Has anyone written a Java-to-RPC interface, to talk to legacy code?
See www.distinct.com. It implements a subset of RPC, and is a commercial, supported product. You can review RFCs 1831 and 1832 for information on the full protocol. Java programming language uses the same endianness as RPC’s external data representation (network byte order), so all the Java technology file reads/writes can be used directly. Netbula recently released Java RPC, a fully compatible port of ONC RPC to Java technology. The binary package can be downloaded for evaluation from http://netbula.com/javarpc/ See also http://www.nc-labs.com The specifications are in RFC 1831 (the RPC protocol spec) and RFP 1832 (the XDR spec). • (Sect. 20) Are there any automated tools for Javadoc? Yes. See http://www.mindspring.com/~chroma/docwiz for a Java development tool called DocWiz. It is the easiest way to add JavaDoc comments to your code. • (Sect. 20) Is there any information on XML and Java programming language? Yes. See http://developerlife.com It shows you how to use: • the Sun XML par
