New client-server communication system for Qt applications
Message 1 in thread
Hi All,
Today, Thorsen Consulting release the first public version of TC Orb.
This is a Qt based client-server communication layer you can use in your
applications. The system is implemented using the Qt network classes, and
adds very little runtime overhead to your system.
With TC Orb, you have access to signals and slots over the network. All
network methods are implemented as slots, giving you the option of connecting
signals to the server. The server can emit signals to the clients.
The transport system can handle a lot of data types. All types that can go
into a QVariant is supported. The Qt container classes are also supported, so
you can call methods using QStringList or QVector templates. If these are not
enough, you can define your own structs in the IDL file - these can hold all
of the above data types and other structs.
This is of course a cross platform system. We have tested it on Windows, Mac
OS X, and Linux. The clients do not care what architecture the server is
running on, it works between all system combinations.
Please see www.thorsen-consulting.dk/tcorb.html for more information.
