Greetings ooRexx'ers,

As I understand it .local is for MY program, and for my program only (my house,
my property…), and that is exactly how I want it. I would be very surprised if
I had stored some internal values in
.local only to find out later that ANOTHER program (running in another thread,
which I assume must run in another interpreter instance?)
Further, in ooRexx (compared to the former CRexx interpreter on OS/2) you have an additional concept, 1) Global to all programs 2) Local to only your program 3) Local to only one thread of your
program. Perhaps is some of this confusion resulting from three scopes being attempted to be represented by two entities?
If Rony wants to use some mechanism to communicate between interpreter
instances, why do you not try to come up with alternatives to .local? For me
.local is also a really bad idea (Sorry Rony, it
really is) but PLEASE remember the Bsf4ooRexx is an extremely important asset
not only for Rony and his students, the entire Mac Community (and most likely
also the Linux/Unix community) lack a GUI,
and to be honest I would prefer a Java GUI over ooDialog anytime. So there is
as business case to try to work towards a solution for Bsf4ooRexx.
Agreed!!!!
I have gone so far as to add this paragraph to page 1 of my CV:
Ideal Next Assignment Possibilities:
Building a SOA Application Server Architecture using a Java stack (Tomcat / ActiveMQ or WebSphere / MQ) then BSF4ooRexx to bridge from the application server into ooRexx rapidly developed custom
business logic. ooRexx is a beautiful programming language to develop processing of various types with. Using the BSF4ooRexx bridge, blend together the power of industry standard Java components, MQ
messaging, and ooRexx business logic.
Thus, I am actively looking for a place to build another ooRexx powered Application Server. Leveraging the full Java stack already available reduces development time / expense building extensive C/C++
code from scratch.
I am thankful,
