Hello everybody, I have already found a fair bit of information
regarding on this group however I wouldn't mind expanding that a bit
if possible. :)
I am at the moment weighing my options in regards to developing a
distributed system. Some of the key characteristics are:
a) The server, apart from listening for client RPC's, must also listen
to a database demon which informs it about any updates. The server
then must notify the client about these updates, if the client is
interested (i.e. something like a callback). Also note that the server
must listen on two ports, for two different things (RPC's and database
updates)
b) The amount of data transferred from server to clientis relatively
big at the start of the application (around 10MB, but of course will
be larger with XML). Subsequent calls would most likely be of a
smaller size.
c) We would like to avoid the server being multi-threaded.
Obviously, one of the technologies I am considering are XML-RPC and
SOAP. However, there are a few questions still bothering me:
1. Throughout this group I keep runnning into posts where people claim
SOAP has the bigger overhead. I thought it was the opposite because of
the extra tags XML-RPC seems to insert with method calls and structs.
2. Does any one of these protocols have an advantage considering the
specs I gave above? The documentation on these two doesn't really
answer my question so I was hoping there might be somebody with
experience in using them. I am especially concerned about the
possibilities of implementing callbacks with these technologies.
3. How would these technologies rate compared to CORBA? (I know this
question has been here a million times, and I'm sorry, just would like
a perspective on this particular problem). What would be the
advantages and disadvantages?
4. At the moment the client and server are written in C/C++. Are there
any good toolkits out there? If they don't suit me, what are the steps
needed in building a custom SOAP (XML-RPC) app?
5. If I was to use a toolkit available for C/C++ and later on the
client side was re-written to be in Java, what would the necessary
steps be to get this working again? Would it be a huge task?
I know this is a lot of questions, but would be very grateful if
somebody could clarify some of these issues.
Thank you.

Hi, building a database backend for a Google Map application.
Struggling along in PHP (I'm a java dude) but doing pretty good. The
code below has me confused. Both will create valid files if sent to a
file. Both display perfectly in browser when you access the script
directly. However, only the 2nd one sends readable data back to my
application. The first one generates no elements errors.
Anyone have an idea why this doesn't work:

It is my understanding that in order to append XML to a file you would
have to read the file in as an XML document and insert the node.
However, what if the file is close to 1GB in size? Would you require
> 1GB of RAM to deal with reading this file in efficiently?
Also, is XML an optimal solution when files get this large? I know I
can solve my issue by formatting the records contained in my program

Hi Group,
I'm planning to write a program to find strings into an xml file
These strings could be like:
"Please Check Your Response" but user may
enter "pLease *space* cHeck Your Response"! anyway the search method
should find it.
As far as I know I have to go with RegExp class and also it should support
XML
issues as well.

I currently have an xml input file containing lots of data. My objectiv
is to write a script that reports in another xml file only the data I
am interested in. Doing this is really easy using SAX.
The input file is continuously updated. However, the other xml file
should be updated only on request.
Everytime we run the script, we track the new elements in the input
file and report them in the output file.

Thanks to some good help from a previous post, I have been able to create
well formed xml as part of a report logger app. However, I still have a
small problem. When I add new xml to the log file, the new nodes are
appended to the original file. What I really want is for the log file to
grow as "report nodes" are added. Also, I am a bit concerned about
performance, particularly as the file grows in size. I must write to an xml

Hi,
I'm using in a .NET app : MyDataSet.WriteXml("myFileName.xml",
XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema);
If I'm opening the xml file in VS2005 I can see only xml, not tabular
representation of data. The same xml file opened in VS2003 has its xml and
Data tabs => everything is ok.
What is the reason ??

Hi,
Using LINQ with xml files is a breeze, much easier than working with other methods IMO.
But I've run into a bit of a snag with it.
You see, I have an xml file that look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<merchandiser xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="merchandiser.xsd">
