We should probably compare and then put the best of both into JFFNMS. When you mean location, you're talking about things like "CPU", "board" etc?

What is really needed is some standard "framework" to plug in new interface types etc. The difficulty comes with the foreign keys, you cannot just do simple inserts because, for example, interface types have interface values which need to know the interface type number. I was thinking of writing some generic utility which can yank out the information from a database, generalise it (eg your interface 10010 is my interface 10042) into some data file and then have the same utility put the data back in. So it would create a new interface type, remember the id for it, create interface type values and link those to the new id. Do the same for things like alarms etc. Possibly it could stick the engine/* stuff in the right place too. My idea would be you would create all the things on your system, then run the tool to create the archive. You only would have to tell it the location of the ini file and the interface number, it should be able to work out the rest. Another person would then take the archive, run the extracter, and have the same setup (with the id sequence numbers different) as you. I believe something like that would greatly assist in sharing JFFNMS plugins. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
