Forum OpenACS Development: Re: SOA? - Generic XML-RPC Bridge to Database API

Posted by Frank Bergmann on
We wouldn't even have started with our own stuff here if there would have been some previous work. So yes, that's a pitty. But maybe "competition" is rising the spirits (and code quality) on all ends?

However, SOAP and XML-RPC are very different protocols and known web services such as the one from Google support both protocols, and even REST as a third one. Also, there may be differences in the priorities and scope. For example, we had to "reinvent" full-text search and filestorage for ]project-open[, because the existing stuff was completely unsuitable for us.

Another option is to keep our stuff private and sell it as a proprietary package. I've got no problem with that either... :--)

So Roc, I'm really curious to see your code. Could you please send me the current version as soon as possible? Maybe we can still stop the development here and adapt your stuff.

Bests,
Frank
