[xul-talk] Server push and XUL

2004-12-16 Thread Arin Gehlhausen








Has anyone tried this? Does it make for a reasonable
application? My basic problem is that I have two different ways to do the
same thing. One is through a web interface one is a normal C++
application. But they both need to reflect the same information has they
can both be running at the same time. Can XUL (or something else) be used
to display changed information without the web user doing anything (having had
its stated changed with the C++ program)?



Thanks

Arin

Instead of calling it server push, I like to call it
client pull. The client uses some RPC mechanism to
contact the server. 

check out google suggest with a mozilla base browser
like firefox:

I haven't looked at the details, but I'm guessing its
using soap libraries in mozilla to retrieve
information from some backend service.

I have a tutorial at http://sulu.sourceforge.net how
to interface with a .NET webservice using apache axis
generated java stubs.

If you have control over what your backend and
front-end is, don't use webservices.  Use webservices
only as a least common denominator for
interoperability.  Build your system using whatever
technology you like J2EE, CORBA, JINI, JXTA, whatever,
then layer on a webservice adapter for
interoperability.
