Hi Simon, Yes, I do think and hope that some of this work will be useful to all & not just the Java folks :) I'm sure that the Java CTS would need to include tests that serialise to and from xml documents and XSDs. These could be re-used to test different language implementations (or based on what is in the existing interop suite). I've not done any C++ for 7 years (even then I was a novice). So, if you're volunteering to collaborate on the C++ or PHP side, I'm sure we can enhance them and get a richer set of interop tests if needed. It would be daft to duplicate tests in both interop and a Java SDO CTS :) As you say, passing serialised SDO would be core for cross language tests... I don't think we want to get into JNI from java into C++ passing SDOs 'cos I don't envisage people doing this.
Cheers for the comments Dan
