Compare IBM to Apache

What are the advantages to using apache SOAP vs say IBMs SOAP bundled with websphere or MS SOAP bundled with .NET? -MJ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:

RE: Confusing issue on Maps

Not quite, if the type is a Map then a new Hashtable is created with the maps contents. This hashtable is then serialized. At least this is what happened in 2.2. -Original Message- From: Niclas Hedhman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 July 2002 06:21 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Con

Re: Confusing issue on Maps

Niclas, Have you written and executed code that is giving you an error, or are you just raising the issue based on reading code? Chris is quite correct about serialization, and that should work just fine. I am concerned about de-serialization, though, since it appears you will get back a Hashta

Scott, Can you point me to an example of how to Serialize/Deserialize a Vetor of Objects and send/receive them. Thanks, Indrasish. Scott Nichol wrote: > Niclas, > > Have you written and executed code that is giving you an error, or are you > just raising the issue based on reading code? Chri

Re: Compare IBM to Apache

While this is no definitive, expert comparison, here are some things that come to mind. .NET 1. Best interop with other .NET, including Microsoft extensions to standards 2. You can code in nearly every language but Java (with J# coming soon) 3. With Visual Studio.NET, developers barely need

For myself I was looking at using apache SOAP on websphere. I was look for reasons why it would be beneficial rather than just using what IBM created. Thanks -MJ -Original Message- From: Scott Nichol [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 11:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Su

Re: Confusing issue on Maps

To clarify something: MapSerializer serializes and deserializes Maps. On the serializer side, this means you can serialize anything that implements Map. On the deserializer side, this means you get something that implements a Map, but you have no control over the actual class. So, you can use a

Re: Confusing issue on Maps

To get a TreeMap or HashMap to serialize using MapSerializer, you can either register the MapSerializer for those types, or specify the parameter as having a Java type of Map, e.g. TreeMap myMap; Vector params = new Vector(); params.addElement(new Parameter("myMap", Map.class, myMap,

Re: Confusing issue on Maps

It is "inherent", but only for an exact match of the type Map. When the Parameter instance is created, the type specified there is used to determine the serializer. Specifying the type using HashMap.class does not match the serializer for Map, which is registered using Map.class. Alternatively,

RE: Confusing issue on Maps

The idea that "Apache SOAP forces you to be explicit about type" is a barrier in good system design. This breaks abstraction. I should be able to use a serializer for HashMap class where a serializer for Map is expected. Some runtime interaction causes search for Map serializer. If there is one --

Re: Confusing issue on Maps

Soumen, I am not a CORBA expert. When calling a method on a remote object, is the IDL for the method used to determine how to marshal the parameters, or is an instance of a type in a particular language always marshalled the same way? Something that distinguishes SOAP from, say, RMI is that the

Scott, Neither am I a CORBA expert. However, as a OO Software developer with CORBA experience, I can answer your first question with the following statements: SOAP is a XML based messaging protocol -- it does not care what kind of higher software layer is using it. However, a higher lay
