Transering data across networks / languages

[zaphy2k2]

Hi.

I have data that i need to stream to a socket / another machine. The client is in C++ (windows and macintosh compatible), and the server is in Java.
XML in C++ (Xerces) you cannot write an XML document out easily after creating it (Unlesss someone has a nice way of doing this plz?). I was thinking either CORBA or RMI, but then i need JNI on the client, so i need java then. I dont really know CORBA, is it easy in C++? Are there any good examples out there, or does anyone have a good suggestion of how i can do this easily? RMI?CORBA would remove the winsock crap i have at the moment, but bring its own problems. Transferring objects would be ideal of course, but then you tigtly couple the client and server, which i would like to remove.
What about just Using Http, is that Mac/Win x-platform libraries?

cheers

What are you talking about? Going on the title of that post (the only bit that makes sense), then you want to use DCOM, which is language independent.

I think what he wants is the same thing I've been wondering for a while; let me make it simpler.

If a server is in Java and a client is in C++, what's the best way to transfer data between them?

(Even if that's not the question he intended, I'd still like to know its answer. ;-))
