I've done this in a convoluted way before with certain things like bare web pages that act like database views and caching tricks with squid :) The application was special and this worked well, but a generic database interface for this would be quite nice. Isn't this what triggers are for basically? I've never really needed to use them, and when I thought about it I was always discouraged by people telling me they were quite slow, etc. > Actually MK does nothing in terms of distributing your objects as > independent services accessed via TCP/IP.

Not distributed stuff, but it's caching objects and data, etc? > But what do you want out of the middle layer?

For this application I also want that interface. The benefits of separating that storage from the data access are outlined in your Intro to MiddleKit :) The difference here is not just that the storage is LDAP and not SQL, but I'm not sure if the MK data and LDAP data would be sharable. I haven't played with it yet, and maybe I should have first :) > Does > that include automated storage to LDAP? I have no problem writing methods for update/delete/etc for ldap. I don't really expect everything to be automatic. Mostly I want the same (or similar) interface from the application side. I can do this by writing everything, but I'm trying to figure some way to not do that... or at least some way where I only have to do most of it once. jack. > Does it also include some kind of > IPC access on an object and method level? > > -Chuck _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
