[U2] Is there documentation for the Unidata RPC API
Does anyone know if such an animal exists? Here's the situation: UniObjects can be incorporated into PHP code via the COM object as long as you're running PHP via Apache under Windows. If you're running PHP/Apache on any other platform, well, you're outta luck as the COM object isn't supported anywhere but Windows. Maybe I'm missing something, but I have yet to see a viable non-windows UO-style PHP connector for U2 from IBM. (While there was that DeveloperWorks article talking about writing your own connector (in C, as I recall) that method uses PDO and I'd much prefer a UO-type interface.) So my thinking is that if the unirpc api is documented anywhere, maybe, just maybe, we could interface to it directly via PHP sockets and create a UO-style PHP class that gives first-generation U2 access. Or has anyone already done this? -Kevin http://www.PrecisOnline.com --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] Is there documentation for the Unidata RPC API
Kevin, for free and from IBM, why not UOJ? If you're using a typical shared host you may be able to use web services from PHP to a middle-tier server and use that to get into U2. The MySQL server and HTTP servers are usually separated at LAMP sites anyway. Doing it this way, the middle-tier, connectivity technology, and database are all completely independendent of the UI. So for free and not from IBM, have a look at http://nusoap.sourceforge.net/. I also wrote a blog about this FAQ: Nebula-RnD.com/blog/tech/mv/2008/10/mvbindings1.html It would be nice to get some movement on that. Then not for free and not from IBM ... there are alternatives.

Well, the Java PECL class appears to do the same without the need for an extra server; I'll have to investigate that. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
