[CDO] Non-Java Clients [message #1027625]

Hi,

We're happily using CDO server for a EMF and GEF based rich client modeling application. Now we're planning to perform changes to the models stored inside the CDO server from other technological environments based on
- Objective C / iOS
- Android Java
- C++ based application

We're now discussing on which level we could set-up this "technology transit":
- Simply create CRUD webservices for the objects stored in the CDO server
- Try to develop some kind of C++ based Net4J implementation and build kind of CDO client implemented in C++ / Objective C

The first seems the easier solution but is missing the possibility to communicate changes in the model in a push mode to the clients while the latter one seems to be quite complex.

What do you think about it? Is anyone aware of already existing tries in a direction of connecting non-java clients with a CDO server?

Regards,
Nils

I know of companies who successfully created (generic) web services and I wonder whether they are willing to contribute
them. Regarding the "push mode" notifications I wonder if there are related WS specs?

Reimplementing (and maintaining) Net4j and CDO in a couple of other languages is nothing would I even like to think about.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. In general I'm afraid of the re-implementation effort, too, but I was just wondering if I'm not almost there when I'm adding feature after feature.

For the push mechanisms I was thinking about using "new" web technology like web sockets if we implement a "specific generic" solution.

Regards
Nils
