as i understood protocol buffer, it can support many languages such that serializing and de-serializing happens same language, example server and client should remain in C++ only , if i use protocol buffer c++ unit to share data? OR Server and client can remain in different lang and still share data?
correct me if i am wrong here. i am looking for some solution where beyond data that is being stored/shared, function calls that are made from one language can be executed over network in one of the supported solutions. example. typical real life system involve C++, C# and Java built components talking across. but since they cant understand each other directly, the most they can communicate is via data. i think protocol buffer helps here. (if my above questions answer is yes). also if i want to make another function call from C# component to C++ component , currently COM dll achieves it via marshelling/unmarshelling and achieves the same. can we extend protocol buffer to this level or support up to this level already exist with protocol buffer advance features? to me it seems possible by exposing function of the solutions registered under some compilation unit by tagging them and availing results back from function in protocol buffer objects format. exmple all functions tagged for exposure from Java code, are exposed as some global namespace object and protocol buffer compiler should accept call from C++ code or C# code and vice versa call can happen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
