One thing you want to think long and hard about is concurrency.  You must make
totaly sure that you can handle multiple requests at the same time; data
can have a sneaky way of becoming a global variables without you realising. 
But if you solve that, there should be no problem.

Re: Multiple Service Handling (IKC and HTTP/JSONRPC)

I'm the designer, but I'm just trying to get a good feel for some best
practices with POE before I make my final decision on the direction.

I haven't completed my design because I'm not sure what the best route is
yet. Hence all my poe mail-list questions of late :)

My app will have the following:

1)Apache will serve an Extjs(extjs.com) front end

2)The front end will send ajax requests
   a)Either to an IKC client lite cgi ( mod_perl or fastcgi) which would
process the params and then call the appropriate IKC event
.or...
   b)Directly to a POE based web server. The server would process the
params and then call the appropriate IKC event.
  *The client lite cgi or the server would respond with JSON for the
ext front end.

3)The IKC server will talk to different IKC Client workers to perform
automated testing tasks. Eg start a network test, stop a test, etc...

I think part of the problem is my lack of knowledge on POE, but I am also
just trying to get a community feel for what people have usually done and
what works wellin these kinds of scenarios.

No, it can be fine to combine services---even disparate ones---into  
one program, if that's the best solution to your problem.  Obviously  
the applicability is up to you or your systems designer.


For example, Bot::Pastebot (CPAN) is an IRC client and a pastebin web  
server in one program.

Multiple Service Handling (IKC and HTTP/JSONRPC)

2009-04-27 Thread Josh803316
I read the combined service example in the POE cookbook (
http://poe.perl.org/?POE_Cookbook/Combined_Services).

It gave me an idea to have multiple services handled from a single kernel
run call. This way, I could handle an ajax request, a separate web_services
request (json-rpc) as well as ikc client requests (ikc client liteor ikc
standard clients).

Would it be foolish to try and do all 3 of these inside one kernel run?
Could an IKC server handle these types of requests without having to include
the other 2..with wheels and filters?  I'm still very much learning the
