RE: XML for IPC

[Ken Crismon]

We use an XML data stream for our IPC as well.  We did not use the XML-RPC or the SOAP formats because we needed a much simpler format.  We use a SAX parser to rip the data stream apart on the server side and simple Java StringBuffer methods to manufacture the message.   We have not found that this architecture has any performance issues.  We are communicating between a set of Java services to a set of low level C++ services so an XML data stream passed along via HTTP was a good choice for us.   Hope that helps,   Ken -----Original Message----- From: Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 2:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: XML for IPC Hi,   I must apologise first if this question is irrelevant to this mailing list.   I am curious if it make sense or does anyone use XML for Inter-process communication ? I am thinking of using XML to describe the messenging structure between different applications on a single machine.   Please advice.   Thank you.   Regards, Lai
