First of all, your post is beyond the scope of this list.
That said, I would suggest checking out http://www.xmlrpc.com/
I haven't tried it personally, but it sounds like a good possibility.
If you need an Java IDE, I'm sure you know there are several for Windows.
The Linux situation is improving, but you can develop wherever you
wish and move the compiled code onto your production platform.
Good luck,
Russ

Hello to everybody.
Some days ago I posted a message, which nobody replied to. I assume this
is due to one of the following:
-This mail group is not for this kind of questions.
-What I'm talking about is not possible.
-Nobody wants to answer.
Could anybody tell me what thinks about the mail. I reproduce it bellow.
Hello to everybody.
This is my first message to the list, and I would like somebody to
answer some basic questions, for which I din't find answers at the
FAQ,
or perhaps I didn't understand them.
I'm to design the e-commerce structure for a medium size
multinational
corporation. Now, we're using asp pages, but I feel that even
PHP3,
which I find better (that's my opinion, I don't want to start a
religious war) pages are not the correct way to go, because I
think
e-commerce can be a lot more that our own web server. We must be
able to
offer interfaces to others to sell our products.
I feel that a good infrastructure should be based on CORBA and/or
Java
and Servlets, but while I've programmed and understand CORBA, I
feel
lost with Java.
So the fact is that I must make a decision soon, and of course by
that
time my experience with Java technology will be limited, thats why
I'm
asking the opinion of the experts that fly around this mailing
list.
The questions are:
I would like to have "net objects" providing an API to access our
products description, stock status, etc. Also I feel that this API
should be "portable" to other standards.
For example:
1)CORBA object gives API -> build ActiveX object aorund it to use
it
with IIS servers, or -> build servlet around it to use it with
apache
JServ, or -> use this CORBA API to build a client custom
application
2)Or perhaps: servlet gives API -> build ActiveX object around it
to use
it with IIS servers, or -> build CORBA API around it to build a
client
custom application, or -> use this servlet API to build a client
custom
application.
Also scalability is a very important issue.
I wouldn't like to use NT systems to provide critical services in
the
final infrastucture, I prefer Unix/Linux systems, because of
stability,
which is for me as important or more that speed processing, given
that
e-commerce will be a critical part of our bussiness (yes, I know
Internet is unreliable, but I don't want to be responsible for a
system
that hangs and losts information). But perhaps I'm wrong and
somebdoy is
using this kind of services with NT machines, and is very happy. I
would
like to know.
This perhaps makes option 1) less atractive, since I don't know
any
Rapid Development Environment of CORBA Objects for Unix.
But I don't know enough of Java technology to be sure that option
2) can
provide the infrastucture that I need, or if this technology (I
saw
RMI/IIOP for Java, looks good) is mature enough for a critical
bussines
service.
So please, anyone would give his/her personal opinion,
experiences, etc.
Thank you very much
