TCF - Guide on how to write your own clients? [message #31786]

Hi!

We're currently evaluating TCF, to renew our old communication software
in one of our projects. The first goal is to produce a working prototype
as a proof of concept. But the only thing we have to go on is the demo
projects provided, and reading code takes time.

Does anybody have any sequence diagrams or even simple notes, that could
help us know what steps to take to create a working piece of software?

What do we need to implement to establish a channel, what do we call to
discover peers? And so on...

Hi Peter,

We'll give an EclipseCon tutorial this year that should
hopefully answer some of your questions:
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2009/sessions?id=481

The code really isn't that awful to read, and
with a good tool like Eclipse JDT / CDT you'll
find your way quite quickly.

If you get the presentation files for the tutorial I gave
last year, you'll find a few examples using the plain C
TCF commandline tools that should help you understand how
the peer discovery etc works:

The main docs for TCF are still accessible from
http://wiki.eclipse.org/DSDP/TM/TCF_FAQ

Cheers,

Thanks for your quick reply. I actually have planned to attend the
mentioned tutorial on EclipseCon, and am looking forward to it. I also
have to complement you on the code, one can tell that it's not a hack
:-) But nevertheless, it helps to have a map when you're in unknown
terrain, it will shortens the "time to market". It seems to me that the
code is too structured to be written on free hand, so I assumed that
there would exist some kind of design documentation.
