -- > A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants > coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate > GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
