[ome-devel] C/C++ client library for OME::Remote

[Curtis Rueden]

Hi Zach,

We are working on an OMECA-XML reader and writer, and are approaching these issues from the other direction. That is, we decided to write the reader/writer in Java, and then use the Java Invocation API ("reverse" JNI) to call the Java methods from C++ using JVM.DLL.

You could call the OME Remote Framework Java API using the same technique from your C++ application. Sun has some documentation online at:
   http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jni/spec/invocation.html

Cheers,
-Curtis

(c) Would it be a good idea to simply ape the existing Java interface/implementation, or is that something of a moving target?
