Hello, My current task is following: there is an apllication with GUI. This application has some processes managed and displayed its status by GUI. I would like to rewrite all torwards a client-server architecture. But I am not sure this is a typical client-server approche, because the server has to give a signal to the clients if its status was changed. Moreover I would like that the program can run on Linux beside Windows (or server, or client, or both). So I need some crossplatform solution. The speed is very important requirement, so that I think JAVA is not good choice on the server side. The program was written in C++. In short I should write an service application, which could be driven by a client program on an another machine and the server status changing should be displayed here too. I would like the client program to be a web application later. I have seen follwing so far: IPC: - NamePipes - CORBA - Apache ActiveMQ CrossPlatform: - QT I have no experience in IPC, so I can not decide that if a message queue approche is a good choice or not. Could anybody help me and give me the first step? Regards, d.a.
