What kind of mechanism will be used to communicate between the different parts of the system? dlopen works now for ResourceManager <--> IFD_Handler communications, and it could be used for loading ICCSP's into the ResourceManager. The tricky thing is the communications between the ICC-Aware program and the ResourceManager.. Can't use dlopen here because there is information that needs to be static between different applications. So I guess there are pipes, Unix sockets, SysV IPC and Corba.. Any other ideas / opinions? Is Corba mature enough yet on Linux? --------------------------------------------------------------- James Rose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Pursue the truth, no matter where it lies." -- Metallica *************************************************************** Linux Smart Card Developers - M.U.S.C.L.E.
